"From Fundación Educacional Oportunidad we call on the legislature to not only support this bill and achieve the necessary consensus to be enacted into law, but also to increase and equalize resources with public schools, in order to move towards quality education for all children in our country, without distinction of any kind".
Mr. Director,
Based on the report recently broadcast by Mega's Ahora Noticias, which shows the reality experienced by kindergartens administered by municipalities or foundations via transfer of funds (VTF), we call on the legislature to ensure that the draft Law on Equity in Kindergarten Education has transversal support and is promptly enacted into law, a necessary step to begin to level the playing field and narrow the gaps between the different institutions that provide early education in our country.
The amount of public funding that a kindergarten receives, and therefore the opportunities that we provide to the children who attend that establishment, should not depend on who administers it (Junji, Integra, or VTF). For those children, there is no difference whatsoever, and neither should there be for the State.
Fundación Educacional Oportunidad calls on the legislature to not only support this bill and achieve the necessary consensus to be enacted into law, but also to increase and equalize resources with public schools, in order to move towards a quality education for all children in our country, without distinction of any kind.
