They won't let them study: students from the Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires and Carlos Pellegrini have returned with the occupations.

The occupation of educational institutions has once again become a central topic in public discussion. This week, students from the National College of Buenos Aires decided to occupy the facilities of the institution, while protests continue at the Carlos Pellegrini School of Commerce.

The actions are taking place within the framework of the demand for university funding and coincide with a new national teachers' strike called for this Friday at public universities across the country.

However, the decision to suspend activities and occupy educational buildings has once again generated questions among families, teachers, and students who believe that such actions ultimately affect those who wish to continue with the normal delivery of classes.

“Students from the College communicated their decision to remain in the educational institution from the end of today's evening shift,” the authorities of the National Buenos Aires reported through an official statement.

The students argue that the measure aims to highlight the demand for the full implementation of the University Funding Law and to denounce the impact of budget cuts on the educational system.

Nevertheless, the occupations of institutions severely harm the academic calendar and restrict access to education for thousands of students who do not participate in the protests.

Public universities also leave students without classes

The conflict will also continue this Friday with a 24-hour national strike led by the Federation of University Teachers (FEDUN).

The measure will affect public universities across the country, including the University of Buenos Aires, the National University of Córdoba, the National University of La Plata, the National Technological University, and the National University of Rosario, among others.

As the years go by, it seems that no one realizes that there are other ways to express demands without needing to impede the normal development of classes or restrict access for students who wish to attend the institutions.

The central focus of the protests revolves around the University Funding Law approved last year by the national government.

Teachers' unions claim that the resources contemplated by the law have still not been fully implemented and denounce that universities continue to face budgetary difficulties.
