Education Federation Wants Guarantees About Cycle Merger

Observador10 September 2026 at 15:12

The National Education Federation expressed opposition to the proposed school cycle merger measure, arguing that it cannot serve as a solution to the shortage of teachers in schools. The organization considers that this cannot be a way to address the lack of professionals in education.

The federation is calling on the government for guarantees that better conditions will be created for both students and teachers. This position comes at a time when the executive is considering implementing changes to the structure of education cycles.

The federation's leaders are warning that the merger of cycles should not be used to make up for deficiencies in human resources. They argue that any school reorganization must take into account the quality of education and the well-being of the educational community.

The organization therefore demands concrete commitments to ensure that the measure will not compromise the quality of education offered to students, nor worsen the situation of teachers.
