Teachers and non-teachers deepen the plan to fight for salaries and financing. Uncertainty grows in students and families.
The National University of La Plata A week marked by forceful measures begins again in a conflict that finds no solution. The teaching claim, led by ADULP, is based on salary loss and non-compliance with the University Financing Law.
The scene is already one of high conflict in the city. So far in 2026, there have been more than 20 days without classes, with 15 days of teacher strike and 10 days of teacher strike, in one of the most tense beginnings of the cycle in recent years.
The protest is not isolated. It is articulated with other sectors of the university community, such as ATULP and FULP, which in recent weeks have reinforced joint actions with mobilizations, public classes and popular soup kitchens.
Mobilization and open conflict
One of the most visible points of the conflict was the recent torchlight march through the center of La Plata, which brought together more than 5,000 people including teachers, students and workers. The mobilization reinstated the debate over university financing and anticipated a new week of strike.
At the national level, tension is also escalating. The teaching federation announced a new Federal University March for May 12, with protests throughout the country in defense of public education, science and salary restructuring.
Meanwhile, the impact is already being felt in everyday life. Classes continue to be interrupted, academic calendars are altered, and uncertainty grows among students and families. In parallel, other complaints are added, such as problems in the accreditation of the university ticket, which deepen the discomfort.
In this context, it emerged that the national government could convene rectors in the coming days to open an instance of dialogue. However, skepticism predominates in the university community: the conflict remains open and the first semester progresses without certainties.
