CATHOLICS CRUSADING TO RAISE TEACHER PAY – Chicago Tribune

Parents with children in a Roman Catholic elementary school in Western Springs are campaigning to raise teachers` salaries well beyond the average 7 percent increase for the next school year announced last month by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

”We want salaries raised at least 20 percent more,” said Kathleen Krepps, who has two children at St. John of the Cross Elementary School in the west suburb. In addition, Krepps said she and other parents in affluent Western Springs would welcome tuition rates much higher than the current $600 a year to pay for the raises.

The call for big raises for teachers spotlights a vexing problem in Catholic schools throughout the Chicago archdiocese, which includes Cook and Lake Counties.

At St. John of the Cross, teachers earn half the salary of teachers in area public elementary schools. Last year two teachers quit and took jobs for higher pay at suburban public elementary schools.

Krepps fears that other teachers will leave, that their replacements won`t be as good and that the quality of education in Catholic schools will decline. The parents also believe that a teacher shortage forecast for the 1990s will exacerbate the problem, opening more possibilities for Catholic-school teachers to leave for higher-paying jobs in public schools.

”It`s our concern also across the archdiocese,” said Sister Anne Leonard, director of educational services for the archdiocese. She is directing a study of teacher salaries that could result in some flexibility for local parishes.

The uniform annual salary scale set by the archdiocese for Catholic elementary schools will range next fall from $12,000 for a beginning teacher to $21,585 for a teacher with 23 years experience who has completed half the requirements toward a doctorate.

Sister Anne said a uniform salary schedule is necessary so ”we don`t create a competitive system within ourselves.”

The average teacher`s pay at St. John of the Cross is $14,100, compared with an average of $23,900 for La Grange Highlands District 106, $28,306 for Western Springs District 101 and $33,500 for Hinsdale District 181, all in areas served by the Catholic parish.

Richard Dlugo is in his 19th year of teaching at the St. John of the Cross and has not yet reached a $20,000 annual salary. The prospect of paying college bills for the first of his six children, ages 9 to 16, is forcing him to quit and seek a job as a computer programmer.

”I would like to continue to teach, but unfortunately I can`t stay,”

said Dlugo, who teaches music and computer education.

Other teachers at St. John of the Cross are angry with their salaries. Some say they would leave if they could find a better paying job, and others say the only reason they stay is because of their love for the school, its children and their parents.

Some teachers have second jobs that include serving as school crossing guards. One unmarried teacher has two outside jobs so she can make her home mortgage and car payments. A first-year teacher said she lives with her parents because she cannot afford an apartment, even with a roommate, on her $11,315 annual salary.

Jeanne Plunkett, another parent pushing for higher teacher salaries, said the Western Springs school is trapped by the archdiocese requirements for a uniform pay schedule. But she concedes that if St. John of the Cross were permitted to set its own salary schedule, it might create competition problems for teachers in other Catholic schools.

The parents took a first step toward helping their 35 teachers with a

”Christmas gift” fundraiser. They circulated a letter among parishioners asking for contributions for, in effect, a Christmas bonus, and 320 families responded with $7,000. Each teacher was given a $200 check.

Krepps also wrote of the teachers plight to Joseph Cardinal Bernardin last November, and four couples in the parish jointly sent a letter to the archdiocesan finance committee to outline their concerns.

”Can we expect teachers to perform the same job for 100 percent less money than they could earn next door?” Krepps asked the cardinal. ”The time to address this issue is long overdue.”

For years, Catholic schools were subsidized by nuns, who received only a small stipend for their teaching. Now at least two-thirds of teachers are lay persons.

In the letter to the finance committee, the parents acknowledge that Catholic schools throughout the archdiocese ”are attended by children from wealthy, middle-class, struggling and painfully impoverished families.”

But they also said that ”parents supporting some city and many suburban schools naturally expect a high level of service and performance because of the abundant programs offered by their area public schools. Failure to adequately service the self-supporting schools may force many parents to choose the better funded and in many cases excellent public school

alternative.”

The parents support the archdiocese commitment to battle poverty ”by continuing to offer inner-city children a quality private school education.” But they also asked for ”more flexible ways to finance our parish schools and our teachers` salaries.”

