Councilwoman Municipal Socialist Group, Susana Hernandez, denounced Wednesday the "bleeding" cuts in Adult Education has conducted the Ministry of Education and the passivity of the mayor Ballesta and Councilman Rafael Gomez "before this attack public education and against the right to access it from Murcia and Murcia ".
The mayor, accompanied by the village headman of Cabezo de Torres and Guadalupe, Francisco Viudes and Sebastian Peñaranda, and the vice president of the Municipal Board Bacons Bridge, Lola Jara, has indicated that "at the beginning of the year was filtered and came into the hands of the educational community, a draft of the Ministry of Education in which a series of cuts in Adult Education in the municipality of Murcia is indicated. at that time, both the minister and the responsible councilor in the city of Murcia, is they rushed to deny that these cuts were to occur. "
Also, Hernandez recalled that the Municipal Socialist Group presented in March a motion to urge the Ministry to promote adult education and maintain both the supply and the location of the courses offered.
"At that time Councilman Rafael Gomez supported our motion ensuring that both the Department and the Ministry of Education worked on the proposal by the PSOE line," said the socialist councilor, who added that "the surprise comes when the end of July it is reported to the Centers for Adult Education that out is going to take cuts containing one draft earlier this year, at which point we went through internal communication to the council to demand explanations on what were the actions that it has carried out to prevent these cuts occur. "
"The PP has lied to us and lied to Murcia. For months this cut was brewing while denied it. And the worst thing is how little they care about public education and how little they care about the needs and the rights of their neighbors and neighbor ", lamented Susana Hernandez, who has listed deleted defined courses and trimming as an" act of discrimination ".
"At the Center for Adult Education Bacons Bridge have been eliminated five courses, which is a deletion of almost fifty percent of the delivered so far. In Espinardo have disappeared four courses that were being offered and Cabezo de Torres both. in Javalí Viejo have taken the only course they had, of basic skills. and in Guadalupe twenty students who were already enrolled to attend the course free trial of Secondary Education found that there is no longer such a course. How you can leave twenty people already registered classless and yes keep other classes where there are six or seven students? How can remove courses Spanish when a large number of foreign people at risk of social exclusion exists in our town they need to learn the language to better integrate and even get a job? Why the PP will have as much mania to public education available to everyone? "he said.
"The cuts do not respond to an economic but ideological issue. Proof of this is that, after eliminating courses teachers that taught remain in the centers but it did not have classes to teach assume administrative tasks. If we have classrooms and ? teachers, why are cutting courses the answer is clear: the PP wants to end public education, but we will have in front and we are not going to put anything easy, "added Hernandez.
The council has announced that both the Socialist Group and representatives of municipal boards affected, "come as far as necessary" and has demanded the Councillor for Education, explaining how many meetings had with the minister to stop the cuts, again, , directed and written many many public statements of support for Adult Education he has made.
"As the Councillor for Education has failed to defend the interests of Murcia and Murcia, we headed to Ballesta, who loves to pose for pictures, to propose that the next photo is next to the residents of the municipality defending Education Adult front of the regional government, "he concluded.
