The representative of the capital, Julián Pinilla Malagón, assures that the entity has received information indicating that the service is only provided by 764 routes, benefiting 13,709 students out of the 20,600 who can mobilize.
In addition, complaints have been lodged by parents who have expressed concern about their children's access to decent education. The reason why the supervisory body reviewed the contracts provided by the District Secretariat for Education. In these, it was found that the service is only provided to 41% of beneficiaries, which means that there are almost 7,000 places for students that have not yet been allocated.
Another complaint concerns the fact that there are 558 school routes waiting to be put into circulation, which are estimated to be able to provide the service to approximately 13,000 students. Rep. Pinilla said: “The smooth running of the program is essential so that, in cases where the quota is allocated outside the locality of residence of the student, the provision of the service is guaranteed, especially in places where there is a greater shortage of school quotas such as Bosa, Kennedy and Suba.”
It should be noted that purchase orders issued by the Ministry of Education are not published. This generated a call from the Personería to the Mayor's Office of Bogotá, demanding that the exploitation of all school routes be carried out; in order to guarantee access to education.
In fact, several months ago, various media had already published complaints about non-compliance with the school mobility plan. Among the statements we can understand the concern of parents, who had to wake up their children early in the morning to be able to get to school on time. In addition, they had to pay for student trips, during which they sometimes had to take several buses on a single route.
The other students who were affected months ago are those who live in rural areas of Bogotá, as certain factors required the hiring of operators by the Colombia Compra Eficiente agency and in addition, some operators had limitations in their operational capacity.
