The national deputy of Vox for Ceuta, Teresa López, has registered a battery of questions directed to the Government of Pedro Sánchez to clarify what the future of the Special Education schools will be, now that the Executive wants to end them, in the two cities autonomous, the only two territories without transferred subjects in Education. The Ceuta parliamentarian, who has been able to speak with different associations in the city that cater to children with special educational needs, transfers the danger that these minors will have less quality care if they end up in ordinary schools. This is the alternative that the Government has proposed with the modification of the Organic Law of Education that it has planned and that does not appeal to any of the parties involved.
According to the current draft of the law, "within ten years, practically all students with intellectual disabilities should be transferred from specialized centers to ordinary schools." However, López stresses that the Government "has not taken into account that one of the rights included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is that of children to receive special care, treatment and special education when their condition and particular situation so require ”.
Given this approach, the Vox national deputy asks the Sánchez Executive "how will he comply" with this declaration "for those children who need to be attended by various professionals in an integral way because they have very specific needs". He also asks about "how the Government has thought that special care can be offered to children with disabilities, as well as the treatment that each requires."
López, who denounces the lack of Special Education classrooms in ordinary schools in both Ceuta and Melilla, also questions "how the adaptation of the environment in ordinary schools will be carried out for those specific needs when these same centers, in many cases have higher ratios than those recommended ”. In addition, the Ceuta parliamentarian asks about the adaptation of the staff in the ordinary centers that would require special training and the ability to integrate the children and be able to carry out a class as normal ”.
"If what the Government intends is to promote the Special Education classrooms in ordinary centers, taking into account that these classrooms do not exist in two territories dependent on the Ministry of Education, such as Ceuta and Melilla, how does it intend to put them into operation at their highest level in the rest of Spain? ”asks López, questioning the viability of this project, which has not even been launched, as a pilot experience, in autonomous cities.
