DGE Mendoza

What DGE Mendoza does

DGE Mendoza (full legal name: Dirección General de Escuelas) is the provincial government education authority of Mendoza Province, Argentina, operating under the Ministerio de Educación, Cultura, Infancias y DGE of the Mendoza provincial government. The entity is responsible for governing and delivering free public education across all educational levels — Initial (ages 45 days to 5 years), Primary, Secondary (general and technical), Higher Education (including teacher training institutes), Special Education, and Adult/Permanent Education — through a network of more than 1,000 schools distributed across all 18 departments of the province, with 18 regional delegations providing decentralized coordination. Specialized modalities include prison education, hospital/homebound education, rural education, artistic education, and technical-vocational training centers.

The organization's technology backbone is a suite of integrated educational management and delivery platforms. GEI (Gestión Educativa Integral) is the core student/teacher/school management system, supported by GEI PAD for family-school communication, IDGE for infrastructure evaluation, SIGA for administrative and legal management, SIE for infrastructure planning, and RAWEB for web-based education. Delivery is supported by EDM Aulas Virtuales (virtual classrooms) and digital learning platforms including Matific (third-party) and AI-based tools Mendoza Aumentada and Cumbre. Pedagogical programs such as PEAMM (literacy and math skills), MMAM (math improvement), PLEM (reading), Fluidez Lectora, and CITIAM (inquiry-based learning) sit alongside the technology stack as provincial curricular frameworks.

DGE Mendoza is funded entirely through annual provincial government budget allocations; it charges no tuition and generates no commercial revenue. Its governance is structured around three Subsecretarías (Educación, Administración, Infraestructura Escolar) and multiple directional departments per educational level. Recent activity includes national validation of 27 new Higher Education study plans, province-wide training of 500+ teachers on AI platforms, expansion into prison education centers, and enactment of multiple provincial laws (9599, 9611, 9645) formalizing its digital infrastructure. The organization's GTM is direct service delivery through its own institutional network rather than commercial sales.
