We will sign the contract!


The government demands the commitment of the educational community
We will sign the contract!
...but not with those that demolish public education
We will sign it with the people to preserve education as a public good

We, the teachers of the people that are currently suffering, we commit to a contract with the people for an education that:
-          promotes Democracy as a common way of thinking, acting and interacting with each other.
-          offers knowledge to children and teenagers based on the supreme values of solidarity, collectivity and collaboration.
-          respects childhood.
-          includes all children and teenagers irrespectively of social origin, financial ability, color, religion or ethnic origin.
-          teaches the history of the struggles of our people for freedom, democracy, equality and justice.
They demand from us to serve the principle of 'excellence' and to eradicate mediocracy. They demand from us to focus on only a few students in every class and to leave the rest to fall into analphabetism and later into precarious employment. All of this is presented with the face of 'quality upgrade'...

We, the teachers, refuse:
-          to watch schools shutting down.
-          to be accomplices in the production of a 'lost generation'. We will not allow our students to belong to the class of the losers just because their social origin is not supposed to provide them with access to education and decent living.
-          to serve the fake schools of 'excellence' in which the 'non excellent' will be driven to child labor.
-          to watch our colleagues to become unemployed for ever.

We, the teachers, are part of the people. We studied to serve the people and to return our knowledge to them. Now, we will defend in any possible way the right of the children for education. This right has to be continued to be provided to all children irrespectively of social origin, social class, financial ability, color, religion and ethnic origin.

We actively support a school based on the principles of democracy, humanity, solidarity, equality, respect and collective action.

We defend in all possible ways PUBLIC and FREE EDUCATION as the ultimate expression of our social and personal responsibility.
