Senate says Education Department in crisis


Dr. Ada Álvarez Conde


By The STAR STAFF


The Dr. Ada Álvarez Conde, At Large Senate candidate on the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) ticket said that the department of education is in crisis and the resignation of the educator Ana María García Blanco from the executive table for the execution of the Educational and REgional Autonomy for differences with the way in which the government has managed the transition is another example of that.


In a letter to Gov. Pierluisi, García Blanco said that the execution of the decentralization model has lost its way.


“The noted educator said that to remain cooperating with this project represent a moral conflict. We are speaking of the founder of the New School Institute and promoter in Puerto Rico of the Montessori. What we are seeing today represents another example of the crisis in the Department of Education, caused by an administration assaulted by partisanship.I call on the secretary of the Federal Department of Education, Dr. Miguel Cardona, to rescue the DE from the disaster that it is in,” said Álvarez Conde.


“Laat June 17, Cardona said tha the process of the decentralization of the Department of Education in Puerto Rico is going to continue independently of the governmental administration of the Senate candidate.’


My concern is that a little more than five months left in this administration of Pedro Pierluisi, the partisanship in this agency will get worse,” said the Senate señaló que el proceso de descentralización del Departamento de Educación en Puerto Rico va a continuar independientemente de la administración gubernamental en la isla. Mi preocupación es que a poco más de cinco (5) meses para que nos libremos de esta administración de Pedro Pierluisi, el partidismo que corroe a esa agencia sea peor”, expuso la candidata popular al Senado.


As an example,Álvarez Conde señaló una publicación del Centro de Periodismo said that in a publication of the Center of Investigative Journalism said that two weeks before Pierluisi created through an executive order the initiative for the Educational and Regional Autonomy Decentralization of the DE, the Office of Management and Budget had given a legal consulting contract and evaluated a proposal for services that exceeded $5 million for professional services and evaluated a services proposal that surpassed $5 million for professional services to work on the plan that evaluated the regional autonomy proposal of the Educational Regional Offices in the decision making.


“We are talking about an agency that for yours has been called one of the most politicized, and with a budget of $31.022 billones annually. For years, this has been the ATM of the New Progressive Party. You have the cases of Victor Fajardo, Julia Keleher and so many more cases of corruption, wat and politicization,” said the Senate candidate.
