EFE\/ Rayner Pena R<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exhausted by the day, Maria Eugenia says her only motivation for teaching is to hear the children tell her that she is &#8220;pretty&#8221; or that they have learned something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, in recent statements, the Minister of Education, Yelitze Santaella, indicated that the teachers&#8217; salaries will be resolved when &#8220;the economic conditions are met.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mar\u00eda Eugenia, incredulous, clings to the only thread she has left to continue: her vocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-protest-and-carry-on\">Protest and carry on <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers (FVM), 3,185 teacher protests were registered during the 2022-2023 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marie Eugenia participated in some of them while continuing to teach because she believes that leaving the classroom, as many of her colleagues have been forced to do, affects children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I continue, I like my job, teaching, educating, being with the children. I haven&#8217;t stopped working because it is a school that has given me the desire to continue. However, we are not well paid, we have nothing,&#8221; she told EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to official figures, some 8.8 million children and adolescents gradually began the school year this week, the third that begins amid teacher protests that demand salary increases and respect for collective contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general coordinator of the NGO Community Learning Centers (Cecodap), Carlos Trapani, said that in recent years, &#8220;mosaic schedules&#8221; have been used, meaning that &#8220;in some schools, children have classes only two days a week, so teachers can do other activities to supplement their income during the other three.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, Griselda S\u00e1nchez, president of the Fordisi union, told EFE that this year, teachers are &#8220;participating according to their possibilities&#8221; since, as she assured, many do not have the money to commute to work or to eat every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-education-through-bonds\">Education through bonds <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the low salaries, Mar\u00eda Eugenia mentioned that teachers do not have health insurance or transportation vouchers and must deal with poor structural conditions in schools that make their work even harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also the problem of teachers migrating to other countries and other professions, driven by the need to increase their income, which &#8220;overburdens&#8221; those who continue to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-685259\" style=\"width:545px;height:364px\" width=\"545\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-430x286.jpeg 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-71.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The general director of Consenso Educativo and sector coordinator of Consecomerio, Fausto Romeo, speaks during an interview with EFE, on October 2, 2023, in Caracas (Venezuela).
