Argentina: Mantendrán el reclamo para que no descuenten los días de paro

Argentina/Abril de 2017/Fuente: Río Negro

La titular de la Unter, Patricia Cetera, aseguró que la demanda por el no descuento de los días de paro seguirá en pie, debido a que las medidas “no fueron declaradas ilegales ni a nivel nacional ni en Río Negro”. Consideró que “no hay motivos para que nos descuenten” y agregó que hasta ahora “la ministra [de Educación, Mónica Silva] tuvo bastante apertura al respecto”.

“Los paros fueron determinados por la Confederación de Trabajadores de la Educación de la República Argentina (Ctera), y nosotros como entidad de base los llevamos adelante”, recordó Cetera. Reiteró que “no fueron declarados ilegales en el Ministerio de Trabajo de la Nación, ni rechazados por la Secretaría de Trabajo de la Provincia. Es decir que hay un respeto por cómo se llevaron adelante”.

Colombia necesita nuevas universidades públicas de calidad

Colombia/Abril de 2017/Fuente: El Espectador

El programa ser pilo paga surgió en 2014 con el fin de beneficiar a los jóvenes de estratos 1 y 2 del Sisben. Anualmente han sido favorecidos alrededor de 40.0000 estudiantes que han ingresado universidades públicas y privadas con la garantía de que el gobierno cubrirá la totalidad de la matrícula. Desde el primer año de la implementación del programa Ser Pilo Paga, varias han sido las críticas que estudiantes y expertos han hecho a la iniciativa.

Por cada estudiante que entra al programa, el gobierno colombiano realiza una inversión anual de $ 3 billones de pesos (Lea: ¿Vale la pena el esfuerzo del Estado para financiar Ser Pilo Paga?). Es por este motivo que varios críticos han expresado que el programa Ser Pilo Paga no garantiza el derecho a la educación superior ya que no todos los jóvenes logran ingresar a la universidad. Lo anterior debido a que el 98% del dinero destinado al programa ser pilo paga está destinado a universidades privadas.

El presidente Juan Manuel Santos presentó un proyecto de ley para que el programa ser pilo paga se convierta en una política de estado. Carlos Caicedo, magister en Dirección Universitaria de la Universidad de los Andes expresó que “Ese modelo de financiación profundiza la desigualdad en el país, pues con los mismos recursos que se paga el estudio a 40.000 beneficiarios de Ser Pilo Paga se hubiera podido pagar la educación de 200.000 estudiantes en universidades públicas de calidad”.

Varios expertos han sugerido que, para aumentar la cobertura en el sistema educativo, se debe fortalecer la educación pública en el país. Precisamente, Caicedo expresó que “Ser Pilo paga es un lucrativo negocio que legitima la exclusión universitaria de los más pobres del país. Si las universidades privadas tienen algún sentido de responsabilidad social deben ser ellas las que financien el programa Ser Pilo Paga y dejar quitarles ese dinero a las universidades públicas”.

De acuerdo con el Ministerio de educación, Ser pilo paga ha beneficiado a 30.500 jóvenes de escasos recursos que provienen de 984 municipios. El 82% de los pilos están estudiando en universidades privadas y el 18% restante en públicas.

Estados Unidos: Protesters would like to keep education funds local

Estados Unidos/Abril de 2017/Fuente: Times Bulletin

Resumen: Más de una docena de manifestantes pacíficos del noroeste de Ohio se reunieron en el estacionamiento de la Escuela Intermedia Van Wert antes de la llegada de la secretaria de Educación de Estados Unidos Betsy DeVos el jueves por la mañana. El grupo incluía miembros del Partido Demócrata del Condado de Van Wert y del Distrito 5 Indivisible de Ohio y otras entidades de base anti-Trump. Sus signos apoyaron la educación pública y denunciaron los recientes recortes de financiamiento al sector público y los aumentos a la elección de escuelas o escuelas privadas.
«Casi todos los estudiantes en el condado Van Wert asisten a la escuela pública», dijo el manifestante Gay Garman. «Cuando se quitan los fondos de las escuelas públicas y se dan a las escuelas privadas, los ricos se hacen más ricos y los pobres se hacen más pobres. Una vez más, las personas pequeñas están recibiendo el eje y el 1 por ciento se están beneficiando «. El nuevo presupuesto de la administración Trump lanzado a mediados de marzo reduce drásticamente el financiamiento para el Departamento de Educación en un 13.5 por ciento, o $ 9.2 mil millones. Bajo el nuevo presupuesto, la administración Trump quiere gastar 1.400 millones de dólares para expandir vales en escuelas públicas y privadas, lo que conduce a un financiamiento de 20.000 millones de dólares al año. Alrededor de $ 250 millones de estos fondos se destinarán a un programa de elección de escuelas privadas, mientras que $ 168 millones serán reservados para escuelas charter. Un adicional de mil millones de dólares se destinaría al título I, un programa para estudiantes desfavorecidos, cuya estructura actual se opone a muchos legisladores.

