(Title) Thousands of popular, working-class families, young couples are facing an explosive impasse. Their life is difficult and will complicate even more the next time when we are experiencing at first hand the tragic consequences of the memorandum. Can not pay the rent, the volume of housing loans are not allowed to leave for vacation a few days, do not know if I can shop necessary to live their family. The popular family income has dropped drastically. This has implications for another major issue, the worker father and factory worker mother. If you can say to send their child to a kindergarten.
The data are as follows:
1. Has increased dramatically (in many cases has quadrupled) the number of applications in municipal crèches and kindergartens. This is because many parents who could afford the previous year to send their child to a private station, this year not because of financial difficulties.
2. Many municipalities have closed their plants, arguing their costs. Even worse, many stations stopped functioning parts of the baby for the same reason. The baby sections are much greater need for a family, and other, specialized care have a baby a few months (in fact appropriate to watch a trained worker), and another thing to resort to possibly found in the family.
3. Only the City of Athens decided within the last eight months the closure of kindergartens in the past two months to justify the inappropriateness of the rented premises. But took no steps to create new, appropriate infrastructure. Now, the children accommodated there, and will share the remaining packed already overcrowded classrooms.
4. Many workers (teachers and support staff) loses his job, since it renewed the contracts because the law of the PASOK government, which does not allow. In many cases the staff contract reaches even 60 or 70% of the total workforce. The above means that in practice many nurseries will get “lock”. In private channels, layoffs and reduced hours and days of work, requiring owners to employees, in the name of cost reduction.
Predictably, if a nursery owner in New Philadelphia, who days prior notice in writing of the four teachers working in kindergarten, in consultation with a proposal for a rotating work one day a week!
explosive situation
Let’s look at just a few examples:
* Only the 2nd Municipal District of the City of Athens applications submitted in recent weeks reached the 1433 when it was last year 1044 with capacity reaching only the 886 children. Overall in the municipality of Athens last year, 3,000 children were left out of kindergarten. Add here the thousands of parents who for whatever reason do not even bother to apply in considering data rejection.
* The City Xalandriou where until a few days before the applications had reached the 1100 and last year hosted 850 infants were and infants.
* The Municipality of Kifissia only one station, the number of applications has quadrupled.
Even worse is the situation in areas such as: Egaleo Dove, Kamatero, Eleusis, etc.
The removal of parts has to do with staff shortages. Employees who work with contracts (SS, in many cases represent the majority of employees) were dismissed or made redundant. But not limited to the Municipality of Athens 532 employees work in unacceptable system of work contracts that expire gradually until January. Plus retirements, applications for which have increased dramatically new insurance mercy. This leads the director to count by now either decline educators in each section (two, one) or collapse sections. In Halandri communicate to suspend the operation of kindergartens, because the contracts expiring contract.