”Perhaps we should allow those schools which are self-supporting some independence in setting and meeting their expenses. Creativity, not rigidity, may be the only answer presently available to finance our educational system.”

A church. As of 2011, the Catholic Church operates the world’s largest non-public school system. ^[1] In 2016, the church supported 43,800 high schools and 95,200 elementary schools.

Background

Irish immigration is a major contributor to the growth of Catholic communities around the world. Irish immigration led to a resurgence of Catholicism through movement to countries across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom and Australia. Historically, the establishment of Catholic schools in Europe has faced various challenges since the establishment of the Church of England in the Elizabethan religious settlements of 1558-63. Anti-Catholicism during this period encouraged Catholics to create modern Catholic education systems in order to preserve their traditions. Relief Acts 1782 and Catholic Emancipation Act 1829years later increased the opportunity to openly practice Catholicism in England and set up charitable institutions by the church. ^[3] This led to the development of numerous local religious communities that opened schools, hospitals, orphanages, correctional facilities and workhouses. ^[3]

Traditionally Catholic schools originated as schools for men and women. Previously, Catholic schools were required to depend on tuition fees and donations. Donations have plummeted, leading to higher commissions. ^{[ when? ]} This prevented some students from enrolling in the school due to their inability to pay. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Purpose

Catholic schools differ from their public school counterparts in that they aim to develop people as followers of the Catholic faith. Leaders, teachers, and students should focus on the four basic rules established by the Church and the school. This includes the school’s Catholic identity, education about life and faith, celebration of life and faith, action, and social justice. ^[4]

Like other Christian institutions, Catholic schools are generally non-denominational in that they admit everyone regardless of religion or sect, race, ethnicity or nationality, subject to admission or enrollment requirements and legal documents, and compliance with rules and regulations. for a productive school life. However, non-Catholics, Christian or not, may need to participate in or be exempted from compulsory activities, especially those of a religious nature. This is in line with the spirit of social inclusion. ^{[5] [6]}

Religious education

Religious education as a core subject is a vital element of the curriculum in which people must develop themselves: “Intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and of course , spiritually. ” ^[7] Training also includes: “A distinct but complementary aspect of the religious aspect of the liturgical and prayer life of the school community.” ^[7] In Catholic schools, teachers teach the religious education program run by the bishop. Therefore, both the teacher and the bishop contribute to the planning and conduct of religious education lessons. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Catholic education was found to be a positive fertility factor; Catholic education at the college level, and to a lesser extent at the high school level, is associated with more children, even if one considers the confounding effect that higher religiosity leads to a higher likelihood of attending religious education. ^[8]

Asia

Malaysia

Catholic schools in Malaysia have been the backbone of formal education in the country. Catholic schools have gone through many changes since independence in the late 50s and early 60s. Education policy in Malaysia is very centralized. In 1988, all Catholic religious brothers over the age of 55 were asked to retire immediately, which led to vacancies for lay teachers. Any new brother who wishes to become a teacher in Malaysia must be in the public service and have the same status as non-professional teachers. Many of the La Salle traditions, such as games or sports between La Salle, are now integrated into other larger publicly funded programs. With Islam being the state religion, compulsory or optional Bible lessons today are limited to those of the Catholic faith. The missionaries who opened schools in Malaysia created a solid foundation for learning. Today there are 68 Sisters of the Child Jesus, 11 parish convents and 46 La Salle Brothers schools outside the city. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Pakistan

The Catholic Church in Pakistan is active in education, in addition to its spiritual work, it runs leading schools. The Catholic Church operates 534 schools, 53 hostels, 8 colleges and 7 technical institutes, according to 2008 statistics. ^[9]

B The Catholic Board of Education is the branch of the Catholic Church in Pakistan responsible for education. ^[10] Each diocese has its own government. ^[11]

The Government of Pakistan nationalized most of the church schools and colleges in Punjab and Sindh in 1972. Leading schools such as St. Patrick’s High School, Karachi, St. Joseph’s Monastery School (Karachi) and Michael’s Monastery School have never been nationalized. ^{[ citation needed ]}

The Government of Sindh oversaw the denationalization program from 1985 to 1995 and the government of Punjab started a similar program in 1996 year. In 2001, the federal government and the courts ordered the provincial governments to complete the denationalization process. ^[12]

