Argentine President Milai, who has been repeatedly protested for his radical economic policies, has taken new measures. According to the "Argentina Times" report on December 30, 2023, Milais recently submitted a "comprehensive bill" to Congress, suggesting that children over the age of 9 can choose distance education, thus canceling the mandatory school attendance stipulated in the previous "Education Law" study.
The bill stipulates that distance learning can be used as an education program in addition to face-to-face teaching, and minors can receive education in different teaching methods starting from the second stage of primary school. Obviously, if this bill is passed by Congress, children in the fourth grade of primary school, that is, children over 9 years old, will not need to go to school to study. Previously, Argentinian law stipulated that distance learning could only begin if you were 18 years old. In rural areas, it can be implemented from the middle school level.
Public opinion believes that "Millais' education reform" means that Argentina's education system will usher in an unprecedented change. Alberto Sileoni, Director General of Culture and Education of Buenos Aires, believes that “the proposal to use distance learning as an alternative to face-to-face education for children is unacceptable. This approach goes against the socialization of children and is contrary to It is not conducive to establishing a lifelong bond with children, but it is also contrary to the establishment of close interpersonal relationships between teachers and students." Some people believe that if this policy is implemented, the government will undoubtedly save a large amount of expenditure on basic education. But many people are worried that children from poor families may become victims of this education reform due to the lack of necessary distance learning resources and family support. ▲
