translated from Spanish: Cubillos: “They are all the conditions for teachers to return to classes”

This Saturday, the Minister of Education, Marcela Cubillos, insisted that there are no sustainable arguments for reaching a fifth week of unemployment of the College of Teachers. The Secretary of State commented on her position in the face of mobilizing an activity for the award of projects belonging to the Open Schools Fund. Less than 24 hours from the meeting with the College of Teachers, the head of Education said this morning that “all conditions are in place for all schools in Chile to return to school”. “When a paralysis is made that from the beginning is raised as indefinite, the one who is most harmed is the children of public education. And it creates a very difficult gap and inequality to go back. Because here, almost 100% of the subsidized private schools have not gone unemployed and of course private schools do not miss a single school day,” Cubillos said. The minister took the opportunity to make a call to the College of Teachers to lay down unemployment. “You can’t from the scoop of defending public education leave public education children out of classes. But what is being done is increasing an already very large inequality that exists in Chile, between children who go to public education and those who go to private education,” he concluded.
