"Social Educator or Professional Educator? Two profiles for the same figure. For the initiation of national agitation. "
On March 9, 2011 at the Faculty of Education, University of Bologna was held the first public meeting on the issue of recognition of the educator with the title:" Social Educator or Professional Educator? Two profiles for the same figure. For the initiation of national agitation. "
This event was organized by the student group" active training (left University) "by the patronage of the Presidency and moderated by the head of the movement Valentino Paoloni.
We have invited students to participate as speakers: Assunta Pischedda, committed to the promotion of a common table discussion on the topic with some teachers, Luke Baldwin, president of ANEP (National Association of Professional Educators), Emilia Romagna, Fabio Perretta union USB social cooperatives - Private social group United Educators Against Cuts in the district of Caralecchio di Reno (BO) and the delegate APEI (Association of Educators Pedagogists Italian) Stefania Costa we have been given directly by the group and, for personal reasons, was unable to attend. Assembly took also the Dean of the Faculty Professor. Luigi Guerra.
The meeting was held following three stages: first, it addressed the issue of division of the two figures of Social Education of Education and of Health Education and Medicine consists of the fact that social educators are excluded for years ASL and the competitions so they can not work in the public health sector. At this stage intervened and Luca Balducci Assumption Pischedda which we have active training students we asked to explain their position concerning this problem been present for years and what are their ideas and proposals to solve it, in the second part of the assembly we instead addressed the issue of marketability of a professional educator in the labor market in times of crisis and cross cuts that are destroying the communal welfare. In that regard, with Fabio Perretta union USB social sector Coop asked to explain better the system of accreditation and social private-region give us a share of the mayor's position on the issue. Set of USB to the group of United Educators Against Cuts in the district of Casalecchio we asked him to tell how they have mobilized and give us a testimonial about what it means to work in an environment with no budget and actually in danger of dying.
Here are the excerpts of their speeches.
Dean of the Faculty of Bologna Professor of Education. Luigi Guerra:
The Dean begins by specifying that the university is not firm on this issue and has distanced itself from accusations of inaction that often are driven by several parties over the Internet. In fact since 1992 the faculty had engaged in numerous battles and even some professors are now starting to work on this issue.
The principal intervention continues doing a little 'history. He explains that in the late 80's to practice as an educator was not necessary with university degree and for that reason they moved to build the power and get the academic recognition of this figure. This battle is part of a journey to reclaim the dimension in the educational welfare and after many meetings and efforts are managed to achieve recognition of the need for a degree for the teacher.
Currently, educators are still not recognized as professional services considered in making important decisions, those who are almost never coordinated educators. The fact that social educators of Education can not access the competitions of the ASL does not, in fact, that they do not have the opportunity to work within the public health sector: 90% of educators who work in local health authorities were formed from Science Education because of convention that the public health sector does so with social co-operatives can not grow in the same role-Asl. The principal
reminds us that there is almost full employment and social educators that our faculty is one that guarantees work more than others but usually this work is extremely precarious and underpaid and, besides, it is often underemployed. The problem, in fact, not only economic but political concerns the dignity of this professional.
Medicine is a strong possibility, and in 1998 there was an agreement of trade unions with the Ministry of Health in which they were defined educators and their professional qualifications and, thus, Science Education was expelled because this new figure was made by the faculty diu Medicine. The same principal has been in Rome at least 20 meetings with the confederations, but the problems were mostly politicians and strong powers revolved around the question. Following the law 509 of Education got the chance to take the course for social educators respecting the law which said that where there had been 40 claims the title of social health had also recognized in ASL and this was the first result positive of the battles fought. A few years later came a statement from the ministry in a very amicable gave an ultimatum to our faculty: either would have wiped out within a month, or medical claims have been cleared the entire course, the faculty was forced to take loans or risk losing the whole course, so the name was changed from professional educator in the social . Meanwhile
fifth title in the reform of the possibility has emerged from the regions to determine the criteria for access to the professions, Emilia Romagna, in this regard, approved the recognition of our professional social educator. The principal
concludes by recalling that the university is not a certification body accreditation body, has issued licenses, but their recognition depends on the region, the university may participate in the claim using the weapons or those that are inherent cultural conferences, seminars and awareness. Prof. Luigi War reminds us, finally, considers that an ethical need to be committed against this claim but it is not for the faculty to intervene in the speeches of the union level is rather to intervene in the tables where you claim the value of a professional.
We point out, before saying goodbye to reach another conference that he is against the abolition of the orders and here is why professional bodies do not agree with some militant groups of educators who request it instead.
