LIBRO PAPA FRANCISCO:

LA NUEVA EDUCACIÓN
Y EL PACTO EDUCATIVO GLOBAL

Prácticamente desde el inicio de su pontificado el papa Francisco no ha cesado de pronunciarse de manera creativa y desafiadora sobre la educación. En algunas oportunidades se ha referido directamente al mundo de la “escuela” abarcando, en sus planteamientos, a las instituciones dedicadas a la enseñanza en los distintos niveles educativos.

PAPA FRANCOIS: LA GRACE DE L'ETONNEMENT, THE GRACE TO BE AMAZED, LA GRACIA DEL ESTUPOR

 

“Chiediamo la grazia dello stupore. La vita cristiana, senza stupore, diventa grigiore. Come si può testimoniare la gioia di aver incontrato Gesù, se non ci lasciamo stupire ogni giorno dal suo amore sorprendente, che ci perdona e ci fa ricominciare? Se la fede perde lo stupore diventa sorda: non sente più la meraviglia della Grazia, non sente più il gusto del Pane di vita e della Parola, non percepisce più la bellezza dei fratelli e il dono del creato… “

 « Demandons la grâce de l’étonnement. La vie chrétienne, sans étonnement, devient grisâtre. Comment peut-on témoigner la joie d’avoir rencontré Jésus, si nous ne nous laissons pas étonner chaque jour par son amour surprenant qui nous pardonne et nous fait recommencer ? Si la foi perd l’étonnement, elle devient sourde : elle ne sent plus la merveille de la Grâce, elle ne sent plus le goût du Pain de vie et de la Parole, elle ne perçoit plus la beauté des frères et le don de la création … »

 « Let us ask for the grace to be amazed. A Christian life without amazement becomes drab and dreary. How can we talk about the joy of meeting Jesus, unless we are daily astonished and amazed by his love, which brings us forgiveness and the possibility of a new beginning? When faith no longer experiences amazement, it grows dull: it becomes blind to the wonders of grace; it can no longer taste the Bread of life and hear the Word; it can no longer perceive the beauty of our brothers and sisters and the gift of creation …”

 “ Pidamos la gracia del estupor. La vida cristiana, sin asombro, es monótona. ¿Cómo se puede testimoniar la alegría de haber encontrado a Jesús, si no nos dejamos sorprender cada día por su amor admirable, que nos perdona y nos hace comenzar de nuevo? Si la fe pierde su capacidad de sorprenderse se queda sorda, ya no siente la maravilla de la gracia, ya no experimenta el gusto del Pan de vida y de la Palabra, ya no percibe la belleza de los hermanos y el don de la creación… “

UNICEF AMERICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE - ESTUDIANTES AUSENTES DE LAS AULAS - es - en

114 millones de estudiantes ausentes de las aulas 

de América Latina y el Caribe

El mayor número de niños fuera del aula en el mundo


 El cierre total o parcial de las escuelas en América Latina y el Caribe deja actualmente a unos 114 millones de estudiantes sin escolarización presencial, según las últimas estimaciones de UNICEF.

Un año después del comienzo de la pandemia, América Latina y el Caribe sigue siendo la región del mundo con el mayor número de estudiantes que aún no asiste a las aulas. Los niños y niñas de esta región han perdido en promedio 158 días de clases presenciales.

A la fecha, sólo 7 países de América Latina y el Caribe han abierto completamente sus escuelas. En 12 países y territorios las escuelas permanecen completamente cerradas y en el resto de la región están parcialmente cerradas.

A pesar de los esfuerzos del gobierno para garantizar la continuidad de la educación a distancia a través de plataformas virtuales, radio y televisión, las interrupciones escolares han tenido un impacto negativo en los logros de aprendizaje, en términos de protección, salud física y mental y en las perspectivas socioeconómicas de los estudiantes en el futuro.

“En ningún otro lugar del mundo hay tantos niños están sin educación presencial”, dijo Jean Gough, Directora Regional de UNICEF para América Latina y el Caribe. “Esta es la peor crisis educativa que ha enfrentado la región en su historia moderna. Muchos niños y niñas ya han perdido un año de escolarización presencial; ahora empezaron a perder otro año más. Cada día adicional sin clases presenciales pone a los niños y niñas más vulnerables en riesgo de abandonar la escuela para siempre”.

Cuanto más tiempo permanezcan los niños, niñas y adolescentes fuera de la escuela, es menos probable que regresen. Se estima que más de 3 millones de estudiantes en la región podrían abandonar definitivamente sus estudios a causa de la pandemia.

En una región donde antes de la COVID-19 muchos estudiantes de primaria y secundaria no alcanzaban los niveles básicos de competencias en matemáticas, lectura y escritura, el impacto de las interrupciones escolares en el rendimiento de aprendizaje será severo y duradero.

