The Province of Buenos Aires has the largest educational system in Argentina.
nearly five million students, two hundred fifty thousand teachers, more than seventeen thousand public and private educational institutions of all levels and modalities, a high percentage (over 35% of Provincial Budget.
has been the testing ground of educational fads of the last fifty years longer among the teachers coexist latest generation of graduates of impoverished Teacher Training Colleges of the last remnants of what came to be called the "master normal." In between, the graduates of the dictatorship Ongania democratic recovery of 73 of the last military dictatorship and restored democracy times including times of Alfonsin, Menem, De la Rua, Duhalde, Kirchner and Fernandez of Kirchner. The Bible and the water heater, would Discépolo. This province was chosen as educational journey to overcome these trends to which we referred, the very bad practice to sweep under the rug the problems that can add up.
For example, these buttons:
• Barrier under the carpet the burden of the deficit which caused the transfer of educational services to the Nation State: ANNUAL TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS (THE ONE ON ONE) FROM 1994 TO NOW: THAT THROWS A BUDGET DEFICIT OF ACCUMULATED ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL A VALUES 2010, MORE WEIGHT LESS WEIGHT.
• swept under the carpet square meters of construction unnecessarily made to implement the third cycle of EGB ex pretext of teaching content, teaching English and computers and other herbs, in many cases now idle.
• swept under the rug historical wage deterioration of teachers and auxiliary estimates for the first time the Menem deserter in no less than 70%.
• declamatory swept under the carpet of inclusion and integration and impairment discrimination in the learning of pupils from the poorest social sectors.
• swept under the rug of almost automatic promotion failure to include the challenge of ensuring quality learning and significant from a social, cultural, civic and labor.
• swept under the rug of "three counts" the meager pay teacher salaries.
is why in our opinion, the first challenge for the education of the Province Buenos Aires is DISCONTINUE swept under the carpet. To do this you must agree with all education stakeholders Aires (Teachers, Unions, Political Parties, Social Sectors), an agenda that includes:
1. Gradual recovery over the next five years of that phenomenal deficit noted above, either with revenue sharing, is recovering real income for education.
2. TEN YEARS MINIMUM Commit by not changing the academic structure of the system and at the same time generating new institutional modes of education to recover those who are outside the system.
3. Sincere teacher statutory regulations in order to generate a joint session between the current and forthcoming legislation, which must not alter or review the situation and the licensing regime. Must however, to ensure full-time at a facility and pay wages according to the task develops.
4. Review the impact of educational fads-layered geological layers in the institutional life of schools and the activity of each teacher, so as to ensure the diversity of approaches as to ensure meaningful learning in social, cultural, civic and labor.
5. Lost in each school the idea that knowledge is an obstacle for each of us and will fail You can play the range.
For all this, without commitment from all parties and their candidates, all the guilds and their leaders and each father and mother in the province of Buenos Aires who is willing to wait as long as necessary and monitor any changes that generate will be impossible not to sweep under the carpet. No state policy in education, this challenge can not cope.
