After a dialogue between the ruling party and the opposition to make changes to the original text, the project was passed for signature and will be discussed tomorrow in the Budget and Finance Commission from 10 in the morning.
During the presentations, Sonia Alesso, General Secretary of the Confederation of Education Workers of the Argentine Republic (CTERA), pointed out the importance of extending the initial level, included in the project. “It is something that we have been systematically raising in the national teachers’ union,” she recalled.
“It should be noted that we women teachers who take care of other people’s children pay so that our boys and girls can go to a kindergarten in decent conditions. And that working women have a double or triple job because, in addition to working at school and at home, they are in charge of care policies,” she added.
Alesso also endorsed the strengthening of the secondary school and asked to “discuss the job.” “Argentina’s problems are not going to be solved with economists who have never been to a school, they are going to be solved by talking to teachers,” he said.
The head of CTERA also insisted that the “number of children per classroom” be included and also state “what school we need.” “There have to be decent buildings,” she said.
Among other topics, he referred to increasing investment in technical schools and spoke regarding the increase in mental health problems in children and young people. “The increase in adolescent suicide or other types of injuries is very serious, it is an issue for which we need cabinets in schools,” she warned.
Meanwhile, Víctor Moriñigo, vice president of the National Interuniversity Council, considered that “it is excellent news that the possibility of resorting to projects to finance education is on this country’s agenda.”
“To maintain that we believe that education is a human right and is an obligation of the States,” he added. Moriñigo celebrated the positive aspects such as “putting the 3, 4 and 5 room on the agenda, the psycho-pedagogical offices of each school, the second language and the strengthening of technical schools”, as well as “extending the days in days and hours” .
Marcela Browne, secretary of the Argentine Rights to Education Campaign, claimed that the project does not mention “students in home and hospital situations, nor does it mention people in the context of deprivation of liberty and the education of young adults.” “It’s delicate to mention some and not mention others,” she said.
On the other hand, Esteban Torre, director of Education at CIPPEC, celebrated that Congress is discussing an increase in educational investment and that the discussion “considers such relevant objectives as access to early childhood education, basic literacy, the extension of primary day and the reference to key aspects of the transformation of the secondary level.”
Flavio Pinto, from the Association of Private Education Institutes of the Province of Buenos Aires, considered that “it is the great opportunity for the entire political arc to define long-term consensus that will respect all the efforts that will come for at least 10 or 15 years.”
At the same time, he asked for consensus that “is not discriminatory once morest privately managed schools.” “The schools are bad because the families are bad too. Not every privately managed school is elite, that is the great message that I would like to leave installed,” she expressed.
Yamile Socolovsky, director of the CONADU Studies and Training Institute, stated that “it is clear that the idea that education is a fundamental right has become constitutive of our sense of democracy, a fundamental axis in the construction of equality and social justice. ”.
Francisca Staiti, General Secretary of CONADU HISTORICA, expressed a similar opinion. “In the current political context in which we find ourselves, we believe that discussing the educational financing law in a sense of shielding the right to education is very important,” she justified.
