What is an Organizational Improvement Plan?
This plan is being implemented by the Ministry of Education, today Sileoni by and dependent on the government of Cristina Kirchner. The funds for this plan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), an organization in exchange for money, puts pressure on governments to reform state institutions in a neoliberal direction, and the national government, a clear driver of insecurity state for work.
How low the plan?
Basically, money is deposited into the account of the school and the manager of the facility must manage and pay. The amounts range between $ 11,500 and $ 43,500 for institutional hours, and between $ 3,500 and $ 6,500 for operating expenses, depending on the number of students (1). For now, he asks that this money is intended to support school hours contraturno.
The assessment made from the ministry is that too many high school students repeat. Therefore, it is installed the idea of \u200b\u200bimproving the statistics of repetition. Through a perverse operation, reduce compliance teaching simple statistics.
What is the procedure? First, they ask for numbers of students repeating the number of number of students in exam tables, absenteeism and performance of these in them. If these numbers improve, the plan works and continues.
years ago that governments seek ways to impose a teaching job performance measurement, reducing our work in educational and emotional character to mere productivity rates. In the name of "liberalism" Kirchner, this plan is only the Educational neoliberal dream of paying teachers for student performance.
How are teachers paid?
First of all, workers in education to submit projects for institutional improvement plans we know that we will charge completely in black, no paycheck, no contributions, no bonus, no social work, no holidays, no ART, etc.
addition, the salary is intended to be a piece. That is, hours worked, hours billed. Progressing well about our rights acquired under this plan because there is no sick days, or for sick children or anything like that.
We are calling attention to the direction of SUTEBA (as the rest of the unions that make up the Guild Teachers Front), has taken no position on it, not doing an information campaign on this issue, thus leaving teachers alone and without advice to this new onslaught against public school.
's especially important to require the unions a concrete plan to combat the laundering of these institutional hours. How? Calling on delegates to enter school all of us informed and decide how to move forward together against precarious work involved in implementing school improvement plan.
How to decide the projects?
The plan seeks to give discretion to school principals. It is the manager who pays you is the manager who decides which project is done and by whom. Looking well, again, separate from co-workers that perform management and not standard features.
In this regard, it is worth remembering we are all salaried employees of the same employer, DG Culture and Education.
What to do?
front of the vortex imposed by inspectors seeking to urgently prepare and implement plans to school officials, we believe important to note the following.
All education employees should jointly discuss the pedagogical orientation of the plan. Do not let just accept concocted recipes in offices away from our schools.
Support classes may work but are not the only resource for strengthening and improving schools. You can add other projects that have already been approved, such as writing workshops, art, film, debate, teams of teachers who work as cabinets, etc.
For that, it is important to consider comprehensive plans that respond to the specific needs of each school and not the indexes needed for electoral campaigns.
As the act is consummated (the plans are falling and increasingly implemented in schools), we must then return the ball to the national and provincial government. If this is a plan of "school improvement", then you are openly acknowledging that institutional hours for extracurricular projects are necessary to improve the quality of our public schools. Therefore, this recognition must be total and so we must demand: the government must create the necessary positions in schools, paying salaries and white all work under agreement, or teacher governed by statute.
Finally, do not fall into the trap of statistics, we know they are not a good way to assess learning processes. Can be a tool, but are not the only criterion to determine the improvement or quality education.
then?
The National and Provincial Government recognizes the need for institutional hours in different forms to the curriculum.
The State must create such positions covered by the statute and keep them as permanent teachers. Laundering hours improvement plan and securitization of the same with all rights.
SUTEBA Driving (and the rest of the unions) must call the school delegates, report on it, organize the workers claim, and stand against teaching job insecurity which means the implementation of this plan.
pedagogical orientation should be discussed by the entire faculty and determined team.
Managers should not assume tasks of our employer.
