… EDUCATION FOR PEACE …<\/p>\n

An article from Edomex Quadratin<\/a> (translated by CPNN)<\/p>\n

In the State of Mexico (EMX), 1,114 primary, secondary and upper secondary level teachers have been certified as School Mediators by the Judicial Branch of the State of Mexico, a strategy that has allowed to strengthen the culture of peace and improve coexistence within educational institutions. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Mario Alberto Monta\u00f1o Delgado , Toluca regional director of the Public Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (MASC), explained that this figure allows schools to have trained personnel to detect, address and channel conflicts before they escalate to more serious situations. <\/p>\n

He explained that School Mediators have tools to intervene in problems involving students, teaching staff and mothers or fathers, promoting dialogue and the peaceful resolution of differences. <\/p>\n

They address school conflicts <\/strong><\/p>\n

“The greatest achievement is that today they have the largest and broadest structure, institutionally speaking, of certified facilitators,\u201d Monta\u00f1o Delgado noted, highlighting the growth of this support network in the educational field.<\/p>\n

Mediation as a tool for nonviolence and culture of peace<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there progress towards a culture of peace in Mexico?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(Continued from left column)<\/p>\n

He indicated that each certified teacher acquires a different vision about conflicts and becomes a promoter of a philosophy focused on building peace within school communities. <\/p>\n

He added that this strategy is being developed in a coordinated manner with institutions such as the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of Mexico, the State Human Rights Commission and the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM\u00e9x). <\/p>\n

Bullying, the main problem<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The official explained that School Mediators represent the first filter to prevent conflicts from reaching jurisdictional instances , with bullying being one of the main problems they face within schools. <\/p>\n

He explained that when cases exceed the capacity for mediation, the Judicial Branch intervenes , through the Public Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms , headed by Magistrate Blanca Colmenares S\u00e1nchez. <\/p>\n

In these cases, situations related to physical or material damages are addressed , as well as legal obligations arising from school conflicts. <\/p>\n

Monta\u00f1o Delgado explained that to obtain certification as a School Mediator , teachers must complete 120 hours of training, pass theoretical and practical evaluations, and subsequently renew their accreditation every five years before the Judicial Power of the State of Mexico (PJEdomex) .<\/p>\n
