Last time, people were told to go and sell their dollars, it turned out that the dollar depreciated from 13 to 16 rather.

We need a law that will hold the Governer and Minister of Finance liable if you mislead the public and they lose money.

Unas 2,000 personas marcharon por las calles de San Salvador el sábado 19 de octubre para protestar contra los recortes presupuestarios que el Gobierno de Nayib Bukele ha planificado para las áreas de Salud y Educación en 2025. La marcha fue convocada por movimientos sindicales del sector salud y educación, después de que el Ministerio de Hacienda anunciara al final de septiembre el proyecto de presupuesto que recorta 31 millones de dólares a Educación y 90.8 millones al ramo de Salud. A la marcha asistió Idalia Zúniga, secretaria general del Frente Magisterial Salvadoreño (FMS) y directora del Complejo Educativo República del Perú, en Mejicanos. Zúniga, profesora de educación pública desde agosto de 1992, fue despedida de su cargo dos días después de haber asistido a la marcha.

“Es un castigo que me están propinando a raíz de que el día viernes (18) no acepté firmar un documento en donde decía que teníamos que desmontar la marcha y no asistir porque se iba a instalar una mesa de diálogo”, dijo a El Faro. La docente cuenta que ese día fue citada a una reunión por el ministro de Educación, José Mauricio Pineda, y al llegar a las instalaciones del ministerio se encontró también con la comisionada presidencial del Gobierno, Carolina Recinos. Ambos, dice Zúniga, solicitaron que no se hiciera la marcha y que las convocatorias se anularan. El Faro buscó la respuesta de la comisionada Recinos a través de llamadas y correo electrónico pero no hubo respuesta.

El lunes 21 de octubre, Zúniga publicó vídeos en TikTok donde denunció la supresión de su plaza de trabajo. Su despido es la culminación de un proceso que empezó el 22 de agosto, cuando la notificaron de la destitución de su cargo como directora. Zúniga lo atribuye a “motivaciones políticas” que recaen en su actividad como miembro del FMS, una organización creada en 2016.

No es poca cosa una marcha de 2,000 personas en un país que lleva dos años y siete meses con garantías constitucionales suspendidas. La última manifestación multitudinaria ocurrió en septiembre de 2021, cuando diferentes sectores protestaron por la ley Bitcoin, la purga de jueces y la sentencia que permitía la reelección. Desde entonces, el Gobierno ha instalado sistemáticamente retenes en los accesos a la capital cada vez que hay una convocatoria para una protesta.

Muchos de los asistentes marcharon vestidos de blanco, un eco de las gigantescas marchas blancas organizadas entre 1999 y 2003, en la que sindicatos de salud protestaron contra la propuesta de los gobiernos de ARENA de privatizar una parte del Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social, un sistema que da cobertura de salud a los trabajadores afiliados, que suman más de dos millones de personas, según un informe de contribución del ISSS de 2023.

El descontento comenzó luego de que el ministro de Hacienda, Jerson Posada, presentara ante la Asamblea Legislativa la propuesta de Ley de Presupuesto General de Estado 2025. Posada explicó que este nuevo presupuesto suspende los incrementos salariales, prohíbe nuevas plazas de trabajo y congela el pago de escalafones para el rubro de Salud y Educación. Los escalafones son un sistema de incentivos económicos establecidos tanto en la Ley de la Carrera Docente como en la Ley de Creación de Escalafón del Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social. Ambos contemplan la posibilidad de que un servidor público suba de categoría y por tanto de salario, según los méritos profesionales, así como los años de antigüedad.

En el caso del escalafón para docentes, hay seis categorías. Un profesor de nuevo ingreso empieza ganando $595 en la categoría seis. Cada cinco años puede ascender y, si pasa a la categoría cinco, tiene un aumento del 10 %.

Una semana antes de la marcha, El Faro entrevistó a Idalia Zúniga. Zúniga no sólo habló del presupuesto, sino también de un sistema de educación público precario en el que se “administra la pobreza”. Señala críticamente que, mientras el Ministerio de Defensa tiene un aumento de $53 millones para el próximo año, el gobierno propone recortes a Educación, una cartera de Estado que ya se encuentra en una situación precaria.

De aprobarse la propuesta de presupuesto 2025, ¿cuáles serían los grandes desafíos que enfrentaría la educación en el país?

El año que viene, y si permitimos que esto sea aprobado, va a haber mucha precariedad en el sistema educativo. El año pasado nos entregaron el bono de funcionamiento cuando estábamos clausurando el año escolar. Ese bono es insuficiente porque para una escuela de mil estudiantes nos dan 3 mil dólares para funcionar todo el año. Como directora yo sentía que estábamos administrando pobreza. Nos dan la instalación, tenemos a los niños de la comunidad, pero no tenemos los recursos del Ministerio de Educación y es un deber del Estado brindarlos. Entonces nos cargamos y cargamos a los padres de familia.

El año pasado una profesora tuvo que subir al techo a componer las láminas por las goteras. Así nos dejan. El próximo año va a haber mucho más abandono al sistema educativo. En cuanto al bono que nos transfiere el Ministerio va a ser menos, con este recorte que viene, o puede ser nulo y que la comunidad educativa vea cómo sale adelante. Como Frente Magisterial decimos que en El Salvador se está desmontando la escuela pública. Y no es porque tengamos malos maestros. Es porque el Ministerio de Educación, y el Estado mismo, no nos está dando los recursos necesarios para que podamos desarrollar la educación.

¿Qué hay de los estudiantes?

Se están desmontando las escuelas que funcionan en el turno de la tarde. Se han dado a la tarea, con su aparato represivo, cada director departamental, de enviar personeros a contar a los niños. Si hay menos de 28 niños entonces ese aula se cierra. Tiene que tener 28, porque eso es una normativa. Es una normativa que se elaboró hace más de 20 años, cuando la población estudiantil a nivel nacional era de 1 millón 850 mil estudiantes. Hoy apenas vamos a llegar a 1 millón 100 mil estudiantes.

Tenemos una reducción de más de 700 mil estudiantes en El Salvador. Hoy hay muchos factores por los que no tenemos niños: la natalidad ha bajado, pero también el régimen de excepción ha provocado la deserción escolar. El régimen de excepción ha provocado la migración de niños que se van fuera del país. Ha provocado también, que muchos niños tengan que ir a trabajar porque ya no está mamá ni papá y tienen que sacar adelante al hogar. Y también la pobreza. El incremento de la pobreza es también un factor importante en la disminución de los estudiantes.
