Rodolfo Pacheco, un maestro Mexicano explica el como y el porque de las protestas de los maestros. LOs maestros han occupado el Zocalo desde hace 5 meses protestando una ley de 'Reforma Educativa'. Los maestro dicen que es mas una ley de reforma laboral porque obliga a los maestros a someterse a una evaluacion para seguir trabajando en su profesion. En la segunda semana de Septiembre se pasaron la ley, y los maestros cerraron el centro de Ciudad Mexico, y hubo enfrentamientos con la policia. El viernes fueron desalojados del Zocalo. Los maestros se han ubicado en otros lugares, y siguen con sus desfiles. Rudolfo Pacheco, a Mexican Philosophy teacher explains the whys and wherefores of the Mexican teachers' protests. The teachers have occupied the Zocalo for over 5 months in protest against 'Educational Reform' legislation, claiming that it is more about labor reform than educational reform, because it requires the teachers to undergo periodic evaluation to continue working in their profession. In the second week of September the legislation was passed, and the teachers shut down the centre of Mexico City with confrontations with the police. On Friday they were evicted from the Zocalo and they have relocated to other public locations in the city, and are continuing with their protest marches. |
