On Friday, Argentina’s Senate approved a budget that cuts funding for key sectors such as education and science. Article 30, already passed, repeals laws guaranteeing minimum GDP investment in these areas, including the 6 percent allocation for education and the progressive path to reach 1 percent for science and technology. The measure also reduces financing for technical and vocational education, which institutions have already criticized for delays and cuts. Voting on other articles of the budget continues.
