Teachers demand security for resuming on-site classes in Ecuador

Quito, Jan 12 (Prensa Latina) Ecuador’s National Union of Educators (UNE) demanded on Friday to the Government that the resumption of on-site classrooms must be by the time necessary guarantees be provided for the safety of the educational community.

On a press conference offered on Friday, members of the UNE’s Executive Committee suggested to the Government that in order for learning not to stop, it is necessary to lower Internet and electric energy rates to 50% of their cost in homes with students. In addition, they proposed reaching agreements with large technology companies to acquire devices as mobiles, tablets and computers at affordable prices.

The UNE further requested the Government to work on risk plans so that educational centers know how to act in view of threats of car bombs, shootings and the presence of criminal gangs.
