Valencia assures that there are parents who are “very worried” because they still cannot send their children to state schools and that prevents them from returning to their work (those who do not telework).
In this sense, she said, in a trill published below, that since Fecode does not want to adopt the blended scheme to gradually return to face-to-face classes, the Government should guarantee school vouchers so that students from public schools go to private institutions.
If Fecode does not want to go back to school, the government must immediately offer a school voucher so that parents can take their children to private schools.

The senator of the Democratic Center expanded her idea in an interview on Blu Radio where she indicated that private schools assured that they have the capacity to expand quotas.
One of the conditions, explained Valencia, would be that the private school to which the student is going to be put has a higher average in the Icfes tests, than the public institution; but the initiative has not yet been considered by the Government.
However, Fecode, through its president — Nelson Alarcón — and some Colombians rejected the proposal, because they see it as a way to privatize education.
In this regard, Alarcón said on the same station that teachers do want to give classes in the institutions again, but that the Government is the one that has not given the conditions for that to happen.
“The only claim they have had and today they have more than ever is the privatization of public education. We want to return to educational institutions, but today the conditions are not there. Who is not prepared is the national government because it has not adapted the infrastructures, nor the sanitary units. There are no public services such as drinking water, ”declared Alarcón.
The teachers’ union was joined by tweeters who rejected the congresswoman’s idea, turning ‘Paloma Valencia’ into a trend, as can be seen in the following tweets:
I cheek yours Senator. They have opposed the presence of Congress and to return the 14 million representation expenses, but they do want to send the children to the slaughterhouse.
Begin by setting an example so that someone will believe you. https://t.co/Yie3847nn8– Gustavo Bolívar (@GustavoBolivar) September 29, 2020
Then Paloma Valencia says that FECODE does not want to work when they have slightly opposed going back to face-to-face sessions and where the risk of contagion is much lower than in a classroom with 50 students.
They have the logic where the sun does not reach them.

Why is it surprising that Paloma Valencia asks public schools to return to classes but that she continues to work from home? She is one of the same people who ask for war but for others to go, who asks to fumigate areas where they do not live and a long etcetera.

If Paloma Valencia does not want to return to Congress, the Government must immediately offer a parliamentary bond so that citizens can assume the tasks of the honorable senator. https://t.co/PPZORrw9tU

However, the Uribista parliamentarian also received the support of others, such as that of her colleague and benchmate María Fernanda Cabal, who trilled that it is parents who must decide on the education of their children.
The freedom of parents to decide like all free markets. About the education of your children! https://t.co/bHqMbheDOl
