One of the announcements posted on Twitter by the Ministry of Education – probably unwittingly – says a profound lot about the state of the Cortizo administration. With WHOM did they say they met? “Our authorities.” Not the teachers’ unions. Not the owners of the private schools. Not the parents’ groups.

It’s an administration looking inward to a shrinking base rather than reaching out. MEDUCA tweet.
