For the most success in finding employment in Argentina, it is an excellent idea to learn Spanish, so there may also be opportunities in the IT, engineering and car manufacturing industries.
Education in Argentina
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education in Argentina is free, so when you move to Argentina with children, a good idea is to register them with the local municipality to be allocated to the nearest local school. There are also international schools in Buenos Aires for English-speaking expats in Argentina, but these are more expensive. The education system in Argentina consists of:
Age: 6-12

Healthcare in Argentina
Healthcare in Argentina is made up of private, public and social services. Public and social healthcare in Argentina is free and provided by the state, and the private sector is funded by extra insurance. If you are thinking of moving to Argentina from USA, South Africa or anywhere else, it is a good idea to take out private health insurance for your length of stay, to access extra services and less waiting times.
Driving in Argentina
All foreigners moving to Argentina who wish to drive should remember to bring an international driving permit, as well as their local license and passport, and carry these while driving in Argentina. You should also exchange your license within a few years of moving to Argentina.
