Deputies of Together for Change ask to know the exact number of children who did not return to school
The controversy that was unleashed last week by statements by the Minister of Education of the City, Soledad Acuña, and the subsequent debate by the boys who, due to the stoppage of face-to-face classes, never returned to school, reached Congress. Deputies from Together for Change presented this Wednesday a request for the national government to report how many boys were left out of the system due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The draft resolution was presented by the radical deputy Juan Martín and has the support of twenty peers from the opposition interbloc. There, the Executive Power is requested to report not only how many children and young people have been left out of the system since the beginning of the pandemic, but also a disaggregation with modalities and levels of education, educational jurisdiction and management sector.
In addition, they ask that the situation of the programs that are being implemented to reverse this scenario be recorded. He mentions four programs in particular: the Comprehensive Educational Digital Information System, Accompany, Bridges of Equality and Return to School. But they also want to know if there are new projects under evaluation.
"So that it is not too late, it is not enough to be outraged. That is why the 2022 school year has to start with all the boys and girls in the classrooms," said deputy Martín. And he added: “Today we clearly see what we warned of in a timely manner: the educational policy of the pandemic failed, if we understand by policy to be ahead of events, to plan, to attend to the diversities of the context, to look at what is happening in the world, to articulate and build consensus.
The text speaks of estimates that 1.5 million dropped out of classes over the course of the pandemic and virtual classes. From the Government, however, in recent weeks they have spoken of half a million children who have not been able to return to the school system.

The controversy of Soledad Acuña's phrase about school dropout
The debate accelerated last week after the Minister of Education of the City of Buenos Aires Soledad Acuña said that "after two years, it is too late to go looking for the children, those children are surely already lost in a corridor. of a village, they either fell into drug trafficking or had to go to work". And she clarified that "obviously you have to try." In that same statement, she questioned the lack of official data at the national level.
Questioning Soledad Acuña for her sayings
From Kirchnerism they quickly came out to question it. The Minister of National Education, Jaime Perczyk, assured that "it is never too late for all the children to be in school" and provided the figure of 500 thousand young people still not going back to school.
That is the information that the Deputies are demanding today to know the disaggregation and also see how each district is acting to achieve its reconnection with the school.
