The Ministry was founded in 1949, when the state's education portfolio was split from the Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction in the first cabinet of President Juan Domingo Perón;[2] the first minister was Oscar Ivanissevich.[3]
After president Javier Milei dissolved the Ministry of Education turning it into a secretariat,[4] Carlos Torrendell was appointed as secretary.[5] The secretariat is controlled by the Ministry of Human Capital.[6]
The secretariat of Education is headquartered at the Sarmiento Palace, popularly known as "Pizzurno Palace" due to its location on Pasaje Pizzurno, in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Recoleta.[7]
