No More Denied Students, No to Plan Juarez in Oaxaca
Plan Juarez in Oaxaca
Adriana writes:
Today is August 19, 2005 and I am in Oaxaca City Mexico, one of the places most visited by tourists in my country. Since last night, the streets have been circled by police of all types; uniformed police, undercover police, military police, police with helmets, wooden batons and gases all to protect the governors from many states in Mexico who were meeting in Oaxaca City.
I was in the Carmen Plaza and I heard whistling and the chants were getting louder, “…education first for the children of the workers, education later for the children of the rich….” I quickly walked to encounter the march of students of the UABJO (Benito Juárez Autonomous University of Oaxaca), youth no older than 25 years that were walking in two lines, in the middle of the march was the students that were carrying large signs accusing the director of the university, Neri, of using Plan Juarez to decrease the quality of the education. Some of the main points of this plan are: privatize the education, increase the tuition, decrease the number of students, eliminate the students´ rights to elect their director, and other such cutbacks in overall quality of the education.
