They request the suspension of the 2030 Educational Transformation process
Members of the Strategic Committee of the Project-Design of the Educational Transformation Strategy 2030 sent a note to the Minister of Education, Nicolás Zárate Rojas, who occupies the title of said Committee, requesting the suspension of the process for being tainted with illegality and irregular practices, such as those referring to the mechanisms aimed at diagnoses on education in our country.
