Together, teachers and government, we are building a better future for the nation, a biochemist by training, who worked as a teacher at the University of San Carlos, was revealed from the Vice President’s account.

For her part, the country’s Minister of Education, Annabella Geraca, sent a message via social media, in which she stressed that childhood, adolescence and youth are the priority in that portfolio.

Al-Malik also emphasized that teachers are the most important actors and the main driver of educational progress.

He stressed that, contrary to some perceptions derived from negative behavior among some, this sector does not enjoy privileges.

The official described that the conditions in which they carry out their work often require true heroism.

The minister promised to continue the struggle to improve the conditions and atmosphere in which they practice their profession.

Geraka stated that he took the opportunity to deny the “malicious” rumors circulating, explaining that they said they would stop paying the special annual bonus corresponding to the month of June, which is ridiculous.

He confirmed that the reward was disbursed in full and on time, pointing out that they announced the cancellation of the support programs, but on the contrary, they were strengthened and increased.

He asked teachers not to allow themselves to be deceived “by those who seek to benefit at your expense.”

He asked for support in a task he described as critical, noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has hit the educational community hard, leaving boys and girls in primary schools suffering from alarming cognitive deficits.

He pointed out that for this reason they are implementing the most important project for 2024, which is the learning standardization.

“United, we will strive to achieve common goals: an educated, happy and well-nourished childhood, adolescence and youth,” the owner said.

Guatemala has given teachers paid leave since 2006 under a government agreement on this day.
