¿Por qué debería importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, así como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE).

The meeting and press conference take place on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which, in the Catholic faith tradition, commemorates the miraculous apparitions in 1531 of the Virgin Mary to an indigenous man, Juan Diego, who used roses to prove to the Bishop the apparitions were true, and which moved the Bishop to fulfill the Virgin’s request to build a church.…
