The parliamentary spokesperson for Nueva Canarias (NC), Carmen Hernández, proposed this Wednesday to the plenary session that a "new stabilization process for interim teachers" be arbitrated, adapted to the singularities and realities of the Canary Islands. Hernández has offered this initiative to the Minister of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports, Poli Suárez, to guarantee the "continuity of those affected in their jobs".
The deputy of the Canarian group has raised this measure when asking Suárez about the measures planned by the Government to guarantee the job continuity of Canarian teachers. "Disastrous" has been the adjective used by Hernández to describe the provisional result of the stabilization process of Canarian teachers. "Instead of consolidating those who have been working in our classrooms for 10, 20 or even 30 years, we are going to stabilize 2,048 teachers" from other communities. "More than 1,800 Canarian teachers are left without a place", the Canarian spokesperson pointed out.
"More than 1,800 Canarian teachers are left without a place"
53% of the places, she continued, will be for people who "have never set foot in our classrooms". In Primary, the "debacle" has been "more serious" reaching 80 percent, who are left out, as she drew attention to. Carmen Hernández said that this is an "irreparable" damage to the Canarian school.
For Nueva Canarias, this stabilization represents a "direct attack on the quality, stability and social function" of Canarian schools. It supposes, she warned, a rupture with years of construction of a curriculum, of a renewed educational practice adapted to our social and natural environment.
"It must be said clearly", the spokesperson for Nueva Canarias-BC drew attention. Each place occupied by a new person from outside implies the "expulsion" of a teacher who "already worked in our classrooms", she insisted. It affects the educational quality, she warned.
Again, in Carmen Hernández's opinion, the State legislates from the "unifying and short-sighted centralism of the metropolis, which forgets our cultural, geographical and historical singularities with a certain level of contempt". She expressed the hope that the next ruling of the European Court of Justice will "shed light".
She has advocated for "protecting our teachers, removing all legal and administrative obstacles, to save these jobs and prevent this aggression" to the Canarian public school. Carmen Hernández has proposed a solution, which is also related to what Minister Suárez stated in response to the question from the progressive Canarian group. "Let's make a new stabilization process for these people who have been left out". In the "Canarian way", that is, with that "magic wand" with which the head of the Canarian Executive "fixes everything", the Canarian parliamentarian ironized.
The objective, Carmen Hernández defended, is that the affected interim teachers have an "option to a stable job and that the Canarian school does not lose the human heritage built over decades".
