The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Employment and the union organizations SIDI, ANPE, CCOO, UGT and CSIF present at the Education Sector Roundtable reached an agreement this Wednesday to reduce the bureaucratic and administrative burden currently borne by the teaching staff of the school centers in the Region of Murcia that allow a better distribution of time in the tasks to be carried out.
Councilor Víctor Marín chaired the meeting of the Board in which this pact was reached, highlighting that “it improves the well-being of teachers and will allow them to dedicate themselves to teaching, which is what is really important, minimizing the time they spend to other tasks.
«This important agreement is added to others such as the implementation of 35 hours per week reached last May, the result of consensus with the unions, and which respond to the regional policy of reinforcing the prestige of teachers and improving the attention to the students,” highlighted the counselor.
The regional manager explained that the first point of the agreement is to promote the dignity of the teacher’s main function, valuing their work, in documents, instructions and possible publications, both institutional and union-wide.
In addition to simplifying the process of justifying absences, medical leaves and staff permits, the agreement includes advancing in carrying out these procedures electronically as well as automating procedures related to programs and reports, among others.
Documents of a pedagogical nature will also be simplified in order to avoid duplication, and the documentation that each tutor has to fill out to refer the diagnosis of the students to Guidance will be reduced.
Likewise, work will be done on computer development that allows academic records to be issued by electronic means in order to progressively reduce the use of stamped paper by educational centers, and a space will be created in the private Educarm profile of each teacher. that serves as a repository of documents, titles and other possible merits that can be used for use in the procedures convened by the Ministry.
The Bureaucratic Simplification Working Group of the teaching staff of the Region of Murcia will hold at least one working meeting in the months of January, March and June 2024 to monitor the implementation of the measures agreed during the course 23- 24 and, where appropriate, study of new proposals.
