Poder360·BR·about 7 hours ago
Argentina's 2027 budget allocates $9.3 trillion for education, down from $16.7 trillion in 2023, a 44% real decline per Argentinos por la Educación. The cut affects universities, literacy programs, and math funding, signaling sustained fiscal austerity under the current administration. This continues a multi-year trend of reduced education investment, with implications for human capital and long-term growth.
