general coordinator of the party Primero Justicia, Julio Borges spoke today to the aggression against the demonstrators on Yesterday, as a government mechanism to divert the issue from education to political confrontation and division of the Venezuelan people.
"I'm sure that this discourse of the armed forces does not represent the views of the majority of Venezuelans, but reflects the government's intention to turn them into a political party," Borges said in a press release.
also reiterated that the demonstration was a "true demonstration that people are going to keep fighting and not give up to get the education they want and deserve."
"Families have the final say on how they educate their children. That does not really cover what matter, the need to give a real effective and quality education to Venezuelans. "
On this point, Borges reported that on Monday will go to the National Electoral Council in the company of Miranda state governor, Henrique Capriles Radonsky, and National Assembly deputy, Ismael Garcia, to request the steps they must take in order to "consult the people their opinion on the LOE. Challenge the Government
Moreover, the coordinator of the yellow awning, said the debate about the implications or benefits of the LOE, have been diverted to the political issue, and challenged the government to the discussion is oriented toward problems education fund.
"The government should be looking for why the average schooling in Venezuela is 7 years, when internationally should be around 10 years, as the rate necessary to escape poverty," he said.
expressed concern at the serious problem experienced by the sector of education in Venezuela and asked, "Why 40% of preschool children, whose ages ranged from 3 to 5 years are excluded from education? why 10 young people reach the ninth grade 6 and only 3 fail to approve the entire school? ".
For Borges these topics should be discussed between the national government ministries and the Venezuelan society, to discuss "what is the education we have and what is the education they deserve."
"The education debate must be done in the corresponding terms, wondering if the Education Act actually improves the problem of quality education our children receive. Wondering if this law improves the deplorable state in which is our schools. That is the real debate, "said Borges.
Similarly, showed that the average years of schooling of the Venezuelan population between 25 and 59 years of age is 8.6 years of education, while in other Latin American countries like Argentina, the figure rose to 10, 5; Bolivia with 9.2, 9.3 Colombia, Peru and Uruguay at 10.2 years at 9.7.
"According to UNESCO, the rate of repetition in first grade in our country is 11.7%, where the world is at 4% and Latin America at 8.1. These numbers are what should matter to government and not the ideological issue. "
On the issue of government investment into the educational sector, Borges said that investing more in higher education and "so little in basic education and preschool: Why 10 years of government have been built 5 000 schools are needed so that more kids can graduate from high school? ".
noted that the issue of education has been distorted to the political confrontation, apart from" what really matters to most Venezuelans, such as quality education. "
" From First we reiterate Justice Committee Formation Moral and Enlightenment, which represents an alternative approach to education that we want, how you have to invest money, how they have to build schools and make society organized in each of the schools may have the education they deserve their children "
