The head of the Guanajuato Education Secretariat (SEG), Jorge Enrique Hernández Meza, reported that at the time 490 observations were sent regarding the free textbooks, however, most of them were not taken into account.
In light of this, he indicated that the law itself has empowered teachers to have the freedom to select their teaching tools, and that the SEG itself developed support booklets for the elementary subjects that they considered necessary to reinforce.
“We submitted 490 complaints in five categories, from spelling mistakes to texts that were incomprehensible for the grade they were referring to. We did not see any changes in any of them. We will continue to submit these documents to improve them.”
He explained that the state of Guanajuato printed with its own resources nearly a million support booklets in Spanish and mathematics, in addition to the history of Guanajuato organized and sequenced over the last 200 years with the prospective.
“These are the textbooks or booklets that have supplemented those that we consider to be very disorganized, especially in these two subjects that are relevant, and they continue to be provided from preschool to secondary school, throughout basic education.”
This happened after the official delivered 604,434 packages of school supplies to the elementary school student community in the state, as well as backpacks that were also delivered to 140,925 high school students.
Hernández Meza said that even though the SEG does not have enough money to buy the various materials that are required throughout the year, parents or guardians are not required to pay the fees that are sometimes required by the school administrators.
The position Guanajuato sent almost 500 observations of the textbooks, but they were ignored appeared first in Newsweek in Spanish.