Según un informe reciente del Banco Mundial, es posible que el 71 por ciento de los estudiantes de educación secundaria inferior, en América Latina y el Caribe, no sean capaces de entender un texto de extensión moderada. Antes de la pandemia, la cifra era del 55 por ciento. Ese porcentaje podría aumentar al 77 por ciento si las escuelas permanecen cerradas durante tres meses más.

En medio del cierre de las escuelas, UNICEF ha apoyado a unos 45 millones de estudiantes en 24 países de la región en la provisión de programas a distancia; además, 9 millones de niños, niñas, padres, madres y cuidadores primarios han recibido apoyo en salud mental y psicosocial en la comunidad.

“Los programas de educación a distancia deben continuar y ampliarse para llegar a más y más niños y niñas, pero nunca sustituirán la escolarización presencial en el aula con un maestro, especialmente para los estudiantes más vulnerables. No estamos pidiendo que todas las escuelas vuelvan a abrir en todas partes al mismo tiempo; estamos pidiendo que las escuelas sean las primeras en abrir y las últimas en cerrar. Varios países de América Latina y el Caribe han logrado grandes avances en priorizar una reapertura escolar urgente y gradual; ahora es el momento de que otros sigan el mismo camino en toda la región”, agregó Jean Gough.

UNICEF reconoce los esfuerzos realizados por los gobiernos y las autoridades educativas de la región que trabajan junto con aliados y contrapartes para continuar mitigando los riesgos inherentes a la interrupción de la educación y su impacto en los niños, niñas y adolescentes.

La semana pasada, los Ministros de Educación de todos los países de Centro América* y República Dominicana se comprometieron a priorizar la reapertura urgente y paulatina de las escuelas. UNICEF elogia esta decisión pionera que ahora debe implementarse con un sentido de urgencia y hace un llamado a las autoridades educativas de otras partes de América Latina y el Caribe para que avancen en la misma dirección.

Ante la urgente necesidad de generar consciencia sobre la importancia de la reapertura y el impacto que tiene en los niños y niñas de la región, UNICEF lanza su campaña #LasEscuelasPrimero que refleja el estado de las aulas en la región, millones de sillas vacías a la espera de que los estudiantes retomen clases y continúen su proceso de aprendizaje.

 Millions of children out of school in Latin America and Caribbean

UNICEF highlights the damaging impact of total or partial school closures on the education of children in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The UN agency says the Latin American and Caribbean region is experiencing a crisis that has left 114 million children unable to return to in-person learning in classrooms.

 

- By Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ

 -

School closures, either total or partial, owing to the ongoing health emergency currently leave approximately 114 million students in Latin America and the Caribbean without face-to-face school, according to UNICEF.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the UN Children’s fund said that one year after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Caribbean and Latin America remain the region with the largest number of children missing out on in-person classes in the world.

Covid-19 and school disruptions

In spite of government efforts to ensure continuity of education through virtual platforms, and educational initiatives on radio and television, school disruptions are raising growing concerns about the impact on learning achievements, protection, mental health and the socio-economic prospects of children in the future.

According to UNICEF’s estimates, only seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have fully reopened their schools with the resulting effect that children in these two regions have lost 158 school days of face-to-face school on average. In twelve countries of the region, schools remain fully closed and, in the others, classrooms are partially closed.

“Nowhere else in the world so many children are currently left without face-to-face schooling,” said Jean Gough, UNICEF Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. “This is the worst education crisis Latin America and the Caribbean has ever faced in its modern history.”

“Many children have already lost one year of face-to-face schooling; now they started to lose another school year. Each additional day without face-to-face schooling puts the most vulnerable children at risk of dropping out of school forever,” she warned.

Damaging impact on childrens’ education

During school closures, UNICEF has supported educational support through the provision of distance programs which have benefitted about 45 million students in 24 countries in the region. 9 million children, parents and primary caregivers have also received mental health and psychosocial support.

However, the UN Children’s Fund is concerned that the longer children remain out of school, the less likely they are to return, as an estimated 3 million children in the region are at risk of permanently dropping out because of the pandemic.

Even before the pandemic, many students did not reach basic levels of math, reading and writing skills in elementary and middle school, the statement explained. In fact, a World Bank report indicates that 71 percent of students in Latin America and the Caribbean in lower secondary education may not be able to understand a text of moderate length. Before the pandemic, the figure was 55 percent. The World Bank worries that the number could rise to 77 percent if schools are closed for three more months.

Appeal to governments

While recognizing the efforts of education authorities and governments to mitigate the risks inherent to school disruptions and its impact on children, UNICEF insists that distance learning programs should be continued and scaled-up to reach more children. However, it notes, these will never be a substitute for face-to-face learning in a classroom with a teacher, especially for the most vulnerable children.

