HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 28 (acn) The "Integrating school-family-community" symposium is one of the busiest in the world event Pedagogy 2015 as it has more than 140 papers for discussion, of which a considerable part is about the Cuban experience: Transforming to educate.
Mariano Isla, coordinator of the debate, spoke with AIN about the progress of this project consisting of two parts: one, revitalizing the School Councils and the other, resuming talks of the Family Education School.
We have a new more participatory and democratic conception, for example, we have added students to the School Councils as their voice had not been previously considered even though they are the main beneficiaries of the process, Isla said.
Now the members make the calendar and coordinate visits to workplaces or organize cultural activities: the image of the councils was deteriorated because they only dealt with material problems like getting a broom or cleaning tools, it's time them to be generators of ideas.
Isla explained that the advance is coupled with the implementation of a new more flexible school hours, to leave space for the exchange of students with community residents.
The teacher said that although the Ministry of Education has among its priority objectives making this plan having national reach, so far they have only reached 740 of the more than 10 400 schools of general education.
If the Family Education School expand faster, and treat such sensitive issues like domestic violence, gender discrimination or early pregnancy, issues always proposed by relatives and students, we could become true that slogan that education is a task for all.
