BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Argentine President Javier Milei's government is promoting a reform that seeks to redefine the role of the state in public education, curb direct government intervention and give families greater control over their children's schooling.
A proposed law would legalize homeschooling, expand school choice and grant parents a more active role in school governance, including mechanisms to influence the appointment or removal of principals.
The stated goal is to introduce greater competition among educational institutions to attract students. The initiative has been submitted to Congress, and debate could begin in March.
The reform focuses primarily on basic education, which includes preschool, primary and secondary levels, while also introducing changes to the university financing system.
