The Ministry of Education of Jujuy has initiated the bidding process for major renovations at two technical schools in the province. The announcement comes ahead of Argentina’s Technical Education Day and involves public international tenders for upgrades at Escuela de Educación Técnica N°1 “Gral. Manuel Belgrano” in Maimará and Escuela de Educación Técnica N°1 “Gral. Savio” in Palpalá.
On November 13, the ministry held two separate bid opening ceremonies at its main complex. These events were led by Matías Torcivia, Secretary of Infrastructure, alongside Eugenia Martínez Alvarado, Secretary of Strategic Programs and Projects; Mariana Brandán, General Director from CAF; José Palomares, Deputy Director of Works; members of the State Attorney’s legal team; school directors; and representatives from bidding companies.
At 10 a.m., officials opened bids for International Public Tender No. 3/2025 to carry out comprehensive refurbishment at the Maimará technical school. Later that morning, at 11:30 a.m., they opened bids for International Public Tender No. 4/2025 regarding similar work at the Palpalá institution.
During both proceedings, Torcivia emphasized the significance of these projects: “Este tipo de inversiones no solo renuevan los edificios, también potencian la formación de cientos de jóvenes jujeños. En la previa del Día de la Educación Técnica, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con instituciones que forman perfiles profesionales claves para el desarrollo productivo de la provincia.” (Translation: “These types of investments not only renew buildings but also enhance the training of hundreds of young people from Jujuy. On the eve of Technical Education Day, we reaffirm our commitment to institutions that train key professional profiles for the productive development of the province.”)
The tender processes proceeded as planned and will continue according to established regulations.