More than a dozen peaceful protesters from northwest Ohio gathered in the parking lot at Van Wert Middle School prior to United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’s arrival Thursday morning. The group included members of the Van Wert County Democratic Party and Ohio Indivisible District 5 and other grassroots anti-Trump entitities.

Their signs supported public education and denounced recent funding cuts to the public sector and increases to school choice or private schools.

“Nearly all students in Van Wert County attend public school,” protester Gay Garman said. “When they take away funding from public schools and give it to the private schools, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Again, the small people are getting the shaft and the 1 percent are benefiting.”

The Trump administration’s new budget released in mid-March slashes funding for the Education Department by 13.5 percent, or $9.2 billion. Under the new budget, the Trump administration wants to spend $1.4 billion to expand vouchers in public and private schools, leading up to an eventual $20 billion a year in funding. About $250 million of these funds will go toward a private school-choice program, while $168 million will be set aside for charter schools. An additional $1 billion would go toward Title I, a program for disadvantaged students whose current structure is opposed by many lawmakers.

Trump’s budget plan would remove $2.4 billion in grants for teacher training and $1.2 billion in funding for summer- and after-school programs.

The protesters came from Van Wert, Wood, Mercer and Hancock counties with representation from bigger and smaller municipalities.

Van Wert resident Dan Miller would have liked to share his views with DeVos.

“I would tell Betsy that Ohio has been a petri dish for school choice policy and it hasn’t gone nearly as well as planned or they would have you believe it is going. She just needs to look at the facts,” Miller said. “There aren’t even any private schools in Van Wert County so our money that is diverted to school choice is going out of the county and even the state. We need our money to go to our schools for our students.”

Public schools are held to rigorous state standards and testing. The group cited accountability and oversight as problems with School Choice.

“Private schools schools are not assessed or held accountable like the public schools are,” Miller added. “Her solution to the education issue is more for urban areas, not rural Ohio. Our public schools are the heart or our communities. They bring everyone together for events and activities.”

The protest also became a teaching moment for students in Jeff Kallas’s government/current events class. Student Nathan Murphy agreed with some of what DeVos has been saying about public education.

“If a public school is failing, a student should have the right to go to a better school,” Murphy said. “However, if a school is doing well and is successful and shows it is providing a good education, the money shouldn’t be taken away.”

Murphy was glad DeVos was visiting his school and seeing public education firsthand.

“I think DeVos needs to educate herself on what public schools do and provide for their students and community and she seems to lack knowledge on a lot of the laws governing public education,” Murphy said. “Hopefully she’ll learn something here today, too.”

Sudáfrica: Racism, anti-ANC bias at public schools not the norm – education dept

Sudáfrica/Abril de 2017/Fuente: News 24

RESUMEN: El Departamento de Educación Básica dice que cualquier episodio racial o políticamente sesgado en escuelas públicas y en escuelas modelo C son incidentes aislados, y no como resultado del plan de estudios. El departamento emitió una declaración el martes que parecía contradecir las afirmaciones de Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, candidato presidencial del ANC, de que los estudiantes en las escuelas modelo C anteriores eran «enseñados contra el ANC». La declaración se basó en un informe del equipo de trabajo entregado a la Ministra de Educación Básica Angie Motshekga este mes, que ha estado evaluando libros de texto y otros materiales de aprendizaje desde febrero.

The Department of Basic Education says any racially or politically biased episodes at public and former model C schools are isolated incidents, and not as a result of the curriculum.

The department released a statement on Tuesday which appeared to contradict ANC presidential hopeful Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma’s assertions that learners at former model C schools were «taught against the ANC».

The statement was based on a task team report handed to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga this month, which has been evaluating textbooks and other learning materials since February.

«While the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) clearly outline what should be taught in schools, some teachers have, however, been found to have overstepped the boundaries,» spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said.

«Where such incidents had taken place, such as teachers using racial slurs on others, swift action had been taken against the implicated teachers, he said.

