The National Union of Parents of Families and other civil organizations delivered in the Ministry of Public Education more than 27 thousand signatures of citizens to demand the federal government already this dependency stop what they described as “social experiments” with the education of their children.
The foregoing when considering that information is needed for citizens by the educational authorities Regarding the modifications to the 2022-2023 study plans, the contents of the textbooks, as well as the proposal
about changes in the educational system.
Outside the SEP headquarters, Aarón Lara, president of the Citizen Initiative, denounced that despite the fact that the Secretary of EducationDelfina Gómez and the head of Educational Materials, Marx Arriaga They announced the change in the educational model, no authority has listened to them and much less received to address your claim for information.
“They talk about gender ideology and how they intend to implement it but they have not given us a clear answer, they have not shown us materials, that is our complaint, how are we going to review or know what if there is no clear work plan and the teachers themselves do not know They have not received information from parents, except for the school year that begins on August 29. In less than a month they want to change education in Mexico, it seems extremely serious to us, that they clarify us, that they receive us, they do not want to receive us, not even to deliver a letter with 27 thousand signatures of support, ”he said.
The president of the citizen initiative added that the only thing they are aware of and that worries them are Marx Arriaga’s statements about the educational system as a “neoliberal modelmeritocratic, behaviorist, punitive, patriarchal, racist, competitive, Eurocentric, colonial, inhuman and classist”, because with this vision they intend to eliminate school grades, textbooks, standardized tests, replacing them with self-assessment, among other measures that They attack education in Mexico.
“There are children who went to class twice during the entire school year and what did the SEP do, make a decree by which all children will pass grade without taking an exam because another of Max Arriaga’s proposals is to eliminate standardized exams because he considers them class-oriented, so how are we going to assess whether a child knows or learned or not? The claim is absurd, but they don’t face us, they don’t answer us, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of documents demanding a response from the educational authority and we have not received a single response,” he pointed out.
Given this scenario, the activist pointed out that they launched a campaign on the CitizenGO platform to demand that the
Federal government to stop these educational experiments, which until today is supported by 27 thousand citizens.
