Son Sardina rejects the incorporation of teacher Miquel Roldán, convicted of harassing a student.

PalmThe families of the CEIP Maria Antònia Salvá in Son Sardina have issued a statement expressing their "absolute rejection" of the teacher's incorporation. Miquel Roldánat the school. It's worth remembering that the primary school teacher was convicted of child abuse. Specifically, the court sentenced him to one year in prison, but did not disqualify him, a situation that the Regional Ministry confirmed when it dismissed him from teaching, although he is on a temporary basis.

Even so, the families of the educational center in Palma have sent the letter to the Ministry of Education where they demand that it "act immediately to remove this teacher from any educational center and that it promote the necessary legal reforms so that No person convicted of child abuse may teach"and they emphatically emphasize that families "will not accept the integrity and well-being of our sons and daughters being put at risk." "No individual interest can take precedence over children's right to grow up in a safe environment. Children come first. Always," they stated.

In this regard, they also stated that they denounced that the presence of a teacher convicted of bullying a minor "generates alarm, distrust, and fear." In fact, they asserted that their children have "the right to grow and learn in a protected and risk-free environment." In the statement, they also added that, for educational and social reasons, there are sufficient judicial records that would make their teaching work incompatible. They emphasized that they consider it "unacceptable" for a person with this history to be in daily contact with minors in a classroom.

However, they conclude that, out of institutional responsibility, families must be able to trust that the Administration is looking out for the best interests of children, and they lamented that allowing this incorporation is "a serious error that violates this principle."

It is worth remembering that during the last course, and after the controversy that was experienced in the educational center where Roldán taught, the Gabriel Janer and Manila Primary School, the Ministry of Education asked the Spanish government to change the legislation to prevent people like him, who was convicted of harassing a minor, from teaching. Faced with the Spanish government's refusal, the solution was to put a second teacher who "watched" the teacher Another controversy arose last year when the joint committee between the administration and the unions that was to decide on the future of the teacher convicted of harassment decided that he should not undergo a mandatory health evaluation.
