This date is celebrated because that was the day in 1959 when the National Council of Technical Education (CONET) was created, which is currently the National Institute of Technological Education (INET).
Since 1995, the INET, belonging to the Ministry of Education of the Nation, is responsible for the coordination and application of public policies related to Technical and Professional Education at the Secondary Technical, Higher Technical and Vocational Training levels.
Last September 7 also marked 18 years since the enactment of Law 26,058 on Professional Technical Education (ETP).
From the INET, a discussion was held with the participation of the Minister of Education of the Nation, Jaime Perczyk, who highlighted that the Technical and Professional Education Law “allowed a 111% growth in student enrollment and the creation of new 136 institutions since 2006” and maintained that “this was possible due to the presence of the State.” You can view this event by clicking here.