Philippines

in the Philippines, private schools have been owned by the Catholic Church since the days of Spanish colonization. The Philippines is currently one of two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Southeast Asia, the other being East Timor, with a 2004 UNESCO study indicating that 83% of the population identify themselves as Catholic. ^[13] The oldest existing university in Asia, the University of Santo Tomas, is located in the Philippines. This is the biggest single Catholic University in the world. The university was founded by the Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominican Order, on April 28, 1611. ^[13]

Europe

Slovakia

The education received in these schools is equal to the education received in public schools. The task of Catholic schools is, in addition to high-quality education and upbringing, to provide an alternative content of education and upbringing, new methods and forms. ^[14]

Ireland

Catholic schools in Ireland receive state aid, not state aid. Not all operating, building and maintenance costs are covered by the central government. ^{[ clarification needed ]} Local communities also raise funds. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Church groups in Ireland are the private owners of most primary and secondary schools. Evidence shows that approximately 60% of secondary school students attend schools owned by religious communities. ^[3]

United Kingdom

England and Wales

Oxford Catholic School sign with the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and the Oxfordshire County Council logo.

In England and Wales Catholic schools are either independent, and therefore privately funded through tuition fees, or supported by the state. Supported Catholic Schools are either Voluntary Aid, where 10% of capital funding is provided by the church, or Academies, which are fully funded by the government. The Catholic Education Service (CES) monitors the education of approximately 840,000 students each year in its 2,300 schools. In addition, about 130 independent schools are of a Catholic nature. ^{[15] [16]}

CES engages on behalf of all bishops with government and other national authorities on legal, administrative, and religious education issues to: “Advance the interests of Catholics in education; protect the interests of Catholics in education; and to contribute to Christian perspectives through educational discussions at the national level. ” ^[17] They refused to open schools under the Free School program due to the 50% Rule, which limits the number of places that can be reserved for Catholics.

In 2009 Catholic schools in England made up two thirds of all religious secondary schools. ^[18]

Northern Ireland

The Council of Catholic Schools (CCMS) is the advocate for the Catholic school sector in Northern Ireland. The CCMS represents trustees, schools, and managers on issues such as raising and maintaining standards, school conditions, and teacher employment. As the largest employer of teachers in Northern Ireland (8,500 teachers), CCMS plays a central role in supporting teachers, whether through Social Security or through working groups such as the Independent Inquiry into Teachers’ Salaries and Conditions of Service. According to the latest data from the Department of Education, N.I. Statistics Office 2006/2007, number of pupils registered in a school in Northern Ireland is 329583 people. The number of students attending Catholic schools is 148,225. ^[19]

Scotland

As in England and Wales, Catholic schools in Scotland are either independent or state run and run by the Scottish Catholic Education Service. ^[20] established in 1972 under the Commission for Catholic Education to assist the Scottish Bishops’ Conference on Education. B Education Act 1918 guaranteed the rights of Scottish Catholics to have their children educated in local Catholic schools and defended the rights of Catholic schools to maintain their religious character. ^[21] During the 1920s, ownership of most Catholic schools shifted from dioceses or permanent residents to the public sector. Today they are known as “confessional schools” and are open to students who meet the specified requirements, regardless of financial status. A select few, most notably St. Aloysius’ College and Kilgraston School, remain independent. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Canada

Founded in 1639, this is one of the oldest schools in North America still in operation.

Catholic schools in Canada date back to 1620 when the first school was founded by Catholics. Re-order to Quebec. Most schools in Canada functioned under the auspices of one or another Christian organization until 19century. Currently, state-supported Catholic schools operate in three provinces (Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan) as well as all three federal territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon [grade 9 only]). Publicly funded Catholic schools operate like individual schools in Canada, meaning they are constitutionally protected. The constitutional protection enjoyed by individual schools in the provinces of Canada is enshrined in Section 93 of the Constitution. It gives the provinces authority over education, but with significant restrictions meant to protect the rights of religious minorities. These restrictions were the result of significant debate between Protestants and Catholics in Canada over whether schools should be parochial or non-denominational. Unlike the provinces, the right to individual schools is protected in the three federal territories by federal law. Parliament who establish these territories.