“We are not asking for all schools to reopen everywhere at the same time; we are asking for schools to be the first to open and the last to close. Several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have made great progress in prioritizing an urgent and gradual school reopening; now it’s time for others to follow the same path across the region,” added Jean Gough. 

UNICEF also welcomed a recent decision of the Ministers of Education from Central America and the Dominican Republic to prioritize the gradual reopening of schools, and called on other authorities in the region to make moves in the same direction.

CANDOR LUCIS AETERNAE



«Pope Francis celebrates Dante: Prophet of hope and poet of mercy

--AR  - DE  - EN  - ES  - FR  - IT  - LA  - PT --

 

Pope Francis releases an Apostolic Letter entitled "Candor lucis aeternae" marking the 700th anniversary of the death of the great Italian poet, Dante Alighieri, and highlights the relevance, timelessness and depth of faith in Dante’s masterpiece: “The Divine Comedy".

 

-By Isabella Piro

 

700 years from his death in 1321, when exiled in Ravenna from his beloved Florence, Dante still speaks to us. He speaks to the men and women of today, asking to be read and studied, but also to be listened to and imitated in his journey towards happiness, that is, the infinite and eternal Love of God.

Thus writes Pope Francis in his Apostolic Letter "Candor lucis aeternae - Splendour of Light Eternal," published on 25 March, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. The date is not accidental: the mystery of the Incarnation, stemming from Mary's full and total acceptance of God’s plan, the Pope says, is "the true heart and inspiration of the entire poem" for it effected the prodigious exchange whereby God enters our history by becoming flesh, and humanity “is taken up into God, in whom it finds true happiness.”

The Popes and Dante

Divided into nine paragraphs, the Apostolic Letter begins with a brief excursus into the thoughts of various Pontiffs regarding Dante. Then, Pope Francis dwells on Alighieri's life, calling it a "paradigm of the human condition" and emphasizing the "perennial timeliness and importance” of his work. In fact, it is “an integral part of our culture,” the Pope writes, “taking us back to the Christian roots of Europe and the West.  It embodies that patrimony of ideals and values that the Church and civil society continue to propose” still today as “the basis of a humane social order in which all can and must see others as brothers and sisters.” 

Innate desire for happiness

There are two main pillars in the "Divine Comedy" – the Pope explains - namely "an innate desire in the human heart" and "fulfilment in the happiness bestowed by the vision of the Love who is God.” This is why Dante is a "prophet of hope": because with his work he urges humanity to free itself from the "dark forest" of sin to find "the right path" and thus reach "the fullness of life and time in history" and "eternal beatitude in God".  The path indicated by Dante, a true "pilgrimage" - the Pope points out - is "realistic and within the reach” of all, because "God’s mercy always offers the possibility of change and conversion".

Dante's women

The Apostolic Letter also gives prominence to three female figures of the "Divine Comedy": Mary, the Mother of God, representing charity; Beatrice, representing hope; and Saint Lucy, representing faith. These three women, who represent the three theological virtues, accompany Dante at different stages of his pilgrimage, demonstrating that "we are not saved alone", but that the help of those who "can support us and guide us with wisdom and prudence" is necessary. What moves Mary, Beatrice and Lucy, in fact, is always divine love, "the source of salvation and joy", "to renewed life and thus to happiness".

Dante and St. Francis of Assisi

The Pope then dedicates another paragraph to Saint Francis, who in Dante's work is depicted in the "white rose of the blessed". He sees “much in common” between the Saint of Assisi and the Supreme Poet: both, in fact, addressed the people, the first "went out among the people", the second choosing not to use Latin, but the vernacular, the language of all. Both, moreover, open themselves "to the beauty and worth" of Creation, a mirror of its Creator. A brilliant artist, whose humanism "remains timely and relevant," Alighieri is also – he affirms - "a forerunner of our multimedia culture, because in his work "word and image, symbol and sound, poetry and dance converge to convey a single message.”

A message for all

The Pope goes on to congratulate those teachers who “passionately communicate Dante’s message and introduce others to the cultural, religious and moral riches contained in his works“ and he asks that this "heritage" not remain locked up in classrooms and universities, but be known and spread thanks to the commitment of Christian communities and cultural associations. He also calls upon artists to "to give voice, face and heart, form, colour and sound to Dante’s poetry by following the path of beauty which he so masterfully travelled," so as to spread "a message of peace, freedom and fraternity". A task, the Pope says, that is as relevant as ever in this historical moment, “over clouded by situations of profound inhumanity and a lack of confidence and prospects for the future.” The Supreme Poet - the Apostolic Letter concludes - can therefore "help us to advance with serenity and courage on the pilgrimage of life and faith that each of us is called to make, until our hearts find true peace and true joy, until we arrive at the ultimate goal of all humanity: The Love which moves the sun and the other stars”.
