Colegio de Profesores llama a paro para el 11 y 12 de noviembre (El Mercurio)

El magisterio pidió a todos los docentes del país que no asistan esos días a los establecimientos educacionales, para así apoyar las exigencias del sector púbico por un aumento salarial digno.
Domingo 9 de Noviembre de 2008 14:01 El Mercurio OnlineSANTIAGO.- Jaime Gajardo, presidente del Colegio de Profesores de Chile, junto a Jorge Abedrapo, presidente del Regional Metropolitano del Magisterio, informó este domingo que la Asamblea Nacional Extraordinaria definió paralizar los dias martes 11 y miércoles 12 de noviembre en exigencia de un reajuste salarial digno."Llamamos a Paro Nacional a todos los profesores de este país los días 11 y 12 de noviembre, llamamos que todos actúen bajo este instructivo y así potenciemos la mesa del sector público y tomen mayor fuerza estas negociaciones; este es un acuerdo nacional y el paro significa no ir a los establecimientos educativos durante el día", dijo Gajardo, agregando que "hemos participado activamente en la negociación, pero ahora nuestro involucramiento será mucho mayor".Otra definición tomada por los casi 200 dirigentes a nivel nacional que son parte de la Asamblea Nacional del Magisterio, es "que la crisis que hoy día amenaza al mundo no puede recaer en los trabajadores. Con esto decimos que el Gobierno si quiere demostrar que está porque no paguen el costo los trabajadores, debe atenerse al petitorio del sector público"."También hemos definido que como gremio, como Colegio de Profesores, no vamos a firmar nada si no se les paga a todos los trabajadores del país", añadió Gajardo, refiriéndose a la realidad de los profesores del sector particular subvencionado y corporados, que pese a que a sus sostenedores se les reajusta y aumenta la subvención, estos no están obligados a expresar ese reajuste en los sueldos de los maestros."Tiene que haber una cláusula en el proyecto de ley que se va a enviar al Parlamento, que diga que esto afectará a los profesores del sector particular subvencionado y corporados, para que se haga justicia con esos trabajadores", sintetizó Gajado.De esta manera el Colegio de Profesores definió llamar al Paro Nacional del Sector Público, convocando "a que los profesores nos concentremos el martes a las 11:30 horas en la Plaza de Armas y de ahí marchar a un punto que aún está por definir"."En tanto, el miércoles convocaremos a una sola gran concentración, que está por determinarse y a nivel del país en todos los centros cívicos de cada ciudad habrá concentraciones", explicó Gajardo.

SIMCE FOR SOPHOMORES IS CALLED OFF UNTIL FRIDAY.

Lunes 10 de noviembre de 2008 La Estrella de Iquique.

Postergan prueba Simce para Segundos Medios
La seremi de Educación Alejandra Carrera Yentzen, anunció que por instrucciones del Ministerio de Educación, se decidió posponer en Iquique y el resto del país, la aplicación de las pruebas Simce, para los alumnos de 2° año medio que se debía realizar mañana martes.

La decisión se tomó para resguardar que la información sobre el desempeño de los estudiantes de cada establecimiento educacional, que entrega esta herramienta de medición, sea aplicada en una situación de absoluta normalidad escolar.

La posibilidad de que esta prueba no se desarrolle en forma normal en algunos establecimientos, tendría un impacto negativo en la calidad de la información de resultados que entrega anualmente, a nivel nacional, regional y comunal. La nueva fecha de aplicación será el próximo viernes 14 de noviembre, siendo 4.556 alumnos, pertenecientes a 48 liceos de Tarapacá los que rendirán la prueba nacional.