Delegates Quebec Conference of 1864 Maintaining separate publicly funded school boards was a major problem for the Canadian Confederation.

Section 93 was the result of constitutional negotiations in the 1860s. Pre-existing rights to tax-funded minority Catholic and Protestant schools became a major point of negotiation around Canadian Confederation. Maintaining separate publicly funded school boards has been a significant problem, largely due to ethnic and religious tensions between Canada’s (mostly French-speaking) Roman Catholic population and the majority (mostly English-speaking) Protestant majority. This issue became the subject of discussion at the 1864 Quebec Conference and was finally resolved at the 1866 London Conference with a proposal to maintain separate school systems in Quebec and Ontario. The way this agreement was written into the Constitution was that the terms of formation in each colony (or territory) at the time of entry into the Confederacy would be constitutionally protected thereafter.

Despite the compromise, the debate over separate Catholic schools continued to be a problem in the new country. Manitoba’s acceptance of a unified secular school system in 1890 led to a national political crisis. The Manitoba Schools Question was a political crisis in the 1880s and 1890s involving publicly funded separate schools for Catholics and Protestants in Manitoba. The crisis eventually spread to the national level, becoming one of the key issues in the federal elections 1896 AD Because of the close relationship between religion and language during this period in Canada, the question of schools presented a deeper problem for the survival of the French as a language and culture in Western Canada. The secular system was maintained and the French language guarantee was later removed in 1916, leaving English as the only official language used in the province until it was reinstated in 1985.

In the province of Quebec, publicly funded Catholic and Protestant schools were maintained until 1997, when this system was replaced by a linguistically based secular school system following a constitutional amendment that exempted Quebec from certain conditions of Section 93. Newfoundland and Labrador also operated separate schools for several Christian denominations, including Catholics, until 1997. This school system originated prior to Newfoundland’s entry into Confederation in 1949 and continued until 1997, when a secular government system was established in the province. The absence of Catholic-Protestant tensions in the provinces of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island resulted in no separate school systems in those provinces.

Secondaire Saint-Frère-André Catholic School in Toronto is one of the many publicly funded French Catholic schools in Ontario.

The Ontario Department of Education currently funds 29 English Catholic school boards and 8 French Catholic school boards (in addition to 31 English language secular school boards, 4 French secular school boards and 1 English language Protestant school board). Initially, most of the secular school boards in the province were Protestant, but they gradually evolved into a secular state system. Public funding for Catholic schools was initially provided only to grade 10 in Ontario. However, at 1985 it was expanded to cover the last three years of secondary education (11th grade to 13th grade/OAC). Separate publicly funded Catholic schools also exist in Alberta and Saskatchewan, although they are not as common as in Ontario.

The near-exclusive public funding of one religious denomination in Ontario has been controversial in the last few decades. The controversy led to a Supreme Court decision in 1996 which held that the provincial education authorities under section 93 Constitution Act 1867 is plenary and not subject to criticism of the Charter. They also noted that this was the product of a historic compromise of critical importance to the Confederacy, and it forms a comprehensive code on the rights of denominational schools that cannot be extended through the work of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This issue has received international criticism. On November 5, 1999, the United Nations Human Rights Committee condemned Canada and Ontario for violating the equality provisions (Article 26) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Committee reaffirmed its concerns on 2 November 2005 when it issued its Concluding Observations on Canada’s Fifth Periodic Report under the Covenant. The Committee noted that Canada had failed “to take steps to eliminate discrimination based on religion in school funding in Ontario.”

Catholic schools are the largest non-public school system in the United States. In 2010, 2 million students attended 6,980 schools. 331 of them are private. ^[22] Catholic schools in the United States were first established in the 19th century with the arrival of English immigrants. Catholic schools in the US play an important role in that Catholicism plays a critical role in the development of American culture. The development and enrollment of Americans in Catholic schools increased after World War II, Postwar development and the Cold War in the fight against anti-religious Communism. ^[23] By 1964–1965 Catholic schools accounted for nearly 89% of all schools. private school attendance and 12% of all school age children in school (K-12) in the US. The number of believers (priests, brothers and sisters) was the highest, allowing schools to offer qualified teachers at minimal cost, which meant that most children in the 1940s and 1950s attended their parochial schools for free. ^[23] Since then, there has been a significant decline in school enrollment, mainly due to “Suburbanisation, educational liberalization and the rise of the Catholic middle class.” ^[23] In the United States, Catholic schools are accredited by independent and/or government agencies, and teachers are generally certified. Schools are supported by tuition fees, donations and philanthropic foundations.

