The authorities of the National Administration of Public Education (Anep) met this Monday at the Codicen headquarters with Teacher Training students to analyze the changes proposed by the government in the educational reform.

At the end of the meeting, Silva pointed out that he asked the student representatives “analyze” inside each group “occupancy measures” carried out in schools.
“We told them clearly, occupations violate the rights of workers and other students”he emphasized.
He also said that at the meeting he asked the representatives “no more vandalizing the facades”. “Hopefully there will be the corresponding reflectionSilva added.
On the other hand, the Anep authorities asked the students to explain what the arguments are for rejecting the educational reform. According to Silva, the response obtained was that “they should see it and analyze it.”
Regarding claims filed on the infrastructure of the centers, the president of Codicen assured: “Let us not be asked to solve in a few months what has not been attended to in many years. The deterioration of some institutions due to lack of maintenance does not come from March 2020″.
And he added that the administration is working at a “very good” pace to recover the buildings.
