- On January 9, EH Bildu challenged the PSN on the Infant Education Cycle 0-3. In this way, the different political parties argued their ideas on a discursive level. The new Education Advisor presented a number of improvements, which are not enough and which are seen as one more patch. Improvements, welcome, but we ask you to define the journey to meet the long-term goal.
The first cycle of Early Childhood Education requires a common and public management, for which we ask for organized and studied explanations.
It is clear from the STEILAS trade union that: First Cycle of Child Education:
- Educator
- Public and public management
- Free
- Universal
- Bilingual
The STEILAS trade union and the Nafarroa Platform 0-3 have brought two essential demands to the streets:
- We need an urgent lowering of the ratios because the present ratios are dangerous and unsustainable. Comply with the recommendations of the European Commission’s Child Care Network (half of what we have) and put an end to unsustainable and dangerous school coexistence. In this way we will be able to respect the characteristics of that age.
- Increase in the salaries of professionals: In Navarre, the same wage is not paid for the same work, although all children's schools are public.
These are the essential axes to speak of quality and pedagogical criteria. Unfortunately, they were not given any margin at the meeting, “we have made ratios more flexible” the counsellor said without explaining their meaning.
It is not new that most political parties are betting on the homogenisation of the cycle. The proposals to reach this goal are the news we expect.
These seven children ' s schools, which are anachronistic to the Department of Social Rights, have long been dependent on the Department of Education. On this occasion, if the problem posed by the counsellor is resolved, the way will begin for the management of the rest of the children's schools to be dependent on the Department of Education.