In contrast to its public school, Catholic urbanization has made more progress in poor areas than in richer ones. Holy Angels, for example, has become one of the strongest educational institutions in the country; it serves the Kenwood, Oakland neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where 3 out of 4 people live in poverty and violent crime is frequent. ^[23]

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops listed six major responsibilities of Catholic schools. ^[24] They are

1. Encourage and support efforts in the field of Catholic education by promoting the dissemination and implementation of both universal Church education documents and related documents developed by the Bishops of the United States.
2. Supporting educational efforts in the Church in the United States by developing policies, guidelines, and resources for use by bishops in their dioceses.
3. Educational advice upon request, including counseling and representation of bishops
4. Collaboration with the Committee for Evangelism and Catechism in matters of evangelism and catechesis in Catholic schools and universities Catholic educational institutions from pre-school to secondary schools
5. Inclusion in Catholic education of the views and issues of other cultures and people with special pastoral needs through cooperation with other committees / offices

In 2015, the Archdiocese of New York City Scholarship Fund announced the largest ever gift of private money to Catholic schools. Christina and Steven Schwartzmann donated $40 million to a foundation that will provide scholarships to 2,900 children a year. ^[25]

Main article: Catholic education in Australia

Catholic schools have been operating in Australia for over 175 years. The arrival of the first European fleet brought the first Irish Catholics to Australia, predominantly in prisoner transports. Catholics made up one tenth of the convicts who settled in Australia, mostly Irish, while the rest were English and Scots. By 1803, 2,086 Irish-born convicts had been brought to Botany Bay, most of them Catholics. ^[26]

Catholic schools – the largest group of non-public schools in Australia accounting for about 18% of institutions (1705 out of 9529 as of 2009), compared to 11% for independent schools (1022). ^[27] Catholic schools are administered by the Diocesan Catholic Department of Education; some independent schools are owned and operated by Catholic religious orders. In addition, there is at least one school in the territory. Society of St. Pius X, Catholic Traditionalists Having Irregular Canonical Status with Rome (their current canonical status is being decided in Rome for the time being): St. Thomas Aquinas in Tynong, Victoria. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Like other non-public school classes in Australia, Catholic schools receive funding from the Commonwealth government. Because it is neither an institution of the church, nor a restriction on religious freedom, nor a religious test for public office, it is not considered a violation of the separation of church and state in Australia. This was the 1981 High Court Protection of Public Schools (DOGS) decision in which the judges selectively interpreted section 116 of the Australian Constitution and is controversial. ^[28]

New Zealand

See also: Public Integrated School

Catholic education in New Zealand was first introduced after the arrival of the first Catholic bishop, Jean Baptiste Pompallier in 1838. One year after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the first Catholic school in New Zealand was established in Auckland 1841. ^[29]

The schools were originally run by seven sisters from Ireland and aimed at helping the Maori population and new settlers. From 1853 to 1875, the provincial governments funded grants to Catholic schools. The Education Act of 1877, however, permitted all schools to be free, compulsory and secular, and consequently prohibited the funding of Catholic schools. Early 19In the 1970s, due to enrollment growth and funding restrictions, Catholic schools accumulated large amounts of debt or fell into disrepair. The government, fearing that the public system would not be able to cope with the influx of students if Catholic schools were closed, passed the 1975 Conditional Integration of Private Schools Act. The law allowed Catholic schools and other private schools to “integrate” into the public system by receiving public funding and maintaining their Catholic character in exchange for complying with public school conditions, such as teaching the nationally established curriculum. The first Catholic schools were merged on August 1979, and by 1984 all Catholic schools in New Zealand were amalgamated. ^[29]

