The students of the Higher Teaching Institute No. 8 “Almirante Brown” continue to be mobilized by the poor conditions of the current building on 25 de Mayo Street at 3700, and to insist on the need for the reformulated project of the new building to have the necessary space to accommodate the entire enrollment of 2,800 students.
For these reasons, this Thursday afternoon they gathered again at the corner of 25 de Mayo and boulevard.
“The main reason, in addition to the historical claim of the building itself, is due to the current conditions of the classrooms where we are studying. We still have not had a response, we have not had any repairs. The roof, the bathrooms and the windows remain the same. So we need you to give us an answer, we can’t wait any longer,” said Daniela, one of the students who mobilized. And she added: “We are quite clear and we are going to continue fighting until they give us an effective response.”
The student indicated that in theory they are talking and negotiating next arrangements, “but until now we have not seen any real action and we are fed up. There are classmates who have pieces of the ceiling fall on their heads. We cannot use the bathrooms, we do not have water “It is unbearable to study like this,” the young woman complained, in dialogue with the CableyDiario channel.

For her part, Camila indicated that the current building of the higher institute, which operates in the complex where the first and secondary school of the same name is located (25 de Mayo 3762) “there are risks” for the students due to its poor condition. “The most recent one we had was when the building flooded last year. There was a risk of electrocution, and at that time we didn’t have classes. And with so many days of rain we couldn’t go to school. After the rain passed, the mosquitoes and we don’t have glass in the windows or heating. Plus there is humidity, the ceilings are falling, the walls too. It’s terrible.”
Questions about the reformulated project
Although to date, the Ministry of Public Works of the province has not released the reformulated architectural design, it was known that the building – which will be erected on a property located on the corner of Castellanos and Güemes – will be lower in height than the initial project of 11 floors. It was objected for lack of consultation and because it does not comply with municipal regulations, according to Municipality sources.

This new architectural project raises questions in the educational community. “Suggestions have been presented from the institute; they met on Monday. We are waiting to be told what was resolved. Recommendations were made regarding some conditions that had already been suggested on issues of deaf teachers, the number of classrooms that They have not been taken into account. We also insisted on that. Also some requests from the students as a place where the children of our fellow mothers can be,” said Daniela, who stated that “four floors is not enough for us; that more than four floors cannot be built”.
In relation to the reformulated project – which has not yet been publicly announced – Camila added that it generates “intrigue, dissatisfaction, we don’t know what is going to happen. They promise us four apartments in which we will be in the same conditions: it will be new, but we are not going to enter and we are going to be with groups limited to the races. So, what good is it if we don’t all enter?” said the young woman.
