TOGETHER IN DEFENSE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
Public Info Press
The policies of cuts in public services, particularly education, undertaken by the regional governments and the state, are being reported by families, students and education workers.
Organizations from all sectors of the educational community committed to the defense of public education, we are promoting outright rejection actions to those cuts.
The latest measures in education, announced under euphemisms such as collective optimization or adjustment of ratios, do not pursue anything other than the drastic reduction of the staffing arrangements and overcrowding of classrooms.
The reality of the cuts is that tens of thousands of teachers will lose their jobs in the coming months.
It attacks the dignity of professional education, deteriorating working conditions, are penalized sick leave and social benefits are eliminated.
Budget cuts create huge problems in public education by reducing the resources allocated to them.
Are left without addressing the needs of families, reducing programs for diversity, increase university fees ...
None of these measures will improve the situation of public schools or to prevent or reduce school drop-out rates early.
Quite the contrary, are intended to restrict the right of everyone to education and impair the quality of it, with the deliberate intention of promoting the privatization of this essential service.
Today more than ever the model of quality public education, a school for all and for all, is at serious risk.
Faced with a model that ensures equal access to the universal right to education, promoting an education class model, based on selection criteria and elitism, which excludes the most disadvantaged social groups.
With the policy of not seeking cuts the general good of society, but the benefit of a few.
Use the crisis as a pretext to impose a policy to serve the markets and corporations, which seeks to dismantle the gains of social rights and the welfare state.
PUBLIC EDUCATION WE want to contribute to the mobilization unit to stop this brutal attack on public schools.
