The failed return to classes that occurred this week in Pirque continues to be talked about, despite the fact that the Minister of Education, Raúl Figueroa, ruled out that the practically zero attendance at schools has been a failure.
“Even if only one had arrived, as @Mineduc it is our duty to ensure the continuity of their learning,” he said that day on Twitter, in response to a comment from the president of the College of Teachers, Mario Aguilar, who had already described as “stubborn” this campaign by Figueroa in favor of the return to classes.
This morning, Figueroa replied to Aguilar again, pointing at Radio T13 that “it is very painful that the president of the College of Teachers considers absence to classes a triumph, that speaks a lot about the level of the union.” In addition, he questioned the mayors, noting that “we have a lack of leadership in the supporters, the mayors, who do not take the measures that they should be taking” and added that “the Ministry of Education will continue to make every effort to accompany everything as much as possible. this complex process of distance education, but we also have to be very clear that where sanitary conditions exist it is important to recover the school experience, because the effects of the pandemic are literally brutal, “he told 24 hours.
Despite this failed attempt, Figueroa is not discouraged and continues to seek a return, which was criticized this day by the vice president of the Education Commission of the Chilean Association of Municipalities (AChM), Maximiliano Ríos.
“We regret the insistence of the Executive so that girls and boys return to face-to-face classes in the midst of the pandemic and the intention is to question the leadership of mayors and their role as supporters of public education. It is incomprehensible that – amid the permanence of the risk of contracting the dangerous coronavirus – a bill for immediate discussion is sent to Congress, offering incentives to schools to start their face-to-face classes, ”said the mayor of Lo Prado.
In his opinion, “it is a modification to the subsidies law that is long awaited by the country; however, this situation is used to make an immoral offer as a perverse incentive, to the detriment of the integrity of the educational communities ”. “The educational community, in a high percentage, does not want to return to face-to-face classes while there are no guarantees for a safe return,” he added.
The mayor of Huechuraba, Carlos Cuadrado (PPD), also criticized this situation, assuring that what “should have been done from the beginning is that: after football, after commerce, after malls, after cinema, after all the normalization of life, children were the last to enter, because children are the most valuable thing a country has. “
“We in Huechuraba are not going to be forced to do what, naturally, indicates that it is dangerous,” he said.
“A montage”
However, this absence of students in the Pirque schools, specifically what happened at the Liceo El Llano, would be a montage, according to what was narrated by the mayor of the commune, Cristián Balmaceda (Ind pro RN).
“I think that mistakes were made here. Instead of talking only with the parents of the courses that were going to be invited, they should have talked to the Parents and Guardians Center of the school, in general. The other mistake is that, if they He spoke with the teachers who were going to work, perhaps the board of union 1 should also have been invited, “said the communal authority, who resigned from his membership in RN.
“What happened at the El Llano high school was a montage of a group of teachers who did not want to enter or return to classes, they called the press and, what is more painful, they communicated with the children so that they would not go that day “, he assured.
“If in El Llano the children do not want to go because the teachers do not want to go, they do not go no more. It does not matter to us,” he lashed out.
