CRISIS DE LA EDUCACION EN EL MUNDO

Por ITSMANIA PINEDA PLATERO

Resulta imposible sustraer del enfoque global de problemas de economía, política, inseguridad, pobreza y causas colaterales que rodean desde hace muchas décadas a nuestros niños y niñas, los cambios sociales y políticos en el mundo han agudizado la problemática de la educación a nivel mundial, que repercute aumentando los índices de analfabetismo, deserción escolar y aumenta la falta de oportunidades de los menores. Según la UNESCO estas causas sacrifican a nuestros niños y niñas, mas recrudecidos en países tercer mundistas y que con más crudeza hoy vivimos los hondureños con la crisis educativa. Hace dos días una noticia consterno al mundo entero una maestra se quito la vida el motivo fue la falta del pago de su salario y sus hijos quedaron en abandono.

Para los entendidos en la materia concuerdan que la pérdida de valores morales y espirituales en el hogar degradan al ser humano, pero es en el hogar en donde se definen las acciones nobles o delictivas del individuo. Los centros educativos tendrán como objetivo fundamental fortalecer las acciones preventivas y colaborar con los padres para definir su conducta. Si bien es cierto el estado no puede ser un ente opositor a la familia, pero los conflictos armados y políticos, arrastran a los menores y quitan el accesos a la educación, un caso que podríamos mencionar es la situación que impera en el sector del bajo aguan, decenas de niños caminan en calles de tierra desprotegidos y sin tener las condiciones en salud, nadie se pregunta que está pasando con los ellos y su situación de seguridad mental el estrés postraumático que sufren los menores producto de ver violencia.

Las nuevas formas de reclutamiento forzoso de personas con los crímenes trasnacionales la trata de niños y niñas que obliga a los menores a integrar bandas delictivas o ser víctimas de prostitución infantil no están focalizadas en los estados como prioridades para ayudar a los niños y niñas, de hecho los medios de comunicación del mundo comentan la situación de violencia que vivimos los Hondureños pero nadie enfoca los efectos secundarios y las desviaciones que padecerán años después nuestros niños as.

La violencia vista desde todas sus facetas aunada a la turbulencia economía podría privar a decenas de millones de niños as de tener oportunidades en el sector educativo. También mejorar estas condiciones ayudaría a los menores en cualquier país del mundo a obtener más oportunidades y salir con ello de la pobreza, y de sistemas sociales que solo excluyen a los mas pobres. Según la UNESCO, más de 70 millones de niños están sin escolarizar en el mundo. . A esto hay que sumarle poca la importancia que se da a la educación artística hoy en día relegada al olvido, por el futbol o por la televisión, por la droga, pero decía Platón: “ que la música puede hacer de una nación una gran potencia o reducirla la más cruel de las miserias la incultura.”

   • WOMEN AND VIOLENCE
     BY ITSMANIA PINEDA PLATERO
     
     
     Sociology says that the family is the foundation of society, but we see today, a household, destroyed, disconnected, broken, by the daily violence that is sprawling and manifests itself in different ways against us women, as show the statistics of the organizations that defend the rights of women and the United Nations, with the greatest impact as a result of the military coup and religious. A matricentrista home, where the woman is the center of everything. Man suffers abuses and often faced the rebellion of the children. It is a stark reality. "If the core of society is the family, we have to live with this moral poverty, a broken society", with broken homes where the head is a woman and therefore the children grow up only with the support of the mother completely disintegrated. So that we are scared if our "core social and family can not be called" in a neoliberal society.
     
     In domestic and family violence, attacked the house is the place where most stars in the attacks, including cases in which women were not living with the aggressor. The house was a prime setting for family and couple relationships where the perpetrator acts with greater freedom and women, young adult or girls are more helpless.
     
     Other sites where the attacks occur are: the offender's home, another relative or acquaintance. Women are attacked in public places, reflecting the impunity of these violent actions and the prevailing social legitimacy. Crimes against sexual freedom and honesty (rape and attempted rape and abduction and rape) have also grown.
     
     Of note is the high number of men detained for this offense, which is the 4th cause of detention or imprisonment. It is a form of crime that arouses great relevance within the undiscounted news events that produces anxiety in the family, community and widespread panic throughout society. For many it is the result of poverty and corruption galloping freely in the country.
     
     The proliferation in the loss of moral and spiritual values in the home. The degradation of the human being to his slightest expression, impunity, culture of violence, income inequality, lack of exercise and application of laws allowing some urgent legal reforms because the existing "e unadaptable are inadequate to reality Current criminal ".
     
     The absence of an adequate social policy to prevent the application of a more ineffective strategy of prevention and repression, neglect the social projects that help to offset the rise offense against us women.
     
     The legitimacy of the use of force as a means of conflict resolution makes it an acceptable social behavior in the absence of state capacity to maintain social order in the country. "The sensationalism and red note" is the best weapon making mock justice governance and institutional integrity ", normalizing violence and non-governmental security phenomenon that is" private "campaigns directing violence to women and children as solutions to everyday conflicts, self defense being the only alternative left. Which translates as an increase in crime involving Honduran women as a new criminal profile in the different contexts of society, regardless of social class, in the management of the modern state and the social psychology of a people the verge of rebellion or cannibalism.
     
