Edgardo Zablotsky: Education as an essential service is essential, but it is not free. A paradigm shift is needed in Argentine education and giving parents back the role they should never have lost, he says.

He proposes creating a simple savings account for educational expenses of those affected students. Zablotky: This account would be managed by the parents, in such a way that their children could continue attending the school that the family has chosen at the time and not the one that, as a direct consequence of the economic crisis, they will have to attend.
