The wheel continues to spin

DOM CAMPISTRON

Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to receive public money, provided that they fulfilled the principles and objectives established by law, “assuming the commitments and obligations that required them”. Before breaking this fragment, the Department of Education ignored what was included in the document and concluded an agreement with multinational Google. Following the "Historic" agreement of the Basque Parliament, the law was lifted without the support of the opposition. From the drafts, to the agreement, to the agreement to the law, to the law to the reality. The authors despised the left very well and the blessed Historic Agreement is still echoed two centuries later. They know how to manage propaganda. Public education came out of the trance badly hit. But, you know, the department today is not of that time (then vice-counselor is the counselor today, nothing else).

The current lehendakari has called for a plan to reduce bureaucracy in the Basque institutions and has criticised the cuts. Once the bureaucratic bubble is swollen, they ask for a plan to alleviate the cumbersome (forgive, they are others). Of course, someone will have to implement the plan and someone will be made a contract, an agreement or whatever. The Basque Government and Microsoft have signed a partnership agreement this year on cybersecurity and digital education (see video, the representative of the multinational is on alert). How many years have we been putting digital devices in classrooms without criteria? How many data have you made available to the computer giants? How much public money has been provided to them by the various Basque governments? How much will it take now to repair the infamia? (Note, the giants themselves are going to pay it again. ).

How long will the new Basque Government devote to closing a millionaire deal with a corporation to provide teachers with computer tools to enable them to work properly?

The various Basque governments are proud to be at the forefront of educational innovation, also in the field of digitisation. Well, the digital technology we use is the seventh century, and the programs are hanging out continuously. The application to which the students' notes are incorporated, besides being ugly and uncomfortable, does not facilitate the work, but makes it extremely difficult. Once we have finished what really is our work (explaining, clarifying doubts, evaluating, qualifying), we have to wait and devote hours to re-incorporating the qualifications that we have already introduced elsewhere in the tremendous implementation of the Government, because the department does not have any computer tools for data dump (VII. 20th-century technology, I tell you, some colleagues say that when computers ignite, they hear a distant Gregorian song.) Why would they have given us the opportunity to resume our work and start with the accounts for the next evaluation? It is better to continue with the godly head, begging the goddesses not to stay hanging from the program so as not to be mistaken very carefully (which is easy, at 21:00 hours after an exhausting day and with a poor and obsolete program).But, I say, those applications would be designed and applied by someone, and not for free, would be paid by a previous Basque Government. How long will it take for the new Basque Government to close a millions deal with a corporation for teachers to have the computer tools to work properly? And we will not thank you if you do! They've tied us in a short chain. Besides manipulating propaganda, they also know how to make auzolan (or is it the same? I've made so many laps and I'm disoriented...
