Los vouchers that the libertarian candidate Javier Miley proposes to implement in the educational system in case of being elected now were harshly questioned by the Minister of Education of the Nation, James Perczykwho assured that the initiative «reinforces inequality«.
The national official, consulted by the proposal of the presidential candidate of La Libertad Avanza, warned that if education “works like a business” then “where there is no demand, there is no school«.
He also indicated that the current national deputy raises “somewhat contradictory» with three axes at the same time: «One is the privatization of the educational system. The second thing is that education is a business, and the third thing is the vouchers«.
In dialogue with El Destape Radio, Percyzk assured that “the combination of privatization, business and vouchers” makes educational institutions of different levels «in trade» y «in clients” to the students.
«Strategic careers are not financed, but what is financed is per enrolled kid. So inequality is reinforced once morewhich we already have in Argentina, but it reinforces it”, questioned the head of Education.
The minister gave the province of Buenos Aires as an example, where rural schools, having a low flow of students, «they will not have books, they will not have connectivity, and the teachers will earn less«, in case the voucher system is implemented.
«The school that works like a business, works where there is a lot of demand. Where there is no demand, there is no business and there is no school, “she warned in this regard.
What the Minister of Education said regarding the experience of vouchers in Chile and the teaching parity
Regarding the experience of vouchers in Chile, a reference to the liberal candidate’s proposal, Percyzk indicated that “caused neighborhood schools to close» since «it was necessary to go to where there was more purchasing power» for its financing.
Finally, when asked to update teacher salaries, he explained that the portfolio he is in charge of is “negotiating in the national teaching joint with all unions» and announced that this week «we hope to be able to update the salaries».
In addition, he explained that the minimum vital and mobile salary for a day teacher whenever he just starts is “165 thousand pesos” and that they are “negotiating how we raise it in the month of September so that it continues to recover purchasing power.”
