National Education Front: an Argentine and Latin American project
The First Conference “ National Education Front: an Argentine and Latin American project ” was held on August 7 and 8 at the Floreal Gorini Cultural Center of Cooperation (CCC) in Buenos Aires, convened by CLACSO, CTERA, CCC-IMFC, RED ESTRADO, ALIE and AGCE.
On May 22, 2026, teachers' unions convened the "Open Assembly for Public Education," an occasion on which the "National Education Front" was launched as a response to the policies of dismantling public education and as the construction of a cultural, political, pedagogical, and organizational alternative that paves the way for an education that contributes to a collective Argentine and Latin American project.
On August 7th and 8th, a group of organizations, institutions, and collectives in the field of education convened to continue this creative process, inviting participants to two days of work aimed at reflecting on, exchanging, and collaboratively developing the core ideas of an educational program and strengthening ties to consolidate the "National Educational Front." In this same spirit, we encourage the inclusion of diverse, pluralistic, and inclusive individuals who can contribute to enriching this shared journey.
Among other activities, Pablo Vommaro , Executive Director of CLACSO, joined the Opening Panel on Friday the 7th along with Sonia Alesso (Ctera), Nora Gluz (Red Estrado/Alie), Pablo Imen (CCC /AGCE) Juan Carlos Junio , coordinated by Gabriela Nacht.
