Buenos Aires, Argentina - The photo of 20 April 2024 shows the interior of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). The rectors of the country's public universities ratified Tuesday's march in defence of education and the university budget. They did so, in particular, in the context of a denial to the national government, which had communicated about an alleged consensus for an increase in the operating costs of higher education institutions. Ricardo Gelpi, rector of the UBA, says that the offer announced by the government must be dealt with by the National Interuniversity Council. "It was an offer from the Ministry of Education, which should be dealt with by the CIN. The government cannot decide on its own; the idea is to deactivate the march on Tuesday," said Gelpi. "They are trying to deactivate the march, but it is not suspended, categorically it is not suspended. It has been confirmed," he said.
