The Minister of Education, Lucy Molinar, made it clear that the educational reform promoted by the Executive is not designed to 'please' political interests or sectoral pressures, but to guarantee the future of future generations. Molinar emphasized that the proposal does not seek a hasty amendment to the Organic Law, but the construction of a new norm sustained by technical and social consensus. 'There will be no 'Calle Arriba' nor 'Calle Abajo' here,' she added. The Minister also dismissed parallel reforms in the National Assembly and assured that the Meduca will hold meetings with deputies to align criteria. In her opinion, in education 'one must do what is right, even if it is not always pleasing,' because what is at stake transcends any political calculation. The head of Meduca reported that so far, between nine and ten meetings have been held, out of a total of 18 planned until the end of December, with the participation of civil society, guilds, and political actors. 'In education, one must do what is right,' she emphasized. These statements were made during the presentation of the 2025 results and the actions planned for 2026, in which issues such as connectivity and curriculum redesign were addressed. In this context, Meduca announced that the school year will begin with 100% internet access in the country's 3,102 schools, with 58% coverage via fiber optic and 42% via satellite. 'Nobody is superfluous here,' she remarked, highlighting that at the end of the month the first stage of the process will conclude, after which the proposals will be presented to the Presidency to draw up a base document. Molinar warned that she will not back the initiative if the process is not coherent, transparent, and aligned with the real needs of youth.
