Abrir el debate educativo

Manifestación de maestros y profesores en el centro de Barcelona convocada por los sindicatos Ustec, CGT, InterSindical, COS y CNT.

El curso escolar ha comenzado con una convocatoria de huelga fracasada y eso debería hacer meditar a sus convocantes sobre la necesidad de reconducir la situación, porque el modelo de confrontación que han seguido solo conduce a la deslegitimación de los sucesivos intermediarios, incluida, como se ha visto, la propia Ustec. El sindicato mayoritario desautorizó el primer acuerdo de Educación con UGT y CCOO y se lanzó a un pulso con Educación con la convocatoria de huelgas y movilizaciones que alteraron por completo el final del curso y castigaron sobre todo a los alumnos. Todos vimos que lo que se dirimía era también un pulso por el poder dentro del sector. Pero el acuerdo de mejoras salariares y aumento de plantillas que Ustec pactó fue también rechazado por la mayoría de los docentes consultados. Pirómanos alcanzados por el fuego. Al final, lo que queda es una gran crisis de confianza. Hay que salir de ese bucle.