     Whether natural or human violence is defined as "the use or threatened use of physical force or psychological harm with intent" (Buvinic, Morrison and Shifter, 1999) and in its various manifestations (murder, robbery, kidnapping , domestic violence, rape). Violence from the point of view of human rights is an evil in itself. It is the loss of years of mental health of the population, is absorbing permanent life on the planet, at all times men and women have tried to avoid it, not accept it as a reality that lies dormant in all areas of life daily as the family itself.
     
     The violence is a product of our own fears, we are children of it, practice it and use it when we deem it necessary, in the home, business, social, trade union, political, human rights organizations including, where we exercise power, control , authority even from women leaders. That does not mean we should accept it without any qualms. More than ever, women assume a more aggressive role in the different fields of our society, making us more vulnerable to crime, to the legislative indifference and to the increasing number of impunity and social and political insolaridad.
     
     For all women who quietly dignified living off humiliated, assaulted being victims of violence. Of the more than 500 victims of femicide and violence in Honduras. For all of us in the beautiful mujers International Women's Day is this gift,

Honduras Weekly WELCOM ITSMANIA PINEDA PLATERO

Honduras Weekly would like to welcome Itsmania Pineda Platero as the latest member of our team of writers. Itsmania is a professional journalist who lives in Tegucigalpa. She blogs at Xibalba Arte y Cultura, and she is a vocal defender of human rights and freedom of expression in Honduras, and as such we value her insights on these complex and important issues.

Additionally, Itsmania and her non-profit group, Xibalba, which she founded in 1989, have a tremendous amount of experience working with youths who have become involved with illegal drugs and gangs in Honduras and have suffered discrimination and abuse for the way they dress, think, and act.

Itsmania has tirelessly worked for more than two decades to try and help these young Hondurans by providing educational and job training opportunities for them to re-integrate into Honduran society. Simultaneously, she has courageously fought to protect these individuals against inhumane treatment by authorities.

This expertise with Honduras' troubled youths represents a wealth of knowledge and understanding which Itsmania brings to the table as a writer, and we hope she will liberally share it with our broader English-speaking audience.

We accept that Itsmania's perspectives and opinions may be discomforting to some. But we see this as necessary if what we seek is an honest and open conversation about the problems that plague Honduras. Which we do. Otherwise, we relegate ourselves to living in denial, and then we can never hope to find and implement authentic solutions.

Oh, by the way... Itsmania has been nominated by for the Netizen Prize -- sponsored by Reporters Without Borders and Google -- for her work to fight against government censorship, particularly as it relates to freedom of expression online. Please consider voting for her at www.youtube.com/rsfinternet?x=us-en_showcase_58_7

A hunger strike is a tool for fighting against violence. It consists of depriving oneself of any type of nutrition in order to reclaim certain rights that have been denied and do away with certain laws or norms that the hunger striker considers illegitimate. A hunger strike can have specific duration or can be unlimited. In the case of the latter, the final outcome would be death from starvation, which would occur 60 to 90 days from the start of the strike. But perhaps some people do know what it is to feel hunger, and so for that reason they cannot understand those who go on hunger strikes or the causes for which they strike. Those of us who are familiar with hunger, we recognize it when we feel it in our stomach. When we experiment with hunger, generally it is not a problem to eliminate it -- assuming, of course, we're able to find something to eat.

 But for many Hondurans, hunger is interminable; it produces cramps in the stomach, back pains, and headaches... your throat has to work harder to swallow saliva. It causes anxiety, insomnia, and it keeps you in a state of anger; you want to forget that it exists. But when hunger turns into pain, you also feel it deeply in your heart. Your heart beats more rapidly. At nights, you want to cry. And when the pain overwhelms you, you get dizzy and start to hallucinate, and you are no longer able to think clearly. Then the pain hits you in your very soul. Your soul feels, it discerns, and it warns. And then your mind begins to plot strange things. For those who never experience hunger, these plots are called "criminal acts".

You steal a chicken, then a cell phone. Since you do not wish to have the hunger pains again, you seek drugs to help you numb yourself. You wish to stop living in poverty, and you start to desire more than you have. Later, you go out and purchase a plasma TV, a laptop computer... so you can be like everyone else. Others might think about possessing a gun... so you can eat more... or a car, even if it means stealing it. Some might think this is not enough and that they have to hurry up and acquire lots of money, hire people to drive you around, or perhaps recruit others to do your bidding and guarantee that one additional tortilla.

Little by little, hunger enables you to get ahead. Many, though, will end up in prison because of that one chicken.

Yet, others will never go to prison because of the money they inherited from their families. Even though they  were so hungry that they consumed everyone else's food, they are blessed because justice never seems to touch them. People look up to them because they are important men in society. These are men who live and can never satisfy their hunger for power. They become blinded, they don't listen, they're unable to smell, they no longer feel pain, they don't converse. They only know how to give orders.

These men will live out their lives crushing those who hunger and thirst for justice. That  hunger, as I said, first manifests itself as pain, then... death. (3/5/13) (image courtesy Internet)

She is the founder of a human rights group in Honduras called Xibalba known for its work with youth who have become members of gangs. Itsmania Pineda Platero has been nominated for the annual Netizen Prize, sponsored by Reporters Without Borders and Google, for her work to fight against government censorship, particularly as it relates to freedom of expression online.

Editor's Note: Teachers in Honduras sometimes go on hunger strikes to protest government policies or inaction with regard to their demands for payment of their salaries, or because they've been suspended for striking for payment of their salaries. There was a hunger strike by teachers in September 2008. There was another one in May 2011. Parents of students who are unable to attend school because of the teacher strikes also go on hunger strikes. One of these occurred in May 2010.
