SUBJECT:  AMB WAYNE MEETS WITH OUTGOING EDUCATION MINISTER (AND 
SENATOR ELECT) DANIEL FILMUS 
 
1. Summary:  In a November 29 meeting with outgoing Education 
Minister Daniel Filmus, Ambassador outlined ongoing US 
Embassy-sponsored educational programs, thanked Filmus for MOE 
cooperation on the Youth Ambassador Program, and reviewed future 
areas for collaboration. Filmus said he was in the process of 
finalizing a decree to increase funding to the Fulbright program and 
identified English training and science exchanges as areas for 
enhanced cooperation. He will become the Chairman of the Senate's 
Environment Committee and continue to advise President Fernandez de 
Kirchner on educational issues. Filmus said that the new Minister of 
Education, the current Vice Minister of Education Juan Carlos 
Tedesco, shares Filmus' priority on English teacher training and 
increased science and technology exchanges and will be a good 
partner for the U.S. End Summary. 
 
2. Ambassador Wayne met with outgoing Education Minister Daniel 
Filmus November 29 to thank him for his cooperation on educational 
issues generally and the Youth Ambassador Program in particular. 
Ambassador Wayne noted that, as part of the US government's 
investment in Argentine youth (over $6 million from FY 04-07), the 
number of Youth Ambassadors would double this year from 5 to 10 
participants.  The embassy is also doubling the number of micro 
scholarships for disadvantaged youth, so that 120 students will 
study English at bi-national centers this year. Among other 
initiatives, the embassy has sent 33 English teachers to the US for 
intensive training over the past two years and will continue this 
important training opportunity in 2008. 
 
3. The Ambassador noted the overall decline in the number of 
Argentine students studying in the US despite the global upward 
trend. He and the Senator-elect discussed ways of increasing the 
number of educational exchanges including private-public 
partnerships. They praised programs such as Inte's Education 
Initiative that has had enormous impact in training almost 40,000 
teachers to date in 14 provinces and donating damage-resistant 
computers to students.  Filmus noted the particular need for 
exchanges in science and technology since the Argentine educational 
system is weak in this area. 
 
4. As a first step toward increased exchanges, Ambassador Wayne 
mentioned the importance of GOA compliance with the Argentine-US 
agreement by which Argentina is obligated to provide US $200,000 in 
funding each year for the bi-national Fulbright Commission.  During 
the economic crisis Argentina's contribution fell to US $68,000 
annually and has remained there since. The outgoing Minister 
responded that he had received a letter from Fulbright board member 
and president of La Nacion newspaper, Julio Saguier, to the same 
effect, and with a draft decree in hand for his signature, stated 
that he was prepared to increase Argentina's contribution to 
$100,000 this year, "as an indication of our intent to increase 
funding to the full level next year."  Ambassador Wayne thanked him 
and expressed hope that GOA funding would be restored next year to 
the agreed upon amount in view of the importance of providing 
Argentine youth more opportunities to study in the US. Ambassador 
described the new ten-year Fulbright program in Chile and the 
increased number of doctoral candidates sent by Brazil under 
Fulbright. 
 
5. Minister Filmus reiterated the importance of teacher training as 
in the Intel program so that technology is properly integrated into 
classroom instruction. He noted the large number of US students in 
Argentina (some 4,000) and gave the Ambassador a copy of "Study In 
Argentina: A Guide for International Students," which identifies 
Argentine universities for graduate studies, semester abroad 
programs, and Spanish studies. 
 
6. The outgoing Minister also underscored the vital importance of 
improving English teaching so that Argentina can compete in the 
global market. "These students need English to fully take advantage 
of these exchange opportunities and to study the science and 
technology skills Argentina needs," he said.  He referred to the 
urgent need for English teacher training and identified three 
priorities: teacher training at the Ministry's new teacher 
institute; use of national educational TV channel "Encuentro" for 
English instruction; and the need for more English books for public 
schools and other libraries. He said his Ministry would be 
particularly interested in any English teaching TV program that 
Argentine public TV could utilize. 
 
7. The Ambassador offered to explore assistance in these areas: the 
possibility of extending English studies to over 68 Globe Schools 
that are participating in a US-sponsored science and technology 
program for climate monitoring, and using visiting American science 
and technology experts to address groups of teachers at the national 
training institute.  In closing, the Senator-elect reiterated the 
strong interest of his successor - Vice Minister Juan Carlos Tedesco 
-- in these same areas, and of his own intention to continue working 
in the field of education as a key advisor to the new President 
-elect to make these additional exchange possibilities happen. He 
predicted that Tedesco would be a good partner for the U.S. 
 
8 Comment: The meeting with Filmus was cordial and productive. Not 
 
only was he forthcoming with more cash for Fulbright, but he also 
identified several areas where the Embassy and the MOE could 
cooperate going forward. Moreover, he said that he would continue to 
be involved in educational affairs from his perch in the Senate and 
that the incoming minister was predisposed to work with us in the 
same spirit of cooperation. End comment.
