The president of the Metropolitan School, Mario Aguilar, recalled that as a Guild, we have been denouncing the issues of violence and school coexistence for some time now and asking for concrete solutions, since it has been escalating, strong measures must be taken and this problem must be assumed as the main one, This cannot continue, because the next step will be that there is a deceased person, we cannot reach that point for measures to be taken.”
The union leader called on Mineduc and directly on Minister Cataldo that “the issue of violence be considered as a first priority and does not imply, as stated in the response to the Union’s Petition, that a communication campaign was going to be carried out as a solution, this “This issue must be addressed very seriously, with depth and urgency.”
Likewise, Mario Aguilar, demanded that the Municipality of San Ramón, as supporter of the College, “take charge of the legal defense and judicial prosecution of this case, because it cannot go unpunished, here there are legal obligations and responsibilities on the part of the of the supporter, which until now have not been made effective.”
The Metropolitan President denounced that “both the attacked teacher and his family still do not have information regarding the Municipality having taken charge of the demand, of legal assistance. The teacher is quite abandoned, he has only had the support of his school community.
“That cannot be, employers have responsibility, as does Mineduc and the State of Chile, precisely so that these situations do not go unpunished and the very serious problems of mental health, coexistence and violence that exist in educational communities begin to be resolved. I demand that Minister Cataldo and the Mayor of San Ramón give priority to the case of Professor Miño” concluded Mario Aguilar.
