… EDUCATION FOR PEACE …<\/p>\n

An article from Cambio de Michoac\u00e1n<\/a> (translation by CPNN)<\/p>\n

The Economic and Social Council of Michoac\u00e1n presented a citizen initiative this Thursday at the State Congress in Morelia to reform the state Education Law and establish a culture of peace as a guiding principle of the education system. This was proposed F\u00e1tima Conde Moreno, during the official ceremony.<\/p>\n

The proposal aims to incorporate a culture of peace as a mandatory subject at the basic and upper secondary education levels, with the purpose of ensuring that education contributes to rebuilding the social fabric. F\u00e1tima Conde explained that the initiative arises in response to problems of violence in school and community settings, and the need for conflict resolution.<\/p>\n

During the event, Representative Reyes Galindo Pedraza, coordinator of the Labor Party’s Parliamentary Group, welcomed the proposal and pointed out that Michoac\u00e1n has citizen participation mechanisms that allow anyone to submit initiatives to the Congress without requiring the collection of signatures, unlike at the federal level.<\/p>\n

For his part, Eduardo Orihuela, president of the Michoac\u00e1n Center for Social Studies (CESMICH), indicated that building peace requires preventive actions starting in education. He maintained that addressing violence solely through reaction is limited. Similarly, Jes\u00fas Vivanco Rodr\u00edguez, president of the Together for Michoac\u00e1n Network, expressed his support for the initiative.<\/p>\n

The initiative was referred to the State Congress for analysis and eventual discussion in committees, where its viability will be determined and, if applicable, its incorporation into the current regulatory framework, so it is expected that the legislative process will continue in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
