\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nDuring his intervention, he explained that the evaluation process went directly from stage four to six because, as he indicated, the Ministry of Education was not prepared to develop stage five, corresponding to the knowledge test.\n\n\"And so it was proven. The platforms collapsed for not having enough equipment,\" Espinal affirmed, pointing out that the situation occurred due to the simultaneous access of thousands of users without adequate foresight from the educational authorities.\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nHe also indicated that distortions occurred in the formation of the evaluation teams, citing cases in which counselors were assigned to evaluate teachers at the initial level, despite the fact that the evaluation peers should have belonged to the same professional profile.\n\nAs part of her observations, the leader presented experiences recorded at the Duarte Educational Center, an institution she has directed for 22 years, where she assured she had verified several of the inconsistencies reported.\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nFinally, Espinal warned that the Fuerza Magisterial current will remain vigilant against any irregularities detected during the development of the teacher evaluation in the different demarcations of the country.\n\n\"We, as a movement, will have to keep a close watch on every situation that arises in our jurisdiction, because after the process is over, we will have to take action,\" he stated.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
