Students will mobilize against the "despotic positions" that have intensified in schools on the occasion of the pandemic
- “Covid-19 has been used as an excuse to justify arbitrary decisions and despotic attitudes that have been taken in educational centers, coming as a natural consequence of the pandemic,” said Ikasle Autodefensa Sarea. They say that violations of fundamental rights and authoritarianism have increased, “until we have health guarantees in classrooms.” They have called for mobilisation on 25 March in Bilbao.
To denounce authoritarianism and criticize the "regrettable situation of education", they have encouraged the students of Hego Euskal Herria to take the streets on March 25. They have three main demands: the autonomy of the students to manage the learning process; the recognition of the students as a political subject (and, therefore, the right to join together, to make decisions about education, etc. ); and the elimination of repressive resources for social control.
The dynamics against authoritarianism, begun on 8 December, has been developed in several schools, but it is not over.
Stopping measures
Even when we interviewed the members of the Student Self-Defense Network in ARGIA, they showed their concern about authoritarianism in schools: “They tell us that they want to educate critical students, but when we put that idea into practice they are all problems and excuses. The measures being taken come to stay and are taking advantage of the pandemic to make the students even more controlled and submissive.”
