It will take 2 years to adapt the 30 schools of the Ministry of Culture: Curiel

The head of the federal Secretary of Culture (SC), Claudia Curiel de Icaza, assured yesterday that has been fulfilled with what the students of the National Conservatory of Music have requested and defended the right of young people to protest and continue the strike of activities that they have maintained since the beginning of October.

We have to open ourselves to a very large community, with many needs, with which we have to coordinate, because in the end one thing is maintenance, another is the purchase of instruments, another is the curriculum and another is the personnel issue. I insist on freedom of expression: if they consider that they need more time (unemployed), that seems right to me, it depends on how they feel; On our side we have complied, we have gone, we have stood up, we have made commissions.

He clarified that he has established contact with the CNM and other schools that depend on the culture sector, about thirty, including those of the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (Inbal) and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).

There has been dialogue with all the schools, they are not the only ones; They were the first to be attended to, I even went to the place with them, and everything has its times, formats and mechanisms. We have talked a lot. We have complied with what has been requested, but we have also informed you that there are 30 schools (those that depend on the SC)he stated.

We must carry out coordinated work; It is not about meeting one day; It has to do with creating commissions and planning how we are going to respond to the needs (of each school), developing a master plan that can be implemented in all areas of work.

Art, a priority axis of the Sheinbaum government

During the presentation of the new coordinators and heads of the Inbal artistic groups, held this Tuesday at the Palace of Fine Arts, the historian and cultural manager was insistent that artistic education is one of the priority axes of the current federal administration and In this sense, it set the deadline to have the master plan that will govern the Inbal and INAH teaching centers, including the Higher Schools of Music and the National Schools of Anthropology and History (ENAH). He stated that the diagnosis was already presented to President Claudia Sheinbaum.

It is a project that will take us at least two years to leave the 30 schools as they deserve; It is a work in coordination with students, teachers, academic researchers, so that we can work based on the needs of all the communities that make up the schools and that it is not simply us defining what we need and what we doexplained the historian, cultural manager and now civil servant Curiel de Icaza.
