Madrileños we woke up this week with another pump much news to which we are accustomed to the leader of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, related to the particular interpretation on public services is the regional government of the popular party, and more specifically in the field of education.
Specifically, the right-wing government in Madrid, surprised us all with the news that will create a school and a school "of excellence" for the best and brightest students from all over Madrid, that, as a reward, they can go to this special school to pursue their studies last year of high school. In this article, many people, obviously the party of elitism in education, are a form of "compensation" to the "good students" who, thus, receive their reward for good grades. This will generate the creation of a special institute, segregated from the rest, segregating these "star students" from other students and special teachers specifically dedicated to these students and their special skills.
striking, without addressing the appropriateness of this measure, as the regional government may well take time, resources, teachers and money to public education when and how interested you are interested. It's really striking, while other institutes and students not as "excellent" rot, literally, nauseated and unattended in the community in other classrooms in Madrid. Imagine that, not being great and not politicians, businessmen and bankers of tomorrow hoping to form in its centers of excellence, these students do not deserve second so hard and such deployment of resources and attention that the regional government if it offers these students.
This obviously does not make a call to abandon and ignore students for their efforts have achieved good grades and good schools. No doubt this effort will be rewarded, but should not be underestimated and the expense of leaving his fate to other students, most of the classrooms in Madrid that have not featured much, apparently, not worthy in the eyes of many media right-wing government in Madrid.
In Madrid, the public education urgently needs lots of attention and a lot of institutional support that the government of the community are not paying because, apparently, is more intent on preparing students who they care .
Beginning teachers themselves, more and more precarious, since the opponents and acting are openly scorned and abused by this incompetent, right-wing regional government has decided that, apparently, to call primary and secondary school places sufficient and consistent with the real needs of our schools should not be a priority for this government that, today, in early April and in the absence of two months for primary opposition, has not yet organized opposition and the role we have no certainty that it will convene, except pay lip service promises they have made since the community (to rely on the promises of Aguirre) and that in any case will be less than half of more than 2000 seats that was agreed to convene and, of course, correspond not to a whim of teachers and their unions if not a real need for public institutions to be filled Madrid replacement rates, which, again, apparently the field of education must be a priority for Aguirre, not the private and increasingly have concluded that more licenses and the conduct of this government and various community councils.
In all other aspects of public education in Madrid, the thing must not go much better.
On this aspect and one example one area of \u200b\u200bMadrid, the north, to illustrate the extent to which we are subject precarious that bet as well that, somehow, Madrid integrate public education.
In this sense, we can not remain inert before the transfer increased more outrageous and public land in cities like Alcobendas and San Sebastian de los Reyes private schools, which is becoming more and more evident and in this way, not just the Trinity College of Sanse which was the latest novelty, if not the complete privatization of educational services in a part of Alcobendas (the Moral especially) makes this town one of the more elitist with more public land to privatized education throughout the north of Madrid, and therefore less accessible to the vast majority of residents of Alcobendas and Sans, of course, are not far from the applicants majority of these private businesses . Also in the north, in Tres Cantos, the high number of private schools elitist (King's College, Pinosierra) to the detriment of the public institutes (whose number is going to be apparently reduced by the elimination of a public school and the negative government, the PP of course, to build a new public institute) is notorious and manifest. In the south of Madrid, Alcorcon, for example, a few months ago we learned of public land transfer to a school council whose purpose is sectarian, inter alia, segregation of the sexes, something that threatens not only against the LOE if not the equal most fundamental human rights. But it is clear that Aguirre's friends, the law does not count. Tell that to the Gurtel and company.
By contrast, the other side of the coin, is the stagnation in the construction of centers of public education in the north (6 ° HEI Alcobendas, CEIP in Dehesa Vieja, nursery schools, Pavilions Sports, CEIP Antonio Buero Vallejo, etc ...) that are stalled, while watching with amazement as the day provides new businesses, new educational enterprises, new private schools (and even subsidized) and soil are licensed to build mass public and elite private schools in our villages without any problem and without suffering the obstacles put in building schools public.
also public education in this area, for instance, suffers from insecurity as supplemental education services. Some of these cases are those of the Compensation Classrooms Education (ACES) moved to Colmenar Viejo (A 30 KM.), "When 70% of students belonged to Alcobendas-sans-the rate hikes in schools official language, elimination of scholarships and school material cuts should be free lessons cuts ESO, Bachillerato, Range and Training, the abolition of the French language section of the IES Severo Ochoa, and constant cuts faculty in schools of public education of our people.
addition, the status of public school teachers, including interns, is increasingly precarious and responds to the interests of right-wing government in Madrid to stifle increasingly public. Thus, we must mention the brutal cut in squares teachers of public education, so there are fewer places and a lot more competition between people. In addition, the suspension of interim improvements to the summer vacation pay, the suspension of early retirement incentives, budget reduction or teacher training, so that it is much less and worse educated than before, with objective, as stated earlier, precarious public education to the fullest.
This is also already denounced in his day, with the massive reduction in support and training centers for teachers (CAP) throughout the community of Madrid, so as to reduce the number of territorial management areas only (north, south, east, west and center) but previously had a greater number and more accessible to a greater number of teachers throughout the community.
As we see the insecurity on the faculty has been, and is also one of the major objectives of the PP government.
Segregation of students in separate centers of excellence (that lead as in the public university in Bologna to centers of first and second centers, where they will be less bright students stack or problems learning), grants to private, public abandonment, insecurity of teachers opponent, interim and head ... are just some examples of what they understand capitalism and public education. It's certainly not the same as what he understands the working class that bet, definitely a quality public education.
strongly denounce attempts by various governments and political parties, especially the right-wing government in Madrid, the precarious and the elimination of public education and we are committed to continue fighting at the grassroots level in schools, colleges, APAS , platforms, trade unions and collective stop them feet to the capitalists and fight once and for all by a decent education for the future.
