Dear friends,
As you know, as a result or consequence of the work of the Platform Spain Inclusion provincial platforms have emerged, or in the case before us, with limited scope to autonomous community of Galicia.
Beyond the fact of the birth of initiatives or platforms, it is clear that the internet links, raises awareness group and if necessary move mountains, TOGETHER PO-DE-MOS, that I have no doubt.
do not know if we ever told how Spain was born Platform Inclusion. On December 29, 2009 I was reading the newspaper at home, and I look at a story about a covenant not to know that in some education (I no idea what was going on). Seeking the draft and read and read again because I do not find in a "suspected" Pact of State were not reflected students with specific educational support needs. The havoc caused anger was, of course. A phone call to Maite Navarro (by God, we'd do without to the Moon), another Cuca, I spoke with Eve, and Inma one or two emails and parimos Platform. The work, many hours, how many people supported us, my mother. How many people worked in the shadows. How many posts at our disposal, how much diffusion. Much responsibility and few people trust us, my mother.
light of the "forgotten" our response was the Red Book of English education, the Book of Shame. And we went to the Congress of Deputies with the book in one hand and firms on the other. How I weighed the signatures in hand, how much we weigh!.
do not know if it served for something we did, good work if they served, the Pact was not signed, because our children are above political interests. Our approaches reached the office of the Minister, were reflected in documents of educational Covenant, and subsequent agreements etc ...
But above all and above all we take the head and was very clear that 5000 English families, organized spontaneously by the network, demanding and demanding respect for human rights of their children, friends and / or family and demanding and require a decent education for all, and equal opportunities.
Parents and families of children with functional diversity lift our heads and claiming rights of children. RIGHTS, AND FAVORS, AND CRUMBS. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS NO.
The price does not have more dignity and rights of our children, gives us the freedom to go ahead with the truth without mincing words, without fear or expediency.
We also decided and voted, and that is something that should be clear all political parties. Cut in education is a political price, and cut back on services or resources education of children with diversity double pay, is what they have to be clear no: lens.
Platform is and will remain in place, (we have some projects pending nationwide demonstrations soon, and unfulfilled pledges temporarily for lack of time and will tell you). Do not lose sight of movements such as those carried out by Alex in Barcelona Daddies, who filed a complaint with the Government about the lack of access to the opinion of their children's schooling, the resources not know if they are in writing, no documents give back, etc ... etc ... Anyway, what I will tell you that you do not know. Another outstanding work of the Platform, see how we shape, if we can, and how, a civil rights group of English children with functional diversity. It is a complex issue to which we are spinning.
common denominator to all initiatives and parent organization family through blogs and social networks is claim the RIGHT to an effective social and educational inclusion and children with disabilities. There are three pillars (as would Cuca) awareness, training and resources. Another type of approach is unaffordable and unacceptable: it is not included is discrimination.
We can not accept any discussion or questions the inclusion by any political representative and / or public office: Inclusion is a right and its obligation to ensure that children exercise their right to effectively and efficiently. It is the duty of every public office to enforce the existing law, and the right to inclusion are part of it, therefore do not accept or conditions or deadlines or excuses not to be compromised.
Cuca In December 2010, Agnes and I set off towards inclusion Galician Platform, in order to combine efforts, wills, people and partnerships in order to claim autonomy within our legal and administrative measures necessary for the worthy education for all.
believe it is very important to make visible the needs and demands of a group of families and children as wide as children with autism spectrum disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, communication disorders and conduct disorders. All join, and nobody on. TOGETHER PO-DE-MOS and need to be together and united in defending the right to inclusive education of our children.
This right is embodied in the everyday through the powers of the regions, so it is very important to organize a regional level. It is the way to claim that classrooms are satisfied that our children are entitled. It's time to be united. The bill for the crisis can not afford our children. Investment in educational innovation, public money, the money of all, can not occur without provision for children with special educational needs.
In the case of Galicia, was enacted Decree of multilingual schools, without any provision for children with SEN. What happens to a child in need of support or have a communication disorder and / or speech and suddenly have to learn a third of its subjects in a third language? Why a child with communication problems are not entitled to an exemption and / or adjustment of the foreign language and official language than your mother tongue?
speak of a decree of 40 million euros, 40 million dedicated to widening the gap between children with skills to make adequate progress in school, and children who require support to learn (with or without a known functional diversity, I am thinking for example a child who simply have difficulty acquiring the pace of their peers the process of reading and writing). And this is just one example.
Last November, the Galician Parliament passed a NLP unanimously on inclusive education. Yesterday
Cuca and I had the opportunity to meet with Guillermo Meijon, education spokesman for the Socialist Party in the Parliament of Galicia. A very constructive meeting where we talked about what is the reality in the classroom for a child Galician with special educational needs. Is in the process of the new Act borraodr attention to the diversity of Galicia. Guillermo deliver a document we will publish soon (when we get home), in which we recorded the basic needs considerations in different areas, in addition gave him a copy of the arguments presented to the Galician Plan disability.
This is the first in a series of contacts that we have programmed. We particularly important that the various actors who will participate in the drafting, discussion and adoption of the new decree, be clear that the decree should be respectful effectively with the principles enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Dispac .
not like us loggerhead, is that the Convention is part of our legal system legal, and not asking anything but to transpose efficiently and effectively in the classroom and in the lives of our children the principles enshrined in the Convention and signed by Spain.
not serve us rights on paper: we're married. We serve the life rights of our children, because the Human Rights if the paper only and also are passed through the sieve of the distribution of competence of the English State are neither more nor less than an ink stain on paper. And it serves.
Without the support and collaboration of all we can do little or nothing. Therefore I ask you to be vigilant, to help us in whatever might arise, and keep on adding people to the Platform, both on facebook and in the blog, we all have, the more the merrier.
Thank you all,
