90% of the newly created items assigned by the Ministry of Education for this management have already been executed, which means that around 2,970 new teachers are already taking classes in the schools of the Plurinational Educational System.
“We are with more than 90% execution of the items. In the month of May we are going to cover 100%”, stated yesterday the Minister of Education, Édgar Pary Chambi.
In the present administration, the national government assigned 3,300 items to designate new teachers in educational units of the nine departments, as a result of an agreement signed with the Confederation of Urban Education Workers of Bolivia (Cteub) and the National Confederation of Education Teachers Rural Bolivia (Conmerb). In this way, according to the minister, the aim is to guarantee the normal development of educational activities.
He explained that the distribution is carried out in a coordinated manner with the departmental and district directors of each region. On the occasion, Pary repudiated the acts of violence reported in some educational units in La Paz, Santa Cruz and Chuquisaca.
He said that the Departmental Directorates of Education throughout the country were asked to report and follow up on the complaints, according to the “Protocol for prevention, action and complaint in cases of physical, psychological and sexual violence.”
“We have about three cases. But here it is not about quantity. Even if there is only one case, we want to set a precedent and ask the educational units and departmental directorates to proceed according to protocols for dealing with cases of violence”, he indicated.
