The Minister of Education of the Nation Jaime Perczyc confirmed that the matches of the Argentine soccer team during the World Cup in Qatar will be broadcast in public schools throughout the territory. “The boys in Argentina ask to see the World Cup matches. It is important that they see each other at school, they must be linked to questions of ethical training, and the sporting event must be filled with cultural content”, he pointed out.
Furthermore, the minister criticized the ban on inclusive language by the Buenos Aires government and justified it by pointing out that “The boys use them to denounce a situation of discrimination and machismo”. Also ratified the decision to increase one hour a day of classes in public schools from all over the country following the winter break, as will happen with Tucumán, Santa Cruz, Chaco and Catamarca.
In dialogue with Diego Shurman on AM 990 Radio Splendid, Perczyk was in favor of broadcasting the matches of the national team in the 2022 Qatar World Cup in schools, in an democratic and regulated manner.
“The boys in Argentina ask to see the World Cup matches. It is important that they are seen at school, they must be linked to issues of ethical training, and the sporting event must be filled with cultural content”, justified the minister.
The official, in addition, ratified the decision to increase the hour load of classes in the primary public schools, in a measure that in its accumulation will add 38 days to the school year. “We must ensure that children learn more and spend more time in school. I saw no resistance from teachers. Any change in working conditions must be done through parity. The national government finances at least 80%,” he said. Perczyc advanced that the idea is to extend the time extension to all jurisdictions in the country.
Finally, the Minister of Education once more differentiated himself from the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, criticizing the prohibition of inclusive language, pointing out that “it makes no sense” in the face of social practice. “The boys use it to denounce a situation of discrimination and machismo, which is unfair. There is no scientific research that says it affects language learning”, differed from the sayings by Soledad Acuña, her Buenos Aires peer.
