Within the framework of adjustment that all provincial governments carry out Against education and against the salary of teaching and workers in the sector, a recent survey carried out by economist Alejandro Morduchowicz indicates that the Province of Buenos Aires is among the districts that pay less to teaching if the salary is compared with the cost of the basic basket In the region.
Published in the observer, the report accounts for the salary scheme of the Argentine provinces. Thus, Santiago del Estero is the district that pays best salaries in that comparison. All others are ordered down, attending to that pattern. Buenos Aires occupy third place upwards. The last two places are for Chubut and Entre Ríos. The data correspond to December 2024.
The comparison has a very important methodological point in your favor: Absolute numbers cannot be compared, but it is necessary to compare the salary with how much it costs to live in a certain region of the country.
The salary claim of the teaching is expressing in different parts of the country, in response to adjustment. So far from 2025 we saw very hard fighting for salary and working conditions in provinces such as Córdoba, Santa Fe, Neuquén and Chubut, among others. There have also been stops and claims in CABA and Santa Cruz.
The mentioned survey also indicates that for Buenos Aires teaching to reach the salary level of its peers from Santiago del Estero, The Kicillof government should grant a 91.5% rise. That rise, in the case of CABA – the richest district in the country – should be 57.1%.
In dialogue with this media, the economist recorded other data that also makes the dramatic reality of teaching in the province that governs Kicillof. For example, if the average salary is compared, It is estimated that the workers of Buenos Aires education lost 27.8% of their real salary between December 2022 and the same month of 2024. That is, a period that corresponds to one year from the Milei government but, also, the last year of the management of the front of all. The general loss of all districts was 16.1%. That is, in PBA the fall was greater.
That important Salary delay is what explains the anger that is at the base of the huge strike that is taking place this Tuesday, May 20. To prevent the anger from expressing, Governor Kicillof opted to the threats of discounts and finally to the mandatory conciliation, completely authoritarian measure, where the State, the same employer in this case, annuls the right to strike of education workers. So much so, it could not prevent the huge anger from expressing.
