Interview between the Time.news Editor and Clara Brugada Molina, Head of Government of Mexico City
Time.news Editor: Good morning, Ms. Brugada. Thank you for joining us today. Your recent announcement regarding educational investments in Mexico City has sparked a lot of interest. Can you elaborate on the main objectives behind the new social programs you’ve introduced, particularly “The School is Our Best School”?
Clara Brugada Molina: Good morning! I’m delighted to be here. The core objective of “The School is Our Best School” program is to empower educational communities. We’re allocating resources that parents can decide how to use, ensuring that each school has what it truly needs. This is about fostering a sense of ownership and involvement from the community in their children’s education.
Time.news Editor: That’s an innovative approach! You mentioned an investment of between 2 and 2.5 million pesos per school for the upcoming year. Can you share what specific improvements this funding will target?
Clara Brugada Molina: Absolutely. This funding will address critical physical needs in schools. For instance, if a roof needs repairs or if students require new furniture or a computer room needs updating, we want to ensure that these issues are resolved. Our goal is to transform schools into the best public spaces in the city. After all, our children spend a significant amount of time there, and it’s important they have a safe and conducive environment for learning.
Time.news Editor: Safety is indeed paramount. You also mentioned insurance for school accidents. Could you tell us more about that?
Clara Brugada Molina: Yes! All children enrolled in our educational programs will be insured against school accidents. This means they are protected from the moment they leave home, during school hours, and until they return home. It adds an essential layer of security for parents, knowing that their children are safeguarded at school.
Time.news Editor: That’s reassuring for families. Another aspect you spoke about is the “Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol” music program. Why do you think introducing music education is important for students?
Clara Brugada Molina: Music education is vital for holistic development. Learning to play instruments nurtures creativity, discipline, and even cognitive skills. It provides emotional expression and can enhance their overall performance in other subjects. I believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore and develop their musical talents, not just through basic instruments like flutes but through a wide array of options.
Time.news Editor: Fantastic perspective! You also mentioned that starting next year, the federal government will take charge of “My Scholarship to Start” at the secondary level. What improvements can students expect from this transition?
Clara Brugada Molina: This is an exciting step forward! The program will continue to be universal and accessible to all children, irrespective of their background or academic performance. With the federal government taking charge, we anticipate increased resources and support, allowing for enhancements that will make it even more effective in addressing the needs of students in our capital. Our focus remains clear: every child deserves support in their educational journey.
Time.news Editor: It sounds like a significant evolution for educational support in Mexico City. Before we conclude, what message do you want to send to the parents and students benefiting from these programs?
Clara Brugada Molina: I want them to know that we are committed to their success and well-being. Education is a fundamental right, and we’re working diligently to create an environment where every child can thrive. We recognize the challenges ahead, but together, with the community’s involvement, we can achieve remarkable progress in our education system.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Ms. Brugada, for sharing your insights with us today. It’s encouraging to see such dedicated efforts toward improving education in Mexico City.
