The ''Ministerio de Educación de la Nación'' ('''Ministry of National Education''') in [[Argentina]].


<!-- Say something brief about its mission etc. -->
After independence, Argentina constructed a national public education system in comparison to other nations, placing the country high up in the global rankings of literacy. Today the country has a literacy rate of 97%, and three in eight adults over age 20 have completed secondary school studies or higher.

Education in Argentina is a responsibility shared by the national government, the provinces and federal district and private institutions, though basic guidelines have historically been set by the Ministry of Education.
