Been absolutely busy lately and no time or HC. But just caught up a bit this evening and, I must say, there have been some great posts lately. Really good and insightful discussions and posts from so many. From gsw and Sicilly, as usual, but also from jdkm, captain, sput, ed, aj and many others.
Well done. Excellent 'community' actually.
As gsw has indicated with a couple of recent posts, things are hotting up in mexico again. Why? Because the trial has been completed - and now in the evaluation stage. Politicians and lobbyists are coming out from all over the place - pushing their cause, seeking publicity etc. This should continue for a while - until the evaluation id completed and the Government makes an announcement.
Here's an interersting one todaty from a party leader in the Nuevo Leon parliament - calling for private school testing and, even more interesstingly, for legislation of mandatory schools testing. Atough one to win, but will be interesting following the debates.
Here's the article:
The antidoping must include colleges
Coordinator of honeycomb highlights benefits of the program.
In the private schools do not apply actions.
Recognizing the benefits of antidoping programme in schools, the coordinator of the New Alliance Party (diapers) in the State Congress, Maria Dolores Cantu Leal proposed to extend to private schools.
The plan has been good in the sense that it is a preventive measure for young people, and it has taken into account parents.
“Somehow there have been conflicting views that are affecting young people, but I think if we see a fairly mature, they are not affected, quite the contrary, it prevents drug addiction, "he said.
The legislator noted that an area of opportunity program is to legislate in this field to be widespread. However clarified that the law can not be done by steaming and leaving out things like the sensitivity of those involved.
"You can find legal mechanisms that can help that within a framework of the Education Act may legislate in favour of widespread both in official and private schools, to prevent diseases that affect young people and in some cases lead them to death, "felt.
She noted that the consultation process is in the Education Act in a responsible manner.
"In our legislative agenda we bring comprehensive reform to the Education Act and among some of the important points is to be seen how to take preventive measures in this very important aspect," he said.
The private schools are incorporated in the Secretariat and education should be governed according to their plans and programmes, while drug addiction is a problem that has no status or social class.
"It's a problem that today has become widespread and has led to death. We must take into account all these indices have been filed to prevent and that young people have quality of life ", he said.
The preventive measure, he said, is not within a legal framework, but even in schools official takes into account the parent to implement it, which should occur in private.
Both the school official and private institutions suffer the same problem and therefore can not be discriminatory and must fight for a consistency in all schools.
Congresswoman believes that the operational success has left in terms of preventive, but said it is necessary to legislate in this area, to extend it.
