The application of new matter starts this year in second and fourth of ESO. Parents opposed to the subject require the Department an alternative. JIMENEZ DELIA
- LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA. The representatives of various groups that oppose Canary implementation of subject Education Citizenship, which this year will apply for the first time in the second and fourth courses of Secondary Education (ESO), hold that pose the objections of parents canaries in the courts if the Ministry of Education does not apply an alternative.
Citizenship Education was introduced in the English educational system on a compulsory basis by the Organic Law of Education (LOE), passed during the first term of government of Rodriguez Zapatero. Indeed, this course expiry of the period granted by the Ministry of Education to the different regions to begin to implement in the classroom the new subject, which has generated an intense debate in English society.
The controversy arises from the belief that certain sectors of the subject on Education for Citizenship, which will be an evaluable course, has "political manipulation that seeks to go by training the conscience of young people in the image and likeness of Governments turn, and that's what parents can not afford, "said Jorge Melon, the founder of Freedom Educa Tenerife platform.
For his part, Antonio Saavedra, representative of that platform in Gran Canaria, warns parents about the importance of expressing in a letter submitted to the Ministry of Education of his conscientious objection to the subject. Saavedra
For this new matter "does not respect the right of parents to educate their children and with it the Government intends to build a sectarian moral consciousness of students. Parents are driving out of education and that is something we should not tolerate ". It also recalls the way it intends to apply for Citizenship Education in contravention of constitutional mandates, with specific reference to the violation of Article 27.3 of the English Constitution.
throughout the country have already submitted more than 41,000 objections, of which 116 (as of August) are fathers canaries. In the ranking of our own communities is at the second lowest, followed Baleares. In this sense, Saavedra encourages families to show their opposition formally, though not yet have children of school age, "because this is the only way to stop the implementation of this subject. The same thing happened with the movements opposed to the mandatory compliance military service were counted in ten years with 70,000 objections that ultimately bore fruit. "
CONFESSION. The promoters of the platform opposite to the binding of Education for Citizenship in the curriculum of schools make it clear that this is a non-partisan movement and non-denominational, in an attempt to correct those who seek to link the object to conservative thinking or religious.
"Parents who are objecting to and to express their objection to this course is compulsory are showing great courage, because in the Canary Islands Ministry of Education is demonstrating that he agreed with the approach in this area and ignores our demands," added Jorge Melon, who also thinks that the limited impact of the objections to religious education reflects the fact that "charter schools, mostly religious, have joined the concert money and believe they are safe because they can apply their ideas ". Saavedra agrees
"the existence of a certain passivity on the part of religious schools. They believe they will have some freedom in the implementation of this subject, but I'm sure that Education will launch the inspection team to ensure that the law is fulfilled the same everywhere. "
