Putting education order
Some say that the education sector is like a hot rock that nobody dares to touch, being a total conflict area, where the union which represents them in check is the authorities who want to order.
Many times there were attempts to tidy up, to put discipline in the work of teachers, who should exhibit correct behavior and be the best example for his students.
In recent times there have been many cases that border crime through the embarrassment of the scandal. Thus we have teachers using a forged medical certificate to their superiors have been surprised by getting the highlight requested, other breach of its work by not teaching classes to attend but to collect their salaries.
These acts have led to regional president Ivan Vasquez, decide to deal with this situation you definitely cannot continue for more kicking there by the leadership of the teachers of Loreto, which now has another reason to rouse the spirits and call protest marches, sit-ins and demonstrations thousand, which is to the detriment of students who see school hours decreased because their teachers are fighting for their rights.
Those who make up this sector can not attract attention because it simply takes it as a reason for confrontation. Even more when it comes to impose order.
Thirty thousand students from the interior villages of our region have been virtually left to their fate, without a teacher to teach them because they never reached their destinations, but punctually spent per case to collect their salaries.
