“I do not understand what the controversy is: when we talk about the right to education, law does not distinguish strata, or places of origin,” he said.
The Actress Margarita Rosa de Francisco would have been beneficiary of a subsidy to study a postgraduate degree at the National Open University (UNAD), for allegedly belonging to stratum 3.
The Government defended this benefit granted to De Francisco and assured that the right to free education It is for everyone, no matter what stratum it is.

“I do not understand what the controversy is: when we talk about the right to education, law does not distinguish strata, or places of origin, or races, or anything like things, the right is for everyone. And when we talk about 97% of gratuity today in higher education it is to make free for everyone”He said.
When questioned by the fact that citizens know that the actress is not stratum 3, the minister replied: “It doesn’t matter, 97% and if we advance to 100 of gratuity, that covers from the stratum 1 or zero, to 5 or 6 or the one that exists”
The complaint about this subsidy was made by councilor Daniel Briceño, who said that Margarita Rosa de Francisco received a subsidy in the first semester of 2022 for allegedly belonging to stratum 3 while studying at UNAD. “Did you need that subsidy?” He asked.

Given this, De Francisco replied: “I just asked an authority of the UNAD what happened to the value of the registration in that period, because the last thing that would occur to me would be to claim a subsidy. As you say it well, I have enough purchasing power to pay for the value that corresponded to me. They still do not know how to respond to me.”
The actress said quE never requested or made the relevant efforts to be given the subsidy. “There were semesters in which I enrolled less credits and paid less. In others I paid more. I was so happy that if I had charged the triple I would have proudly paid it. I’m still finding out what happened,” he said.
Councilor Briceño also filed a guardianship that was failed in his favor, For the University to deliver information on how Margarita Rosa de Francisco financed her studies.
