The Minister of Education, Marco Antonio Avilaconfirmed that a bill will be sent that will allow the completion of the Simce application in schools.
“It is not that we disagree a priori, necessarily, with the standardized evaluation, but rather what we have seen, according to the evidence, is that this standardized evaluation as it is designed today, with consequences, with that regularly, with this temporality, has not caused in any case the improvement of the quality of education, what it has allowed is to take information,” said the head of the Ministry of Education.
In this way, he added that the intention “in our bill is to be able to arrive at a model that allows us to say: yes, we want to measure learning, but we also want an on-site evaluation, more indicators of personal and social development. That is to say , a battery of tools that allows us to say what a good school is”.
In this regard, “we have to have a conversation with Minister Jackson and the entire legislative design of the entire government,” Ávila acknowledged.
To the above, he added that “we intend, together with the comprehensive sex education project, the project that improves the implementation of public education, to introduce a third project that would be to modify the quality assurance system. We believe that these three projects it is pertinent to present them in the year 2022 in the current legislation”.
