In Argentina, the education system is a responsibility shared by the national government, the provinces, federal districts and private institutions. The Ministry of Education is in charge of setting basic national guidelines, while curricular decisions are generally made at the provincial level.
The education system is composed of four levels: Early Childhood Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education and Higher Education. Early Childhood Education includes Kindergarten (ages 2-4) and one year of Pre-school (age 5). Elementary education is from grades 1-6 or 7 and secondary education is from grades 7 or 8-12, depending on the province. All students are required by law to complete 13 years of schooling, from pre-school through 12th grade. Higher education includes universities and tertiary institutions.
The academic calendar is from March to December, with a short winter break in the month of July.
Te sugiero que estudies mucho and hables la lengua a menudo.
I suggest that you study and a lot and speak the language often.
Lamento informarle que voy a (1)renunciar al cargo (position) de asistente (2)administrativo de manera irrevocable. Desde hoy dejo la compañía, pero no lo hago por estar bajo demasiada presión, sino porque no obtuve el (3)aumento de sueldo prometido. Hace un mes cumplí cuatro años en esta empresa y gano el (4)salario mínimo. Además, no tengo oportunidad de ascender a un mejor cargo y, debido al (5)horario de trabajo inflexible, salgo demasiado tarde en las noches. Aunque me preocupa quedar (6)desempleado , no tengo más remedio que buscar otra empresa. Sin embargo, considero que soy muy buen trabajador y que pueden encontrarse en el mercado local otras formas de (7)ganarse la vida decentemente. Espero que en el futuro, antes de (8)contratar nuevos empleados, haga un (9)presupuesto que incluya todas las inversiones, no sólo a un mes sino también a (10)largo plazo, que le permita cumplir las promesas hechas a los trabajadores.
Atentamente, Juan Manuel Castillo.

I regret to inform you that I'm going to resign the position of administrative assistant irrevocably. From today I leave the company, but I don't do it because I'm under too much pressure, but because I didn't get the promised salary increase. A month ago I turned four years in this company and I still earn the minimum wage. Besides, I don't have opportunity to ascend to a better position and, due to the inflexible work schedule, I leave too late at night. Although I am worried about being unemployed, I have no choice but to look for another company. However, I believe that I am a very good worker and that other ways to make a decent living can be found in the local market. I hope that in the future, before hiring new employees, make a budget that includes all investments, not only for a month but also for the long term, that will allow you to keep the promises made to the workers.
Sincerely, Juan Manuel Castillo.
