After Fecode assured that he has not yet returned to face-to-face classes due to lack of biosafety protocols and lack of improvements in the infrastructure of schools, this Monday the senator of the Paloma Valencia Democratic Center published a proposal on his social networks arguing that “Fecode does not wants to return to classes “face-to-face under the alternation model proposed by the Government due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“If Fecode does not want to return to classes, the Government must immediately offer a school voucher so that parents can take their children to private schools”, was the trill of Valencia in which he mentioned his proposal.
Faced with this, the teachers unionized through the Colombian Federation of Education Workers (Fecode), responded to the senator and called her proposal “cynical” and “opportunistic”.
“Instead of guaranteeing a budget for public school infrastructure and that they can comply with the protocols in a safe return to classes for the educational community, they want to take advantage of the pandemic to privatize education. Cynicism and opportunism in one sentence. “

After this publication, Senator María Fernanda Cabal joined the discussion, who indicated that there must be “Freedom of parents to decide like all free markets. On the education of their children! ”.
Again the teachers’ guild responded, this time to Senator Cabal. “This sentence has so many problems in writing, spelling and semantics that we teachers are right. We will continue to defend public education so that it is not at the mercy of the” free market “and subjected to the interest of those who do not value it, because they do not think not even to write, “he trilled.

Because on Monday President Iván Duque announced that the selective isolation will continue throughout the month of October, Fecode pointed out: “The Government extended the mandatory isolation throughout the month of October, when those isolated from the reality of the country are the president and their ministers. If it were up to them, even children would be exposed to the virus on a daily basis in public schools without the conditions. “

Fecode added that, “he has been fighting for years for more resources for education, health, drinking water and basic sanitation. In May 2019 it was agreed to make the constitutional reform to the General Participation System (SGP) and the government of Iván Duque has not complied. Today, they are indispensable when returning to face-to-face classes ”.
The teachers of this union announced that this Wednesday, September 30, they will develop an extraordinary National Board, where one of the objectives will be to define strategies against civil disobedience, the construction and approval of a national mobilization agenda and the evolution of the pandemic.
