If we do not claim our rights on Student Day, when are we going to do it !?
I hope that many high school students will join us, that they are not afraid. It is time to debate what will happen to Education", says Valentino Díaz Fontau, student 18-year-old secondary school from the Instituto Libre de Segunda Enseñanza (ILSE).
"Open the schools
", is the title with which Díaz Fontau motorizes the initiative for Monday 21, at 15, in the Ministry of Education of the Nation (Pizzurno 935).
"Four days ago they told me about this idea, I thought about it, it seemed important to me and I decided to carry it out among my people and spread the movement on social networks. I had a good reception, I just hope that the students attend.
This has nothing to do with games. politicians
, neither with CABA nor with AMBA, I want to make it clear. "
Diaz Fontau seeks to reach high school students especially and those who have health concerns or doubts.
"I try to explain to them that
we must vehemently claim what belongs to us
and
that is not being firmly enforced.
Education is being neglected, postponed, neglected.
Argentine politics is not interested in discussing
education and from my place I want to do something for those who do not have the possibility of connecting by zoom. "
Valentino Díaz Fontau, ILSE student, 18 years old: "Many students who stopped attending dropped out and something must be done for them."
The young man says that he does not seek that there are dissidents, that many think that it is not the sanitary moment to convene, "but it has been six months that we do not go to the classroom or that we do not see our teachers.
For six months there has been a 'study who I can. 'It's time for them to listen to us
because more and more students have lost continuity, stopped studying or directly lack connectivity. "
Díaz Fontau is finishing fifth year at ILSE and says that he has no problems, "but I can't look the other way knowing that
not all students have the same possibilities
. My mother is a public school teacher in the city of Buenos Aires and I He said that a lot of students were left on the road and they did not return again. "
The flyer that is circling the networks.
"This has nothing to do with any political party. It is a physical claim for what belongs to us."
As a student, he affirms that he has
the responsibility to do something, to generate some reaction
"even if it was not more and that is why I believe that we have to demonstrate in our day so that we all have access to Education, otherwise inequalities will continue to deepen For this reason, the objective of this call is that we demand an educational plan,
we demand that Education be a priority for Argentine politics
. "
What the ILSE student notes is that "everything in relation to education is very lukewarm and Education remained as an independent variable, as if it were an option that will return when the conditions are met ... And it is not like that, Education It is key but
politics shows how much it really matters to him that the people are educated
. "
Monday's call "is for all those who are involved in education, teachers, professors, university students and, as I said, for those of us who are in high school and do not know how we are going to continue."
Because right now?
"Because before the national context alluded to mass complaints in which we were not going to be of great relevance.
Now is a good time to physically appear and say enough
."
Finally, Díaz Fontau asks that "the students, teachers and professors who hesitate to go, have full assurance that we are going to take all the necessary measures and protocols. It is a claim that is made with respect. Please do not have fear,
fear inhibits our rights
. "
