Pasta of the educational system


27 January 2021 - 09:29

Because in the Basque Country there is a great culinary culture, to see if this is how the theme of concerts in private centers is better understood.

Two friends go to a restaurant, one with seafood salsa, fried chipirones, clams and prawns, and the other with a “normal” tomato pasta dish. When the time of payment comes, each dish has a price based on the number of words in the menu, so whoever has requested the longest and most expensive dish asks his partner to pay him half. In short, this is the pact of private schools. Otherwise I would not have been able to eat pasta by paying for the dish with the money of your friend.

Of course there are nuances between the concerted centers; but, in short, educational concerts are a parallel educational system paid by the administration and with private management.

"The current system allows those who eat less to buy a cheap pasta, while private centers are given the opportunity to take the money from that cheap pasta and make 'bucatins' with other 'additional means'".

The pasta dish has the function of fulfilling fundamental rights, educating, growing and dignifying all people. The least he eats will give him the opportunity to pick up what he needs in life. But the current system allows those who eat less to buy a cheap pasta, and private centers are given the opportunity to take the money from that cheap pasta and make bucatins with other “additional means”. To this we add marketing and propaganda and we have all the ingredients for social imbalance.

Let the Bucatini eat and pay everything he wants out of his pocket. Giving public money to private companies is a dream of the neoliberal system. More than EUR 600 million is given directly in the CVA, with the support of the main government and opposition groups. And as if that were not enough, they want us to believe that this system is public. Of course, in Europe there are different ways of organising a public education system; but universality or the principles of free public character are the same everywhere and the concerted centres do not comply at all.

Public money should be the best possible pasta to reach as many people as possible and give more than anyone who has less or special needs to compensate for their situation. We need a system that promotes equity if we want a well-nourished and cohesive society.

The past is there to learn well-made things; but we can't always look back. We have to prepare the menu tomorrow in the Basque public school. Among all, a menu that belongs to everyone and to everyone, with pasta made in the ecological worker of each place.
