Education Issues Analyzed (El Vigia, 10/12/12 by Enrique Rojas)
San Quintín, BC - Teachers of different levels and educational modalities in the region met to discuss their participation in education and participated in a basic training workshop sponsored by the Secretaries General. The workshop, called "The SNTE and its contribution to the modernization of the country" was held last Thursday in the Mission Santa Isabel de 8 Event Hall from 8:30 am until 5 pm. A total of 82 teachers participated divided into three groups, integrated into working groups on educational action issues. The event was also attended by Commissioners.
Attendees at the workshop explained they were summoned by the Regional coordination section II of the National Union of education workers at San Quentin. They mentioned that the activities were intended to make Union leaders aware of SNTE educational contributions. Six exhibitors in total, with two per group, were members of section II of the SNTE.
During the course of the workshop, participants discussed issues such as experience, such as what works and doesn't in the educational system in the SNTE. They also worked on the definition of the SNTE, what is a school and what is Union representation, as well as analysis of the school environment, what should change in school management and the basic functions of a school representative.
The final issues were reflection of what goes first: economic development or educational reform, and the interaction between section II of the SNTE and the State education system (ESS). http://www.elvigia.net/noticia/analizan-papel-en-educaci-n
