The importance of training
Before this new news, the President of the association NACE (No To School Harassment) Carmen Cabestany declared the following in the delivery of the II Acknowledgments Say it all against bullying: “Everything will depend on that person: their moral integrity, their honesty, their humanity, their commitment and their training. And I’m not talking about a theoretical training, but a training that raises awareness and sensitizes. And, on the other hand, let us bear in mind that, if that teacher has a conflict of interest, because he needs the center to claim it the following year, it will make his task difficult. Because in schools, bullying does not like. Therefore, I believe that training should be offered to all teachers, because a single person, like a single flower, does not make spring ”
In this sense, the program approved this Monday also contemplates that, in the second four-month period of 2022, the Sector Conference will agree on the general guidelines and guidelines of the basic training content curriculum that contribute to the preparation and development of specialized training, in the field of fundamental rights of childhood, aimed at professionals whose activity requires regular contact with minors.
