For its part, the assembly of the Montevideo teachers’ union (ADES) resolved a 24-hour strike with a possible occupation of some high schools. For its part, the Federation of Secondary Education Teachers (Fenapes) resolved by majority this Sunday not to join the measure ordered by their colleagues in the capital.
According to what has been reported for months, the forceful measures are due to the fact that the organizations and also some teachers and directors reject the application of the educational reform in which the new Integrated Basic Education (EBI) plan will be implemented.
For the ANEP, the objective is “to make teaching more flexible so that education is more inclusive and centralized in the learning rhythm of each student”, where the change of focus intends that the school years do not work in a compartmentalized way, but that the subjects and teachers cooperate with each other for the benefit of the student – who will no longer complete years, but “cycles” and “sections”.
Silva, assured that the high schools will be open, and tweeted in his official account that “This time hope will win over the fear that some intend to sow to stop any educational change! Thanks to the teachers who attend and thus do not break the illusion of the 1st day of classes for thousands of students. All public high schools in Montevideo will be open.
