The Aragonese Employers of Private Infant Education centers 0-3 years, (Pacei) has warned this Thursday that it is evaluating for the start of course 2022/2022 leave the network of authorized centers given the “lack of support and regulation” of the sector. At this point they have added the “Unfair competitionl that the Department of Education itself exercises against these centers “.
For all this, from Pacei they have ensured that in the Community it is “untenable” maintain open a center for 0-3 years within the Aragonese education network and have justified this approach with eight compelling reasons.
In the first place, they have stated that to be a center for Early Childhood Education in Aragon, it is necessary to comply with the regional regulations established in the Order of August 25, 2005, of the Department of Education, “Being the same administration the one that does not comply with its own regulations in the opening of 2-year classrooms in schools”, have denounced. In addition, they have referred to Lomloe when it says that “centers that regularly receive boys and girls between the ages of zero and six during the school calendar must be authorized by the educational administrations as early childhood education centers” and have assured what “In Aragon more than 80 schools educate children 0-3 years without being authorized by Education.”
In this line, thirdly, they have warned that from Pacei Aragón they have denounced on several occasions before Education and the City Councils “The null, scarce and lack of will to regulate the illegal centers that roam freely in Aragon, offering and advertising schooling places from 0 to 3 years.”
In addition, Pacei has recalled that he has been claiming for a long time direct aid for families who enroll their children in centers approved and authorized by the Department to promote educational control “that is assumed by this government, receiving negative after negative ”. “Aragon is the only Autonomous Community where families bear 100% of the cost of the square”, have denounced.
They have also indicated that Courts of Aragon approved in 2020 an NLP to provide a budget for an economic item for aid to families who enroll their children in authorized centers, but the The Department of Education has ignored the plenary agreement in the Education committee”, They have lamented.
In sixth place, they have also criticized that the Private Education 0-3 years sector has been “Away” from the subsidy plans for economic sectors affected by Covid-19 and they have added below that There are now 33 schools with 2-year classrooms with a total of 600 places offered since the beginning of the “pilot” project for 2-year classrooms in schools. “They open classrooms without demand and without conditioning the facilities,” they have denounced.
Finally, they have warned that Education “cares little about the training of students in this higher degree” since these students, they say, according to the counseling can carry out the practices in “a toy library or in a ball center.” And they have added that they are subjected to “a strict control of ratios, periodic inspections of Health and Education, even higher cost in salaries, higher amortization cost of infrastructure and fierce unfair competition” so “It only has disadvantages to be within the network of Education centers.”
