The International Day of Education

https://www.facebook.com/wfdyfmjd/posts/4

   The 24th of January was the International Day of Education. We must underline that Education is a strategic matter for people struggling to emancipate themselves from the exploitive system.

   During the pandemic, the problems that we have been denouncing have become evident: the inability to satisfy the interests of students and teachers due to continuous cutbacks, the class gap materialised in the difficulties of access to telematic study, etc.

   We denounce elitist and conservative views of Education, which point out it as a privilege and not as a right of the people.

   We reject the privatization and commercialization of schools and universities, the collection of fees, monthly payments or tariffs in any stage of education because they reinforce a business approach to education and raise class barriers to the free access of the youth.

   We denounce the presence and the intrusion of multinational companies in education, resulting in an immense loss of quality in favour of the capital.

   In these times when our rights, such as the right to public, free and scientific education, are threatened with the excuse of the pandemic and the economic and health crisis, it is more necessary than ever to stand up for our rights.

   Let's struggle for our right to have free, scientific, public education!