«It must be stressed that, where such isolated incidents have taken place, these do not arise as a result of a defined norm or practice of a particular school, nor a dictate from the CAPS.»

It is, rather, individual teachers who tended to do so, the statement added. Motshekga would receive the full report at the end of the year.

Mhlanga stressed that CAPS was based on the principles of social transformation, equal educational opportunities, and ensuring the ills of apartheid were addressed.

DA MP Gavin Davies welcomed Motshekga’s statement on Wednesday, and claimed it was a clear sign that the minister disagreed with Dlamini-Zuma.

«[Motshekga’s statement] is a polite way of saying that Dlamini-Zuma was talking rubbish,» he said on Wednesday.

«If learners believe that the ANC is corrupt, it is not because of an anti-ANC propaganda campaign being waged in public schools. It is because evidence of ANC corruption is all around us.»

‘Kids taught at schools that ANC is corrupt’

On Thursday, Dlamini-Zuma raised concerns over what she termed a negative narrative against the governing party, saying it was perpetuated at schools and universities.

«They [kids] are actually taught against the ANC,» Dlamini-Zuma said in Zamdela in the Free State.

«It’s not surprising that kids will think the ANC is corrupt‚ [or that the] ANC is useless, because this is what they are fed at school.»

She alleged that some universities, such as the University of the Witwatersrand, refused to allow their students to call South Africa a democracy.

She claimed most schools would only say there is democracy and freedom in South Africa once another party took over.

ANC members needed to constantly be aware of the balance of power, and could not allow a leadership vacuum to form in the party and in government.

«We must be honest when we analyse what’s going on. We can’t not admit that the organisation is weak at this point in time,» she said.

Once we are weak and once we are divided, we cannot mobilise and unite society, she added.

No Brasil, um em cada dez alunos de 15 anos é vítima de bullying

Brasil/Abril de 2017/Fuente: Veja

Resumen: En Brasil, aproximadamente uno de cada diez estudiantes de 15 años es a menudo víctima de acoso en las escuelas. Son adolescentes que sufren la agresión física o psicológica, que son objeto de burlas y chismes maliciosos, deliberadamente excluidos por sus compañeros, que no son llamados para fiestas o reuniones. La figura es parte del tercer volumen del Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Estudiantes (PISA) en 2015, dedicada al bienestar de los estudiantes. El informe, elaborado por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE), con la participación de 540.000 estudiantes de 15 años, mediante muestreo, que representa a 29 millones de estudiantes en 72 países. Hay 35 países miembros de la OCDE y 37 economías asociadas, incluyendo Brasil. Sobre la base de los informes de los estudiantes, el estudio clasificó 9% de los jóvenes de 15 años en el país como víctimas frecuentes de acoso, o están en la parte superior de la ventana de la agresión y más expuestos a esta situación. En comparación con los demás países evaluados, sin embargo, Brasil aparece con uno de los más pequeños «índices de exposición intimidación.»

No Brasil, aproximadamente um em cada dez estudantes de 15 anos é vítima frequente de bullying nas escolas. São adolescentes que sofrem agressões físicas ou psicológicas, que são alvo de piadas e boatos maldosos, excluídos propositalmente pelos colegas, que não são chamados para festas ou reuniões. O dado faz parte do terceiro volume do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa) 2015, dedicado ao bem-estar dos estudantes.

O relatório, feito pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), contou com a participação de 540.000 estudantes de 15 anos que, por amostragem, representam 29 milhões de alunos de 72 países. São 35 países-membros da OCDE e 37 economias parceiras, entre elas o Brasil. Com base nos relatos dos estudantes, o estudo classificou 9% dos jovens de 15 anos do país como vítimas frequentes de bullying, ou seja, estão no topo do indicador de agressões e mais expostos a essa situação. Em comparação com os demais países avaliados, contudo, o Brasil aparece com um dos menores “índices de exposição ao bullying”.

Segundo os dados, 17,5% dos jovens brasileiros de 15 anos disseram sofrer alguma das formas de bullying “algumas vezes por mês”; 7,8% disseram ser excluídos pelos colegas; 9,3%, ser alvo de piadas; 4,1%, serem ameaçados; 3,2%, empurrados e agredidos fisicamente. Outros 5,3% disseram que os colegas frequentemente pegam e destroem as coisas deles e 7,9% são alvo de rumores maldosos.

Em um ranking de 53 países com os dados disponíveis a respeito de bullying, o Brasil está em 43º. Em média, nos países da OCDE, 18,7% dos estudantes relataram ser vítimas de algum tipo da agressão mais de uma vez por mês e 8,9% foram classificados como vítimas frequentes.

