The policy of arrogance in Education is followed by the Minister of Education, from the beginning of her term until today.
In the summer with a decision she appointed- without criteria-the Directors of Education P.E.. και Δ.Ε.
Just in May and in the midst of a storm of reactions and a pandemic, increased students per department from 22 in 25.
In the autumn, she decided - while she had just voted for the possibility of extending the term of the elected until 8 months, due to the pandemic-conducting elections by electronic voting. Only in education, since in the rest of the public sector the elected were extended and nowhere of course ,no elections were held by electronic voting. He was not at all discouraged by his huge abstention 95% and passed a regulation appointing her and the elected members. For the first time in the 100-year course of the institution.
It brings a bill (without any dialogue) in the midst of a pandemic, for the self-evaluation of the School Units.
Distance education (without any training) based on the respect and disposition of teachers, με ωράρια , programs and plan non-existent ( the new Undersecretary agreed that it is the same as lifelong teaching ).
The announcement for the provision of computers and tablets to students and teachers , stayed in the words…
Opening-closing of schools without a real plan, or for the health of teachers-students , or for education in general.
The Kindergartens and Primary Schools of the country (in this difficult time), θα έπρεπε να λειτουργούν: with double teacher recruitment, by ensuring adequacy in all the necessary means of personal health and protection, cleaning and disinfection of schools, according to the directions of E.O.D.Y.. and with repetitive and free Covid-19 tests.
Changes in education, to stand the test of time and not fall from government to government and from minister to minister (of the same government), broader consensus and convergence are needed. And this must be understood by all those involved in education .
Common denominator of all of them : No dialogue with teachers.
