About the Education Act...
In recent weeks I have been pending discussions on the new Education Act at the CAPV. I am not going to deny that I have been boycotted with the dynamics and arguments that have appeared in them and, in general, with the political values and points of departure that underlie them.
I am particularly concerned about a (political) argument, which has been defended by a sector of the Abertzale space that comes from the world of the ikastolas: “The public-private debate must be overcome.” This interested approach would lead to a long debate, but two are the contradictory elements that really surprise me.
"The end of public-private dichotomy fosters the values of neoliberalism, as so many countries and communities have taught us."
On the one hand, the argument is based on the criticism of the liberal State, but it complements an even more liberal argument: that, in order to respond to uncontrolled and private interests (i.e. not designed for the benefit of all), non-public centres can freely manage public money (i.e. of all), on an equal footing with public centres. It goes against social justice that seeks equality.
On the other hand, it is left to one side that the end of the public-private dichotomy fosters the values of neoliberalism, as so many countries and communities have taught us, so it only benefits the middle class and the rich. Will we use the same argument to think and reorganize the health system? Or pensions?
In a territory where segregation increases day by day, it can be said that the ikastola model that emerged decades ago is saved with money and is close to innocence. Our society is in serious crisis, and the only possible future is to face this situation with a view that is based on equality and social justice. All this is to the detriment of all, and only to the interest of a few.
