List 3 Alternative Teacher Slate Calls for Inclusion, Staffing Coverage, and Greater Autonomy in Codicen Election
The group will compete on October 3 in the election of teacher representatives. Its candidates, Mónica Acuña and Silvio Previale, presented four priorities for ANEP.
List 3 Alternative Teacher will run on October 3 in the election of representatives on Codicen, with a proposal outside union structures. According to El Telégrafo, the group is promoting four lines of work: strengthening support for inclusion, ensuring complete teaching teams from the start of classes, reviewing credentialing mechanisms, and expanding the autonomy of teachers and professors.
On inclusion, Mónica Acuña warned the outlet that more and more teachers are working with students with different diagnoses without sufficient tools. In that context, she called for more support and resources, such as support teachers and classes with teaching pairs.
Regarding vacancies at the start of the school year, Silvio Previale told El Telégrafo that the problem is not only a lack of teachers, but also a structure that, he said, prevents some teachers from accessing positions.
On credentialing, both candidates proposed an alternative so that qualified teachers can complete their pedagogical training without stopping work. On autonomy, Acuña called for effective academic freedom, while Previale noted that the curricula already provide margins of flexibility that are not always used.
The candidates also recalled that the teacher vote is mandatory and expressed concern about the lack of knowledge of the electoral process. According to El Telégrafo, those elected will serve a five-year term.