“O bullying tem sérias consequências tanto para o agressor quanto para a vítima. Tanto aqueles que praticam o bullying quanto as vítimas são mais propensos a faltar às aulas, abandonar os estudos e ter piores desempenhos acadêmicos que aqueles que não têm relações conflituosas com os colegas”, diz o estudo, que acrescenta que nesses adolescentes estão também mais presentes sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, baixa autoestima e perda de interesse por qualquer atividade.

Satisfação e pertencimento

O levantamento mostra que os estudantes brasileiros estão acima da média no quesito satisfação com a vida: 44,6% dizem que estão muito satisfeitos, enquanto a média dos países da OCDE é 34,1%. Na outra ponta, tanto no Brasil quanto na média dos países da OCDE, 11,8% dizem que não estão satisfeitos com a vida.

No Brasil, 76,1% sentem que pertencem à escola. Entre os países da OCDE, 73% dos adolescentes dizem ter esse sentimento de pertencimento.

Quase todos os estudantes brasileiros (96,7%) querem ser escolhidos para as melhores oportunidades disponíveis quando graduarem e 63,9% querem estar entre os melhores estudantes da classe. Entre os países da OCDE, esses percentuais são, respectivamente, 92,7% e 59,2%.

O Brasil, no entanto, aparece quase no topo entre os países com estudantes mais ansiosos — 80,8% ficam muito ansiosos mesmo quando estão bem preparados para provas. A média da OCDE é 55,5%. O país é superado apenas pela Costa Rica, onde 81,2% dos estudantes relataram ansiedade nesses casos. Mais da metade dos brasileiros, 56%, disseram que ficam tensos ao estudar. A média da OCDE é 36,6%.

“Esses resultados sugerem a necessidade de relações mais fortes entre escolas e pais para que os adolescentes tenham o apoio de que necessitam, acadêmica e psicologicamente. Essa aproximação poderia contribuir muito para o bem-estar de todos os alunos”, diz o relatório.

Pais e professores

O levantamento mostrou ainda que pais e professores têm papel importante no bem-estar dos estudantes. Estudantes que têm pais interessados nas atividades escolares são 2,5 vezes mais propensos a estar entre as notas mais altas da escola e 1,9 vezes a estar muito satisfeitos com a vida. Com o apoio dos pais e responsáveis, os estudantes também têm duas vezes menos chance de se sentir sozinhos na escola e são 3,4 vezes menos propensos a estar insatisfeitos com a vida.

A participação dos professores também é importante. Estudantes que recebem apoio e suporte dos professores em sala de aula são 1,9 vezes mais propensos a sentir que pertencem à escola do que aqueles que não têm esse apoio. Aqueles que percebem que os professores são injustos com eles têm 1,8 vezes mais chance de se sentir excluídos na escola.

De acordo com o relatório, grande parte dos estudantes tem a sensação de que é injustiçada pelos professores. Em média, nos países da OCDE, 35% dos alunos relataram que sentem, pelo menos algumas vezes por mês, que seus professores pedem menos deles que dos outros estudantes; 21% acham que seus professores os julgam menos inteligentes do que são; 10% relataram que os professores os ridicularizam na frente dos outros; e 9%, que seus professores chegaram a insultá-los na frente dos demais.

Bem-estar dos estudantes

Esta é a primeira vez que o Pisa divulga dados da performance dos estudantes que dizem respeito à relação deles com os professores, à vida em casa e a como gastam o tempo fora da escola. Aplicado pela OCDE, o Pisa testa os conhecimentos de matemática, leitura e ciências de estudantes de 15 anos de idade. Em 2015, o foco foi em ciências, que concentrou o maior número de questões da avaliação.

Greece’s refugee children learn the hard way

Grecia/Abril de 2017/Autor: /Fuente: BBC News

RESUMEN: El primer día de escuela. Se suponía que sería un momento emocionante y feliz para tantos de los 2.500 niños refugiados que ahora viven en campamentos en Grecia. Pero en cambio, algunos se encontraron con eslóganes lanzadores de piedras y nacionalistas, después de que manifestantes de extrema derecha se opusieron a la política del gobierno de integrarlos. Afortunadamente para Moustafa, de 10 años, su escuela designada en Tesalónica no vio ninguna protesta. Y a pesar de vivir en un contenedor de metal conocido como isobox, los últimos meses han traído una forma de estructura a su vida. Pasó un año huyendo de la guerra y temiendo por su vida, pero ahora tiene un horario. Todas las tardes aborda un entrenador organizado por la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) que lo lleva al centro de la ciudad para la escuela. Es uno de los 60.000 refugiados y migrantes atrapados en Grecia desde que la reubicación a países europeos se estancó y se cerraron las fronteras.

