PRD will promote protection in defense of full-time schools

Jesús Zambrano, national coordinator of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), said on Tuesday, April 12, that he will promote an indirect protection to defend full-time schools, which the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) intends to disappear.

Through social networks, the partisan leader argued that this appeal will be submitted to district courts and that he does so in defense of the healthy development of Mexican children: “of their safety, nutrition and education to raise their quality in what they are receiving from public schools.”

During her statement, Zambrano Grijalva explained that the defence of full-time schools will not only benefit the girls and boys who use these institutions, because working women in charge of them and minors will also benefit, as they could carry out their economic activities with greater peace of mind.

It should be remembered that these institutions provide extra hours of learning, as well as coexistence between minors in a controlled and healthy environment, where the institution monitors their healthy diet and social development, so that heads of household who are mostly busy can perform in their daily tasks of more relaxed way.

“It also defends working mothers and fathers of our country so that they can be attending their daily tasks without any fear”

Accompanied by the party's legal team, the president of the Aztec Sol concluded his statement by reiterating that this remedy is promoted “in defense of full-time schools, in defense of Mexican children and in defense of parents”.

It is important to remember that despite the fact that the 4T administration has insisted that the full-time service of public schools that manage it should be abolished, the Seventh District Judge for Administrative Matters of Mexico City ordered on March 31 to temporarily stop the operating rules of the La School is Our (LEEN) because they violate the rights to education and food of girls, boys and adolescents.

This was given an amparo promoted on March 22 by the civil organization Mexicanos Primero, who pointed out that the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), headed by Delfina Gómez, does not provide additional class hours and food services for students with the LEEN that was implemented in exchange for the elimination of the Escuelas program Full-Time (FTE).

According to the federal government's main argument, the ETC program presented alleged acts of corruption, although there is more evidence of all the positive externalities it generated.

In reaching this determination, the judge considered “the right of minors to receive education, care and care while their parents, guardians or persons responsible for them”. Parents' time was also considered, because if they do not have a job, it is assumed that they should dedicate themselves to looking for one and, if they do, they should devote time to their work tasks.

In addition, minors have the right to child care and care services, something that is promoted in full-time schools, as they promote the healthy all-round development of the child and better academic achievement. So the so-called parliamentary opposition, civil organizations and other detractors of the AMLO government began the process to defend full-time schools.
