Yeneira Luzardo, a mother from Lanzarote, has denounced the discrimination suffered by her three-year-old daughter by not being able to access a full day at her school due to the lack of educational assistants in the Canary Islands. This citizen, who already suffered last year from problems in public health to continue with the weekly sessions that her daughter received, has faced since the beginning of the course the difficulty for her daughter to share classes with the rest of her classmates.
To date, this citizen who currently lives in Vecindario, on the island of Gran Canaria, can only take her daughter to class for less than two hours a day. As she told La Voz, after giving the little girl some tests, the school's management indicated that she should go with the students with special needs, in the Aula en Clave of the CEIP El Canario. However, due to the lack of places in this space, it was decided that she would be part of the places for ordinary students, with the support of one or two educational assistants.
Although Yeneira Luzardo was promised that on January 8 her daughter could join the usual schedule of the rest of her classmates, which is between 8.30 am and 1.30 pm, her surprise came when the center told her that the educational assistants had not arrived and that she could only stay until 10.10 am. Since then, her daughter has not been able to access the usual class schedule.
"You go home looking like a fool", Luzardo says in an interview with La Voz, in which she denounces that less than two hours of class does not give her daughter time to learn and play with the rest of her classmates.
