teachers of special education Accompanied by relatives of people with disabilities, they carry out a “stoplight” to ask the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) not to exclude young people over 22 years of age from the Special Schools for Comprehensive Training.
Said claim of special education occurs in the framework of the teacher strike that takes place in CABA schools, which demand a salary increase and denounce mistreatment and adjustment in the branches of the education.
Through a statement, they explained that there are only two months left for the Minister of Education, Soledad Acuña, and the Buenos Aires Governor, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, to exclude a new group of young people with disabilities from the special educationwithout having a place to attend next year.
In addition, it was detailed that previously the schools Comprehensive Training Specials were up to 30 years old. Since March this year, all young people with disabilities over the age of 22 have been out of school.
The statement then states that from the Buenos Aires Government it is possible to see “A clear adjustment measure, which is complemented by the attempt to close the Special Education Schools, under the demagogic proposal of full inclusion.
Finally, it was reported that “The City Government, which in the story states that it wants to guarantee inclusion and the 192 days of classes, in fact, adjusts, excludes and discriminates against the most defenseless and most vulnerable population.”
Statements from a mother of a young man with autism
According to Eliana, mother of Ignacio, a young man with autism, the Government “offers two or three times a week 1 or 1:30 a.m. without pedagogical continuity, without transportation and without a dining room.
To this he added: “Now in December a lot of more kids graduate who are also going to be left out of the educational system, because everything they offer does not have pedagogical continuity, nor does it have to do with the permanent training of adults with disabilities and because the resolution says that the boys have to graduate to a superior project and that does not exist”.
