As a result of the various acts of violence that have occurred in the educational establishment in recent weeks, the Barrios Arana National Boarding School (INBA) decided to suspend its face-to-face classes for a month.
in conversation with TVN, the mayor of Santiago, Irací Hassler, indicated that the facts are “unfortunate” and that the situation must be addressed “in order to precisely guarantee the right to education for all people.”
“These are isolated acts of a very limited group of people, but unfortunately they affect the educational community,” he said. adding that Carabineros detained a person and “it has to continue when acts of violence occur. There are ongoing complaint and complaint processes, therefore we also expect results from the Prosecutor’s Office.”
“We are carrying out processes of internal regulation of school coexistence and we hope that in those cases that have been directly crimes we will also have the results of the pertinent organisms,” he declared.
“There are situations that have been dragging on for many years. It would be super simple to say ‘on such a day we are going to put an end to these situations. However, rather than trying to set a specific deadline, I want to say that we are advancing in processes in all areas to address both situations of violence as well as public order, the physical and psychological integrity of people,” the mayor concluded.
