C OMMENCEMENT the school year and apply important changes in the educational system. Many are the rumors that have run about and accuses the government of wanting to "ideologize children." Minister Adan Chavez account today in an interview on "The Nationality l", which consist of the changes.
This is the interview Guerrero Mariela Hoyer:
in the office of Education Minister Adan Chavez, no posters or pictures of the leader of the Bolivarian revolution. The older brother of head of State is only a sculpture of Alo Presidente on his desk.
Surrounded by images of illustrious Venezuelans explains, from a large office, which from tomorrow will be implemented gradually, curricular reform.
- When will the details of the reform? Director of Curriculum, Alba Perez, said the President's announced program hoy. "That never raised. The opposition expressed concern, but what we said is that tomorrow, without fail, all children and youth of the country will be in class. The curriculum is all the educational event as a single entity. It is about infrastructure, with resources for learning and conditioning. We have goals for about five years we have a completely transformed educational system.
- covers teacher training? "Yes, and restructuring of content, with new teaching methods. At the beginning of the school year will implement the curriculum, in which one of the pillars is the preparation of teachers of the Bolivarian schools and high schools. Do not be afraid of that, is simply a transformation to have the educational system that Venezuela needs.
- What other changes will there be? "Will delete the rote methods, the punitive fragmented education. It must be a participatory education, innovative methods that lead to critical analysis and training of the new man this country needs.
- Who advised the curriculum? "There is a group participating.
- Who are the members? "I do not think it takes their names.
- Why not? "No need, Respect me the criterion. What is important to say is that there are very high-level specialists and are not necessarily pro-Chavez. Are people aware of the urgent need to complete the restructuring to achieve compliance as established in the Constitution: it is an educational system for all Venezuelans, in a full democracy.
- When teachers begin to implement the new curriculum? "The same will work as saying, but the timeline established is that between now and December to make the workshops.
- When will they start to apply for private schools? "It will be later. Now we will in the Bolivarian schools and high schools. The process will tell which is the time. Most likely for private institutions is that there be effective next school year.
"You said that books are being developed to suit the new diseño." Yes, December we have printed the earliest texts. This is a point that has been manipulated out there, but we have never said that we will have a single text or that will be imposed.
-yet unpublished book list announced he would be available before the year escolar. "What I said is that we are reviewing the texts used, to be sure which ones are best suited to new curriculum. Publish a list of suggestions for teachers to have a better handle on the texts. It is logical that publishers want to sell and as much as possible. It is the capitalist management.
- When will it be published? Representatives are buying books. "But the suggestion is not to buy them or not is for use in educational aula.Los know the lists and those who already bought their supplies, they will use.
- Is it true that they are giving more emphasis to the area of \u200b\u200bsocial science? -No. Eventually, see how it is structured curriculum. Now, it's not a secret, we're just sharpening Nando details. No need to further strengthen one area than another. There will be new methods for teaching the social sciences, but also mathematics and natural sciences, because everything is important. Where did that come about social sciences?
"The Government has explained that education is based on the tree with three roots and has acknowledged ideology. "All education does.
-also mentioned that through it will form the new Republican. From this, experts say. "The studies that the brainy brainy analysts, and analysts who have little, manipulate information. We are transforming education that is participatory and inclusive, and not managed them for a long time and would like to continue, in which they maintain an elite education, all education was private. That was the trend that was here before President Chávez. We have done the opposite.
- Does that mean they will nationalize the entire system? "We've made it very clear: private education, which is maintained. Whoever wants to pay to do so, but private education institutions have to comply with the Constitution because they got used to do virtually what they wanted. Education for them was a parallel education. We must recognize that some schools are still trying to do that.
- When Bolivarian become private schools? "That's part of the job. We have to meet. May they also have the willingness to assume that we have nothing against them. We do not want to close their schools, but to reach agreements that will also implement the curriculum there.
- Does the tree affect the three roots of academic freedom and thought? - Why?
"Because so many people pregunta." Not many people. Three representatives of the opposition and leaders of private institutions. If you look at actual surveys, most agree with the changes we are doing and why they have expressed through the vote, their willingness to stay on as President Hugo Chávez. That itself is a crowd. Who may be against the philosophical basis of the new curriculum ca is in the educational foundation of Simón Bolívar, Simón Rodríguez and the libertarian ideas of Ezequiel Zamora? And they are not alone, we consider the thought of emancipation and education of Francisco de Miranda, which is not as it should be taught in our schools. What we are introducing in the study of social sciences is the real story, not history that established the oligarchy manipulated.
- Will there be new heroes?-No. That is a misrepresentation of what I'm saying. We know who really was Miranda is not to have a new hero. It is our duty to consider exactly our story, not manipulate.
- When will the details so that analysts do not draw the conclusions that you criticize? "The information was known teachers and representatives through educational areas.
"In the educational area say they have no details. "They have the information.
-There will be a new calendar. What is? "That is part of the new curriculum. The year will continue in the same way: between 180 and 200 days. That must be true, because many schools, not only have more vacation-deprived. Patriotic holidays will continue, but will be for activities complementary schools, not to go on holiday. Are to raise the feeling.
- Is the time zone change will take effect this year? "Yes. On Monday 24, but not infl uence the official. The entry will continue at 7:00 am.
He spoke of a test at the beginning of the year. When will the results be known? "Once you have, we will post. We will apply various instruments. The review to clarify what is the level that our students is one, but also be ones that have to do with infrastructure and others to clarify the strengths and weaknesses of teachers. We are encouraging a change to improve what necessary.
The proposal
Although Chávez Minister prefers to talk about the process and not the principles of the new teaching, the civil association Board of Education was a document that contains details of the new curriculum.
The first goal of primary education will "express the feeling of love and respect for the country, for himself and his relationship with his family, teachers, peers and other people."
Among the contents will be studied "the Bolivarian Ideology and Socialism of the XXI century." About
high school, working paper states that the teaching correspond with society "humanistic democratic-reliant, participatory, multi-ethnic and multicultural society that is built in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. "
also indicates that among the contents were studied Marxism, the Bolivarian revolution, "capitalism as a form of domination in the world," "imperialism and the socialist economic model" and the "new Bolivarian socialist humanist doctrine."
The primary and secondary students know and interpret the Bolivarian Constitution. According to Olga Ramos, president of the civil partnership, using the same adjectives of the Bolivarian revolution of Hugo Chávez in the new curriculum would violate Article 102 of the Constitution which reads: "Education is based on respect for all currents of thought."
