The Ministry of Education is considering opening new classes or increasing the number of students per classroom as possible solutions to resolve the problem of hundreds of students who, at the start of the school year, still had no placement in a public school.
The measure comes in a context of scarcity of spots in public schools, a situation that affects numerous families and generates concern regarding access to education. The educational authorities are evaluating different options to accommodate all students.
The exact numbers of students without placement or the districts most affected by this situation were not specified. The Ministry has not yet provided a timeline for the implementation of the measures under consideration.
The lack of places in public schools has been a recurring concern in the education system, and the opening of new classes or increasing classroom occupancy represent solutions that require additional resources in terms of space, teachers, and materials.
