SEVILLA, March 17 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The deputy spokesperson of the Adelante Andalucía group in Parliament and IU representative, Ana Naranjo, has claimed this Wednesday the Councilor for Education and Sports of the Board, Javier Imbroda (Cs), that in the educational planning process for the next academic year currently underway “respect the public school, stop mistreating it and for next year we can count on the same resources that we have this year.”
This was conveyed by Ana Naranjo in a press conference with Adelante’s parliamentary spokesperson and head of Institutional Policy of IU Andalucía, Inmaculada Nieto, in Parliament, in which she addressed the “educational lines planning process” of the Board for the next school year.
Adelante’s representative has asked the Minister of Education “not to close a single public line more”, and in this regard has warned that “in recent years we have lost more than 2,000 units of public school” in Andalusia.
Ana Naranjo has argued that “in this school year it is even more difficult to understand that we continue to close these educational units when we are going through a pandemic and we need to expand spaces so that our children can study with the appropriate security measures” to avoid Covid infections.
Along these lines, he stressed that “this course more than any other we have to keep public schools open”, and added that there are also “more funds than ever to maintain these educational spaces”, thanks to “those contributed by the Government of Spain for education “within the framework of the Covid Fund and” those that will arrive from the European Union. “
Adelante’s deputy has asked the Board to invest that money “to guarantee those public educational centers, and especially rural schools”, for which she has demanded a “specific bet” on the Andalusian Government, which she has also called upon to ” lower the ratio “and” keep the contracts you have with the Covid quotas. “
“We ask the counselor to commit to public education, to invest enough, to maintain the increase in staff, open public educational centers,” insisted Ana Naranjo before lamenting that Imbroda “is doing the opposite, dismantling public education” , and concluded by underlining that “education can never be profitable” and “is a right that citizens as a society have.”
CHAMBER OF ACCOUNTS
On the other hand, the spokesperson for the Adelante Andalucía parliamentary group, Inmaculada Nieto, referred to questions from journalists regarding the renewal of the presidency of the Chamber of Accounts, which this Thursday plans to hold a plenary session to elect the person who relieve Antonio López in that position.
The also person in charge of Institutional Policy of IU Andalucía has stressed that on the part of her group they want “the Chamber of Accounts to work, and all the steps that are taken to make that happen are welcome”, because the institution “cannot be blocked as it has been for the rights -in allusion to PP, Cs and Vox-, even causing its directors to breach the Statutes of the institution “, as he has continued.
Along these lines, Inmaculada Nieto has highlighted that the Accounts Chamber “has to issue reports that are important to oversee the proper use of public money by certain entities”, and “there is an action plan of that institution that must be updated, on which the auditors should be put to work. “
“What we want is that the reports that are already come to the Chamber so that they can be valued, that we can make a political and economic reading of them, and that those who have to leave in the future do so fluently,” he summarized the Adelante spokeswoman before concluding by insisting that “all the steps taken in this regard seem reasonable to us”, and considering “a shame” the “spectacle” given by other parties “during the last weeks” regarding the operation of the Chamber of Accounts.
