The graduation ceremony, attended by esteemed guests including the Minister of Education and the Mayor of Buenos Aires, featured representatives from Inflectra. The Minister of Education applauded the graduates and announced an ambitious new initiative. Going forward, the Ministry plans to integrate Inflectra's platforms, Spira and Rapise, into its educational institutions across Buenos Aires. Quality Assurance, Test Automation, and Software Testing will be taught using the Inflectra platforms in all three technology-oriented programs under the Ministry's purview, including Codo a Codo. 

This move signifies the Ministry's commitment to a comprehensive, multi-year educational strategy aimed at providing technical specialization and vocational training, lifelong learning, and software QA education using the Inflectra platform to all citizens of the country. Starting from the next academic year, the Inflectra Platform will be employed full-time in Codo a Codo, as well as in the other two technology-focused initiatives where Sofware QA and Automation are taught. Consequently, the number of students benefiting from Inflectra's industry-standard platforms will increase to approximately 30,000 annually.
