The management of the enrollment of students in the educational centers of Torre-Pacheco continues to be a problem unresolved for years by the Administration.
In the current course the CEIP San Antonio de Torre-Pacheco has a registration of 69 students of 3 and 4 years, distributed as follows: 26 in a classroom of 3 years, 26 in a classroom of 4 years, 9 of 3 years and 9 of 4 years in a mixed classroom.
STERM INTERSINDICAL requires the Ministry of Education to comply with the current regulations that set the legal ratio of 25 students in a classroom for children and that DO NOT use the resource of mixed classrooms to chronicle the problem of overcrowding in schools.
The mixed classrooms were created for centers that are incomplete, that is, for those centers that do not have enough students to have a pure classroom and NOT for those that have enough students to have two classrooms of 3 years and two classrooms of 4 years .
We do not understand what criteria the Department has used to create this mixed classroom, but we are sure that it has not been a pedagogical criterion that serves to improve the quality of education.
In our visits to the center we find another serious problem.
For weeks, the Council has requested the need to incorporate an Educational Technical Assistant to attend a student with a report registered in this center.
However, neither the Ministry of Education nor the Ministry of Public Function on which the ATE depend, have offered a solution for this student and his family.
We demand that the Ministry stop imposing strictly economic criteria on the needs of students that end up generating the displacement of students to other centers instead of promoting inclusion and diversity in the classroom.
Nothing to do with the repeated mantra of freedom of choice of center that the Ministry likes to refer to.
