The Minister of Education of the Nation, Jaime Perczyk, assured that “Making education a priority is a political decision” and argued that the state “It has the obligation to raise the ground to equal educational rights throughout Argentina.”
Perczyk participated in the Second Federal Teacher Training Board in which the strategic lines for the comprehensive reconfiguration of the training system in the post-pandemic context and taking into account the new pedagogical scenarios were analyzed.
“It is a responsibility of the State to take care of our girls, our boys and our teachers, because in schools there are students who know much less than they should know and that makes Argentina more unequal. It is in our hands that the girls and boys learn”Perczyk said.
In front of directors of higher education, jurisdictional references from all over the country and the central teams of INFoD, the head of the national educational portfolio maintained that “The State is the one that can do something to equalize and the equalization is up”.
“We have to raise the ground and the guarantees of educational rights that exist in Argentina and that requires a very large investment. Putting education as a priority is a political decision”he highlighted.
The opening was in charge of the Secretary of Education, Silvina Gvritz, and the two days of work were led by the executive director of the National Institute of Teacher Training (INFOD) Verónica Piovani; the national director of Institutional Strengthening, Viviana Alonso, and the national director of Research and Professional Development, Alejandra Benvenuto.
Gvirtz assured that “We believe that our teachers are excellent, very good, that they are very well trained. We value and believe in the work that is carried out in teacher training institutes and universities, and the starting point is the trust and capacity of teachers”.
“Improvement and updating processes are always needed, but the most important thing is to value what is done today, the work of each and every one of the teachers in every corner of the country”he highlighted.
For his part, Piovani expressed: “What interests us is to know what adjustments are necessary to train the teachers that our country needs. The important thing for us is to rebuild a training system that has the subjects and their practices as its driving force. Without recognition of the subjects there is no possible transformation”.
On this occasion, the guidelines of the National Permanent Training Program “Our School”, the Annual Education Plan and the strategic guidelines 2022-2027 were presented.
In this line, for the improvement of learning and federally agreed topics, the national proposals for permanent training were addressed: academic updates, training paths, courses and training sections.
