With regard to the case of the 6-year-old boy who was allegedly the victim of sexual abuse by higher-level students, the minister maintained that the MEC filed a lawsuit for the bad procedure of the educational institution
“We initiated a lawsuit, from the beginning the MEC provided support, it seemed like a joke, what happened is serious,” emphasized the head of the State portfolio.
Regarding what happened with the 6-year-old boy, he said that “it is a very strong blow for the whole of society and we make ourselves available to the parents. What is strange is that there is a protocol and they do not apply it, ”she stressed.
“Everything is really bad here, we are going to go to the last with this school. I want to ask parliamentarians to give more powers to the ministry, here we do not have the power to close schools, “continued the minister.

“It is a very painful moment for society, it hurts us a lot when there are protocols that are not applied,” he added.
