OPEN LETTER TO PARENTS ON FIXED MUNICIPALIZATION

OPEN LETTER TO PARENTS

Dear Parent


As you know, in the last two decades, the teachers and you are struggling against the privatization of education that was intended implement by targeting the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. As part of this policy, each year reduces the Education Budget and authorizing the operation of most private schools, indiscriminately.


Having failed to achieve its target of delivering all education to private hands today are turning to hand it over to the municipalities, as has happened in Florencia de Mora, following the Chilean experience, where over 60% of education is now in private hands, and that municipalities could not be charge because they were not given the necessary budget, as will happen here because this is the same model that is intended to apply.


As demonstrated, according to experiences in various Latin American countries like Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Nicaragua and Honduras, others instead of improving the quality of education, rather it has worsened since the true intentions of the neoliberal model, which is being replicated in our country are the responsibility of moving the educational expenditure incurred on the shoulders of parents.

In recent years, as a demonstration of this policy has lowered the budget for Education in 2010 to 2.7% of GDP, when the Education Act and the recommendations of UNESCO notes that it should not be less than 6% of GDP.


addition to the difficulties that will have the municipality to take charge of this service is as delicate as education, because the process of decentralization in our country is not true as the decisions on economic management is still done from Lima, the most serious aspect of this process is municipally will lead, sooner or later, the privatization of education, shifting responsibility for education spending parents.


As we call to defend together the public education quality to which our people have the right to change the taxes we pay and reject the Pilot Plan municipalization in our district.


together

We demand that the government complies with education grant no less than 6% of GDP, as recommended by UNESCO and as required General Law of Education.

CHILDREN ARE FIRST AND NO DEBT !
MUNICIPALIZATION NO A LA PRIVATISATION OF EDUCATION


your Teachers hij you
