translated from Spanish: “General Education Law in Michoacán, it is no albazo,” says Antonio Madriz

Morelia, Michoacán.- The chairman of the Board of Directors of the Local Congress, Antonio Madriz Estrada, assured that the General Law on Education for Michoacán, adopted today in meeting of the United Commissions, is not any political executor, nor was it done behind anyone, as referred to by voices belonging to the Labour Party, who have spoken out against the opinion.
It is worth remembering that at the meeting of the Education and Government Commissions, the petan legislators, Brenda Fabiola Fraga Gutiérrez and Teresa Mora Covarrubias, voted against the Law to which they themselves contributed, a position that Madriz Estrada described as purely political.
The president of the Committee on Education reported that the Act is harmonized with a national scheme named “Framework Law”, which at the state level included proposals made by Michoacan professors from a series of forums in the entity.
On the discussion with the PT Members at the virtual meeting, she detailed that her non-conformity is that the opinion does not provide for the obligation of initial education, but would come into force until the government coffers had the economic capacity to solve it.
Likewise, the PT’s complaint is the non-inclusion of guaranteed special, physical and artistic education in all schools, a proposal he mentioned, was not included because of economic deficiencies in the education sector.
“It’s not about wanting to operate a scheme that in the end cannot be applied. We must apply it according to the possibilities of the State.”
It will be tomorrow in extraordinary and face-to-face session, when the LXXIV Legislature voted the General Education Law for Michoacán.
