Debido a causas de público conocimiento por el rápido crecimiento del Covid-19, el cual acaba de ser declarado pandemia por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, lamentamos informarles que hemos tomado la decisión de postergar nuestra conferencia, para la cual hemos trabajado incesantemente durante muchos meses. Está entre nuestros principales valores cuidar a nuestros socios y a la comunidad de docentes y es por eso que con mucho pesar hemos tomado esta decisión tras largas deliberaciones.  

Aquellas personas que ya están inscriptas, conservarán su carácter de asistentes para el segundo cuatrimestre cuando confiamos poder realizar este evento tan esperado por la comunidad educativa local y en esta oportunidad también por colegas regionales e internacionales.

Seguiremos trabajando con el mismo ahínco y pasión de siempre para asegurar que esta edición  de nuestra BE Conference sea tan buena o mejor que las anteriores. Esperamos que este difícil momento que estamos atravesando a nivel mundial se resuelva en un corto plazo. En momentos así necesitamos estar unidos y continuar trabajando por el bien de nuestra profesión y de la educación en general.

Gracias por el apoyo constante de todos Uds. Vayan por este medio nuestras más sinceras disculpas por cualquier inconveniente que este cambio de planes pueda causarles.

Honorarios Profesionales Mínimos Sugeridos - Válidos para el Período Enero-Julio 2020

Compartimos con ustedes los resultados del relevamiento de honorarios orientativos correspondientes al primer semestre 2020. Como ustedes ya saben, los mismos fueron votados por los socios activos de APIBA que respondieron a la encuesta y deben ser utilizados como valores de referencia. La encuesta contempla un amplio abanico de situaciones de aprendizaje, aunque es probable que no podamos abarcar las particularidades de cada caso. Por tal motivo, la Comisión Directiva refuerza la idea de que es el profesional quien tiene la autoridad de tomar la decisión sobre cómo establecer sus honorarios.
