On Monday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué and the president of the General Council of Education (CGE), Alicia Fregonese, led the signing of two agreements with the goal of continuing to strengthen joint work between the Province and the Municipality regarding public education policies.
One of the agreements involved the Concordia Robotics Club, adding the local proposal to formal education spaces. This will allow the Robotics Club's coach teachers to allocate teaching hours in NINA schools, obtaining the corresponding points in their professional records.
This educational format is distinguished by its inclusive pedagogical approach, which seeks to expand educational quality and foster 21st-century skills from a comprehensive perspective.
It is worth remembering that the Concordia Robotics Club already has more than 300 graduates and has established itself as a key space for the technological and socio-emotional development of the city's children. The initiative continues to grow with the goal of transforming realities and opening new opportunities for future generations.
The second agreement is related to the development of public policies for strengthening Early Childhood Centers, with 4 and 5-year-old classrooms, and also advancing in the universalization of 3-year-old classrooms.
INVESTMENT
In his remarks, Azcué highlighted the implementation of different programs and projects related to education. “The Robotics Club is one of them, where we have doubled the number of young people attending.”
“We have invested this year despite it being very complex, where we municipalities have suffered a lot from the drop in tax collection and have not had the resources we expected,” added the mayor.
In that context, he stated that under the current administration “we have provided tools to our residents so that they can develop and grow based on their effort and their own merit.” But, he pointed out, “that is not enough if we do not work together, in an articulated way, where whether it is the responsibility of the Province or the municipality matters less and less to me.”
It is that, argued Azcué, “those children who go to school live in my city and are from Concordia, they are children of people from Concordia and we have to work so that they can be in the classroom, so that they can develop, so that they can have what they need to be part of the system. We no longer want a Concordia split in half because it is something that really hurts us a lot,” he remarked.
COMMITMENT
For her part, Fregonese thanked the opportunity to “work as a team, to deepen an articulation that we understand should be natural, because we have the educational system by law, by Constitution, you have the territoriality, that is to say, you have the schools and you also have the residents and you have the families.”
In that sense, the provincial official highlighted that joint work “is increasingly necessary every day because the complexity that Argentina is experiencing, with its levels of poverty and vulnerability, requires us to work side by side.”
“The governor especially believes that the way out is through education and I have never seen a governor so committed to education,” she concluded.
PUBLIC POLICY
Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, upon taking the floor, expressed the conviction that “education is the public policy par excellence and it is also a preventive health policy, so everything we can do to collaborate from the Deliberative Council, we will do.”
For her part, the Coordinator of the Robotics Club, Licentiate Andrea Solari, highlighted: “We are proud of what is being achieved. This is a great step for our city and, especially, for the future of the children who wish to continue learning. As public servants, we have the duty to make it possible.”
The meeting was held at the Convention Center and was attended by the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide; the Undersecretary of Sports, Ivana Pérez; the Undersecretary of Human Development Roberto Niez; the Undersecretary of Education Carlos Gatto; the Departmental Director of Schools, Julio Barrios; the Undersecretary of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects Leandro Garbarino; the Director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy Pedro Kohn and representatives of the Child Development Centers of Concordia; among others.
