I believe the field of education should have resources regardless of cost, especially given the importance and need on the island, where most children attend daycare. We know the demand is high, and unfortunately, the quality depends on political factors. Therefore, public policy is crucial to sustaining an early childhood education system. We need visionary leaders who support children and qualified professionals in charge.

On the other hand, as an educator, I see that there are positions like pedagogical support where the role is to provide support, but if they don’t do so adequately or if their support is nonexistent, it’s equally difficult to have support that exists only on paper but not in practice. Obviously, it’s necessary if this person truly fulfills their duties, but otherwise, it’s a pseudo-position.
