"Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind" – Progressive Movement Warns

The Progressive Movement of Teachers and Nursery School Teachers has issued a statement condemning the passage of the new teacher and educational work evaluation system by the Plenary of the Parliament. The movement characterizes the imposition of the system as authoritarian, as there was no substantial dialogue with teachers and educational organizations. It points out that the director's involvement in the evaluation is a political choice of control and not a pedagogical reform, while the lack of agreement with employees violates labor law. The Progressive Movement expresses its concern about the negative impact of the new system on working relationships and the quality of education. It emphasizes that the government ignored the warnings and positions of teachers, choosing the path of imposition and rupture. The movement pledges to continue the fight for a democratic and pedagogically sound education. The statement concludes with the warning that authoritarian plans are doomed to failure and that the victims will be children and teachers.
