Leaders of the university teaching unions celebrated the half-sanction that the project that promotes the creation of five new houses of higher education in the country obtained in the Chamber of Deputies, and agreed to point out that the approval of these initiatives was experienced as a fact " progressive" that puts public education on society's agenda. The general secretary of the Association of Teaching Workers of the University of Moreno (ADUNM), Federico Cormick, pointed out that "the progress towards the creation of new universities is a very important event for the current context" Firstly, because access to public universities is expanded. Secondly, because it implies the affirmation of an education project in a context in which the right is questioning the validity of this fundamental project for our country," Cormick said in dialogue with Télam. Cormik also highlighted the endorsement that the Lower House gave to the creation of the University of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo because "it means recognition of a very important work that has been carried out at will for a long time." "It is the assessment of a trajectory of struggle, of organization, of assessment and defense of human rights and of the construction on that basis of a public university," he noted.
