Pasta of the educational system


27 January 2021 - 09:29

Because in the Basque Country there is a great culinary culture, to see if this is how the theme of concerts in private centers is better understood.

Two friends go to a restaurant, one with seafood salsa, fried chipirones, clams and prawns, and the other with a “normal” tomato pasta dish. When the time of payment comes, each dish has a price based on the number of words in the menu, so whoever has requested the longest and most expensive dish asks his partner to pay him half. In short, this is the pact of private schools. Otherwise I would not have been able to eat pasta by paying for the dish with the money of your friend.

Of course there are nuances between the concerted centers; but, in short, educational concerts are a parallel educational system paid by the administration and with private management.

"The current system allows those who eat less to buy a cheap pasta, while private centers are given the opportunity to take the money from that cheap pasta and make 'bucatins' with other 'additional means'".

The pasta dish has the function of fulfilling fundamental rights, educating, growing and dignifying all people. The least he eats will give him the opportunity to pick up what he needs in life. But the current system allows those who eat less to buy a cheap pasta, and private centers are given the opportunity to take the money from that cheap pasta and make bucatins with other “additional means”. To this we add marketing and propaganda and we have all the ingredients for social imbalance.

Let the Bucatini eat and pay everything he wants out of his pocket. Giving public money to private companies is a dream of the neoliberal system. More than EUR 600 million is given directly in the CVA, with the support of the main government and opposition groups. And as if that were not enough, they want us to believe that this system is public. Of course, in Europe there are different ways of organising a public education system; but universality or the principles of free public character are the same everywhere and the concerted centres do not comply at all.

Public money should be the best possible pasta to reach as many people as possible and give more than anyone who has less or special needs to compensate for their situation. We need a system that promotes equity if we want a well-nourished and cohesive society.

The past is there to learn well-made things; but we can't always look back. We have to prepare the menu tomorrow in the Basque public school. Among all, a menu that belongs to everyone and to everyone, with pasta made in the ecological worker of each place.

Summer harvest

It is often said that the summer season is a parenthesis in politics. Perhaps anyone who has a purely institutional view of politics thinks so, but the summer of this year, which is still about to end, has given us something to look at.

Technology
All power

There are several people to study, including Elon Musk. The idea of freedom that they have seems to come from the need to control everything, to have all the power, because being all the power is easier to create business, there is no discussion; the hegemonic models grow with... [+]

Hysterical materialism

Baserritarras holidays

Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.

For the health and... [+]

The art of raising your hand

The Assyrian and Babylonian students did not know the art of raising their hand. It took centuries, and maybe a few millennia, for a student at an Egyptian school, who wanted to ask him something, to try to raise his hand: the teacher who gave an explanation, and the student,... [+]

Open letter to the Education Counsellor (and II)

Dear Mrs:

How about summer? I hope. On this occasion, I will go to the point, with your permission.

As you know, coming into the competitive logic of ultra-liberal markets, educational institutions must implement all kinds of "projects". You should know that many of them do not... [+]


Happy New Year

It is not Christmas, however, there will soon be decorations in the big shops to announce it, or at least they say so. In the shop window “Zorionak! Claims like “Gabon ederra passes!” will be exposed everywhere. However, congratulations can be many: the lottery, bringing a... [+]

I would like to understand…
I should like to know how my people’s neighbours voted in the last elections. I'd like to know who I drink morning coffee with in the town's inns. I would like to understand why these results have occurred in Iparralde.

Hysterical materialism
Non-compliant(tut)

My cycles start in September and end in June, actually, (I was going to wear myself, but every time I use the plural a dwarf yells at me in my head, “they will be yours!”), and so it has been in my life, whether there is vacation, whether or not I have paid work on schedule... [+]

One Summer Chronicle

In summer, we retirees don't tend to be hungry for vacations, and we can calmly analyze everything around us. Here are some issues that surprised me.
