| VOX Cieza, thanks the representatives of ASCOPAS and Early Care (AEPISMI) for receiving the Coordinators of our political training to exchange impressions on this important day for them | In 1992, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared December 3 as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and since then it has been celebrated every year.The motto in 2019 was: "empower people with disabilities" in the attempt to promote equal opportunities and there a great controversy began.The new Celaá Law, drafted without consensus with the educational community, has more lights than shadows, establishing, among other excessive measures, a period of 10 years for the inclusion of its students in ordinary schools and a period of 5 years to empty the schools special education.The El Buen Pastor School in Cieza, currently a regional school, welcomes 70 children with different types of disabilities and the school management declares that "children progress in special schools and not in ordinary schools, where they cannot be given the necessary attention or apply personalized therapies ", so they demand responses tailored to the needs of the group.The new educational model denies family members the right to decide and from the El Buen Pastor School they demand "INCLUSIVE EDUCATION, YES; WITHOUT ABANDONING SPECIAL EDUCATION."VOX Cieza supports all the people who are directly affected by the Celaá measures, as well as their families.
We make their demands our own and we show them our support in the achievement of their priority objectives, but the controversy continues.We show our gratitude and admiration to the volunteers and professionals of both ASCOPAS, Early Care (AEPISMI) and many others, for the great humanitarian work that they have been developing daily in Cieza for making life easier for those who have it most difficult.
