The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of the Buenos Aires City government in its education dispute with the national government, confirming that City Hall has the right to decide whether in-person classes at schools in the capital should continue.
Four of the five Supreme Court justices – Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda, Ricardo Lorenzetti and Horacio Rosatti – all voted to limit the national government s say over educational matters. Elena Highton de Nolasco, the court s other member, chose to abstain given her belief that the issue was not a matter for the court. The CABA [Autonomous City of Buenos Aires] and the [country s] provinces can regulate the opening of schools, read a 91-page ruling issued by the court minutes after the decision became known. It declared that regional governments could prioritise the opening and resumption of face-to-face classes.
