Note from CCOO:
In the midst of turmoil by the disclosure of illegal collection of fees in charter schools, appears in a regional media a confession from the CEO of the company Longevity Corporation, which manages the Colegio San Antonio de Padua, announcing to parents not only the will to continue charging fees at the center but increased them.
This decision shows that the interest of the company's return on its investment, which would seem logical for business hotels in the Canaries but that devalue education as a right.
We find it obscene that you take for granted the collection of illegal fees when schools are publicly funded.
The collection of contributions economic acts as a filter to select the students socially
CCOO has been reporting similar events for years and responsible to the Ministry of Education, Training and Employment of these practices have been extended with impunity.
Councillor Sotoca can not remain indifferent to these statements of the company and to the scandals in some private schools, concluded that appear these days in the media.
It's time to urge to investigate and, where appropriate, to withdraw the concert centers that break the law repeatedly.
This will distinguish aided schools that comply scrupulously with the law those who break it.
