The College of Teachers did not rule out a strike after the increase in acts of violence recorded within the National Institute and other establishments in the Metropolitan region. During the anniversary of the emblematic campus, the agency requested decisions to avoid these events in the school community.
The president of the Metropolitan Region of Teachers, Mario Aguilar, maintained that “the teachers have given everything, they have addressed all the pedagogical strategies, but it is not enough if there is no real support from the authorities, if there is no attention to the serious problems that are experienced, some of them that drag on for decades”.
“If you don’t go from rhetoric to concrete action with a real solution, if criminal acts as such are not addressed, this will not be resolved and, on the contrary, it will continue to worsen,” he added.
The president of the Union Council of the Teaching Staff of the National Institute, José Vega Castro, explained what they are doing as a community to combat the crisis of school coexistence, which has not yielded positive results.
“Two months ago we met with the Undersecretary of Education, but we have not had an immediate response to our requirements and demands, we asked Mayor Irací Hassler the same to find a solution to what we face every day,” he said.
Likewise, he warned that as a community they are “on alert for possible violent acts or events that may continue to develop in the coming days. We have returned to classes, some face-to-face and others online, we do everything possible to return to normality. But We do not rule out going on strike”.
