A well-educated work force

Four out of five Argentine adults have completed grade school, over a third have completed their secondary education and one in nine Argentine adults have college degrees. Likewise, Argentina has the highest rate of university students in Latin America, besides having more within the southern hemisphere with professors and institutions awarded prestigious prizes and fellowships from philanthropic institutions like the John S. Guggenheim Foundation^[12] awards or the Howard Hughes Medical Institute,^[13][14] to name a few. Official sources recently reported roughly 1,500,000 college students within the Argentine University System^[15]; this represents the highest rate - relative to its total population - of academic students in Latin America and exceeds the ratio in many developed countries.