The first day of school. It was supposed to be an exciting, happy time for so many of the 2,500 refugee children now living in camps in Greece.

But instead some were met with stone-throwing and nationalist slogans, after far-right demonstrators took issue with the government’s policy to integrate them.

Fortunately for 10-year-old Moustafa, his appointed school in Thessaloniki saw no protests. And despite living in a metal container known as an isobox, the past few months have brought a form of structure to his life.

He spent a year fleeing war and fearing for his life, but now he has a schedule.

Every afternoon he boards a coach organised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) that takes him to the city centre for school. He is one of 60,000 refugees and migrants trapped in Greece since relocation to European countries stagnated and the borders were closed.

Moustafa explains how his village near Damascus was trapped between rival warring groups and, before it was too late, his family headed for Europe.

He recounts the moment they were rescued from a sinking dinghy – so accurately, it is as if he is playing back recorded footage.

He shows off the school kit he has been given, including notebooks, pens, pencils and a rucksack.

«The most important thing now is for me to study and learn Greek,» Moustafa says. «I want to be a doctor.»

Hostile reception

The new school initiative backed by the EU follows a law passed by the Greek parliament last August. It kickstarted new classes to prepare refugee children for eventual integration into the Greek education system.

Ninety-seven schools are currently involved. In three, the initiative was met with contempt. Crowds of far-right nationalists gathered to wave Greek flags, boo the children and shout slogans such as «My homeland won’t fall!»

In the town of Profitis, riot police were called in to escort pupils after stones were thrown.

In Oraiokastro, protesters chained themselves to the school gates. The self-styled «Patriotic Union of Greek Citizens of Oraiokastro» said they didn’t believe the pupils had been adequately vaccinated – something the health ministry has denied. In Perama, there were reports of physical violence.

In contrast, the arrival of pupils at Moustafa’s school in Thessaloniki went smoothly. The headteacher, Ioannis Nomikoudis, says it is down to the communication between the government, school and parents’ committee.

«The parents of the children here are not racist, but they do still have concerns and we cannot ignore that. The thing is, we didn’t make the children’s arrival debatable – like in some places.»

For Education Ministry General Secretary Giannis Pantis, the fact that there were protests at only three of the 97 schools was a success. «In many other schools the children were welcomed with songs and balloons,» he said.

He oversaw the programme from the start, when a scientific committee of leading Greek intercultural education experts and sociologists was brought together to provide advice. They assessed the work of NGOs in the camps and designed the curriculum of maths, Greek, English, art, IT and physical education.

Lost in translation

The implementation of the programme has not come without its problems, though.

The lack of certified Greek-Arabic translators is a huge issue. The government says it is not a question of not being able to afford them, but that they just do not exist.

Image caption Refugee children are taught Greek – but lessons can be hard because few Greeks speak Arabic

Maths teacher Irene Voutskoglou said she did not realise how big the challenge would be.

«We can’t really communicate well at all,» she says. «I have to appoint a student as an ‘assistant teacher’ to help me. I didn’t even realise that numbers were different in Arabic. Our zero is a dot in Arabic for example. And our five looks like a seven in Arabic.»

Most translators are provided through charities, who receive funding from the European Union. But camp coordinators say the translators’ language skills are often not good enough and that they are also needed to teach the children their native language.

Scarred by war

«This is supposed to be a transitional year,» says Giannis Pantis, the man from the ministry.

«The children attend school in the afternoon, when the school day for current pupils has finished. We believe they cannot yet be fully integrated.

«Last week a child saw a helicopter and ran out of the school. Another started to cry and hid beneath the table. Some of these children, due to the war, are almost 10 years old but have never been to school. They can’t read or write. Many of them have post-traumatic stress disorder. We have a lot to do this year.»

Image caption Greek schoolchildren quickly made their refugee classmates feel at home

With a flagging economy and an education system already crippled by six years of austerity, the refugee crisis has further stretched Greece’s capacity.

The government is reliant on just €7m (£6m; $7.5m) of European funding for the next two years (NGOs have received €83m directly) and the Greek national budget to implement the programme.

Despite the struggles, Mr Pantis says they are determined to honour the government’s commitment to the fundamental and universal right to education.