Assunta
Pischedda:
To summarize the operation of the Assumption I will use what she wrote in her report of the event reported nine of his action:
"My speech after he tried to shed light on the importance of as the educator's perception of his profession, of what is passing from his self-esteem, recognition that its staff can not and should not be left to the only battle of the academics who act as parents start off on the liability, however, something that it is at the forefront of our educators. The recognition of what we are, the importance of our actions must be present before us in order to then go into the world to say what we are. But we must lead the fight together, taking into account the presence and experience in the meantime have professional health educators from the Faculty of Medicine. It should all be united, academia, the third sector, the world of associations politics must be involved beyond the corporatist ideas, must be the network that communicates and establishes the epistemological value of the educator and the educated person . But to do so should be online, and frontline educators must become active participants to promote themselves, and have to struggle to be recognized at all levels. It should point to new research that looks the welfare of the whole person and uniqueness, pointing to the report and the activation of resources inherent in the person. In short, the acceptance and recognition of the importance of the educator can not pass unless the value of the person, the educator, the customer who comes to us for help. Only if the teachers will be involved in networking with academia and the political world can we build together a real epistemological roots because we are the hands and body as well as mind, theory and practice. "
Luca Balducci (ANEP):
The President explains that ANEP Emilia Romagna is very excited to be invited to this conference because they are years trying, as an association, to enter a Science Education, states that they are within the course as representatives of the category of health professional educators. Decides to read a public letter that ANEP wrote to clarify his position on the subject matter in response to some false reports that are turned into the web. Summarize the contents of the letter in a few points: 1
. The educator is indivisible: our professionalism is not a danger in social, health, prisons and so on., But only areas of intervention of the same figure. For educators ANEP no different, but they should all be recognized under the heading of "educator professional "because the scope of action is, in fact, professional and not left to chance or common sense. The word "professional" is used to assert the scientific nature of our work.
2. The ANEP believes is appropriate to establish a code of ethics and a training program for educators and one hopes that the L-19 Classes of Education and Medicine Snt2 can find a way to jointly form the professional educator.
3. The Ministry of Health has recognized the profile of professional education thanks to ANEP that for now only has value in healthcare and then 84 from '98.
4. ANEP hopes that this figure can be defined soon in other areas: in social work through Article 12 of Law No. 128 of 2000, social health by Law 229 of 1999 and in prison.
5. The association claims the need to build a professional educators.
Fabio Perretta (USB):
The delegate for the union USB offers us an analysis on the welfare implications of the application of territorial and regional standards on accreditation of private and social. The privatization of social understanding as a piece that manages the local welfare, born from the 90s. In fact, 89 wins, started the privatization of public services that pass by government public to private entities, in Emilia Romagna all this was created with the idea of \u200b\u200bkeeping the subsidiarity of the public with the private sector to deal with welfare. The co-ops in our region until the '90s grow and manage more and larger pieces of the welfare of the territory. This is done so in the years that co-operatives to work in derogation of the public were able to certify people, the same as Fabio, only graduates as teachers for the work they did for years with users. The educator's license instead tacked on public work of local health and public bodies, and at some point in the mid-2000 the region was not felt so good. Thinks back to the region by launching the 514 services on accreditation, which hides a specific pattern that is to board cuts on education, the focus of the law that establishes the criteria for accreditation is all about support and training of the OSS and the educator and his character disqualifies you. You are going to a medicalization of the profession of educator who can not actually play a more educational work in the name, however, welfarism. For what is now pressing the assistance to be accredited and therefore not the educational cooperatives do not assume educators. Educators are gradually losing their jobs.
Educators united against the cuts:
They explain that are tired of being treated as employees of series C. When it was decided to cut in the district of Casalecchio di Reno (BO) funds for welfare was thought, by those who announced the cuts, indifference to them, which proves the ungrateful of educator, and this was the motion of contempt that moved them. The indifference to a world of workers is not considered by anyone pushed them to form themselves into a group and begin to protest.
not really the job of an educator who is at risk, "explains the director of the group, but a model to do so, the teacher is at risk of welfare. Ours is the figure that comes from two large currents of thought of the twentieth century that Christianity and Marxism that led to the idea of \u200b\u200ba world including: the new project was building a company that anyone, even the most severe disabilities, could be a social actor actively and contribute to the growth of the company . And the teacher is the one that enables the user to make it from passive to active.
This is disappearing. Disappears, the educator who is in the area, the street educator that makes prevention. Disappear socio-educational centers in the area for work and education to facilitate job placement and, finally, that the outreach is to inform, to monitor existing discomfort design and greater prosperity for all. What is being dismantled, the delegate of the group reminds us, is the educator who comes out of our faculties of Education, the possibility of spending that we study and we pay taxes. The United Educators
defend against a model of welfare cuts, against the dismantling of the idea that he will leave standing only the educator sanitation, of institutions. Pere
all these reasons, the group asks the students to join this meeting now to their claims and events.
