The rector has received two threats this year Georgina Deluquez Torregrosa and he became even more worried when he learned of the criminal attack of which the rector of the IE Number 8 of Maicao, Hader Enrique Escobar Martíneza bloody incident that occurred during the night of Friday, June 21, so she says she is very afraid because she believes they are going to murder her.
He assures that, “The Wayuu indigenous authorities who own the territory seem as if schools were the only way of life and have, in my opinion, gotten involved in fights, even among themselves, leaving teachers and students in the middle of these disputes over contracts that they have. what to do with school transportation”.
She states that the threats she has received are because she steps on many keys “There are some elements that seek to appropriate, to make rural education their business. I do have fear for my life, but I don’t want to leave my job. In the last four years I have been threatened twice, threatened with death and I have filed complaints with the Prosecutor’s Office.”.
The rector specifies that she has denounced in defense of education, of these children, making the serious situation known to the Ombudsman’s Office, the Attorney General’s Office, the Secretary of Education and the mayor at the time. “And at night I received a text message telling me to stay still, not to put his problem into his problem anymore because he needed it more in a school than in a cemetery. I received the last threat on January 17”.
He says he is very afraid for his life.I went to the professor’s funeral accompanied by the National Police; Although I don’t like it because I am a free person to have to walk with two police officers at my side. But I had to do it, because this is not about games, but I’m not going to lock myself up either and I don’t want to leave. umbrella, I do not want to go from here. Of course, I want it to be clear to everyone, I don’t want to leave and I don’t want to stay silent, the truth is that what is done wrong must be reported.”.
He also claims that, “At the time of joining the teacher, he must pay fees to work there. Some pay from 300 thousand to 500 thousand pesos per month”. He warns that this is happening in different educational institutions in rural areas with influence in communities of the Wayuu ethnic group, in La Guajira.
The principal adds that there is a shortage of school transport and when attempts have been made to promote the use of bicycles or the use of the noble donkey, the authority says that this cannot be done, it has to be a car and the teachers who come to work here already know this condition and have to pay the quota.I resist that, but the teachers agree to those claims”.
In the middle of his social complaint, the late professor referred to, saying that “a pacifying man, without blemish, a man of good dialogue, of very good acceptance. He didn’t have problems with anyone. No one knows yet that he has received a threat, but it is clear. The desire was to get it out of the way, so let the authorities investigate.”.
“She believes that the professor surely received some threat.”I think there must have been something, but the teacher did not report it, perhaps because he did not believe it or it did not seem important to him. I consider that in La Guajira things cannot continue to be naturalized, that children’s food is wasted, that school transportation is used for everything, except to satisfy the children’s need for transportation, and that it is not recognized that the ministry of Education has established it as a permanence strategy, not as a reward”.
Finally, she said that she wants this complaint to reach the presidency of the Republic if possible. “Many things are happening here that I know that the higher government is unaware of. A life has just been lost and the teacher did not deserve that.”.
