Of the invited parliamentarians, the presence of Alex Paredes, a professor appointed in Arequipa (with unpaid leave), who -according to a report by Ojo Público- failed five of the six teaching tests between 2014 and 2019, is striking. , is the author of a bill that disapproval of teacher performance evaluation disappears as grounds for dismissal.
According to the aforementioned media, which accessed this information through the Transparency Law, Paredes Gonzales failed to approve, among other contests, those that allow access to the position of deputy principal and principal in public schools (2014 and 2018), and move up the ladder ( 2018 and 2019).
“In both cases, a written test and a subsequent assessment of the professional career of the applicants are applied,” the report specified.
This information not only sheds light on Paredes’ skills and aptitudes in the educational field, but also raises questions regarding his bill and his commitment to quality standards in education.
The name of Esdras Medina, congressman of the republic for the Parliamentary Unity and Dialogue bench, appears on the invitation to grant him the title of doctor honoris causa.
From August 2021 to the present month of August of this year, various congressmen, but mainly from the Magisterial Bloc (including Paredes) have been promoting bills that would weaken the resisted teacher evaluations. Among the changes they propose is to reduce the consequences for teachers who disapprove.
Paredes was part of the Commission of Education, Youth and Sports of the Congress of the Republic, but that did not prevent him from being one of the main promoters of the so-called university counter-reform that -according to experts- undermines the autonomy of the National Superintendence of University Higher Education (Sunedu).
On several occasions, Congressman Esdras Medina, formerly part of the Renovación Popular bench, has openly shown himself in favor of the university counter-reform. His defense phrase has been: “Our greatest concern is the students.”
Medina, who in his attempt to justify the counter-reform even pointed out that the Sunedu “has become a Gestapo.” However, he has never provided any hard evidence to support that accusation.
Meanwhile, the name of Miguel Ciccia, who is being investigated preliminarily for the alleged commission of the crime of illegal sponsorship, appears on the list of congressmen who signed the unconstitutional lawsuit that a group of congressmen promoted for the counter-reform to be declared constitutional.
It should be noted that the university counter-reform has been one of the laws promoted by Parliament that has been most questioned by citizens.