As of July 2013, 65,700 students were enrolled in Catholic schools in New Zealand, representing 8.6 per cent of the total enrollment. ^[30] Most of them are New Zealand Europeans. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Catholic schools are owned by the owner, usually the bishop of the diocese. Catholic schools in New Zealand are currently referred to as ‘Public Integrated Schools’ for funding purposes, meaning that teachers’ salaries, teaching materials and school activities (eg electricity and gas) are funded by the government, but school property is not. Catholic schools in New Zealand are built on land owned by the diocese; if the government financed the ownership of a Catholic school and capital works beyond the powers of any other private property owner, it would transfer wealth to the bishop, violating the separation of church and state. Instead, parents of students in Catholic schools pay “attendance fees” to owners to cover property costs: usually NZD From 39$0 to $430 per year for elementary students (ages 5-12) and $730 to $860 per year for secondary students (ages 13-18). ^[31]

The vast majority of South Americans are Christians, mostly Catholics. More than 80% in Latin American countries and about 65–70% in Brazil identify themselves as Catholic. Catholic educational practices were brought into the local Inca population by the Spaniards, Portuguese and Europeans. Anticlericalism was founded in 19century as a result of a temporary alienation between church and state. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Funding

Public funding

Main article: public school

In some countries, Catholic schools are funded by the state. These are institutions that require state assistance. The same is with public schools, where the government, which obliges schools to pay for the needs of schools in whole or in part, through taxes from the population. Australian Catholic schools fall under this category where the Australian government funds Catholic schools as well as public schools. ^[32] Non-self-supporting Catholic schools in Scotland are another example where institutions are wholly funded by the Scottish Government.

Private Schools

Main article: Private School

Private schools, also known as independent schools, are not run by local, state or national governments. Instead, they can choose their students and be funded in whole or in part by tuition fees charged to students, instead of relying on the government as public schools do. Students may also receive scholarships for admission to a private school, depending on the talent of the student. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Volunteer schools

Main article: Volunteer school

Volunteer schools are a kind of “subsidized school”, meaning that they get most of their running costs from the central government through local governments and do not charge students. Unlike other types of supported schools, only 90% of the capital costs of a voluntary aid school are provided by the government. The foundation contributes the remainder of the capital costs, owns the school’s land and buildings, and appoints the majority of school principals. The governing body manages the school, employs staff and decides on admission to the school in accordance with established rules Pupils follow the National Curriculum, with the exception of religious schools which may teach religious education in accordance with their own faith. In the service sector in England approximately 22% elementary schools and 17% of secondary schools receive volunteer assistance, including all Roman Catholic and non-Christian schools. ^{[ citation needed ]}

International benefits

Preference for the poor

Catholic schools experienced changes announced by the Second Vatican Council Regarding Catholic social education targeted at the poor: “First of all, the Church offers its educational services to the poor, or those who are deprived of family help and affection, or those who are far from the faith . .. “ ^[33] These changes have led to the fact that in Brazil, Peru and Chile, where contributions have led to a “new way of studying at school” for inclusion in education of low-income and poor strata of the population. ^{[ citation needed ]}

High attendance and productivity

Empirical data in the US ^{[ fail test ]} and Australia indicates that achievement and attendance in Catholic schools is higher than in public schools. Evans and Schwab (1998) found in their experiment that attending Catholic schools in the United States increased the likelihood of completing high school or going to college by 13%. ^[34] Similarly, an experiment by Williams and Carpenter (1990) from Australia, by comparing previous examinations in private and public schools, showed that private school students outperform public school students in all educational, social and economic indicators. ^[34]

The development of girls in society

Catholic schooling has significantly changed the role of women in countries such as Malta and Japan. The Catholic education of girls in Malta, for example, points to: “…evidence of a remarkable commitment to the full development of girls in a global society.” ^[33] Similarly, all girls’ schools in Japan also contributed greatly to the “Personal Education Patriarchal Society” . ^[33]

Criticism

Economic inequality

Expensive expenses and the need to secure high salaries make it difficult to run Catholic schools. Many Catholic schools in the United States of Inland America, which have traditionally served the most, are being forced to close more frequently. This apparent rejection of some of the poor can be seen as contrary to the basic tenets of the Catholic school. There is a clear contradiction when wealthier Catholic schools receive more resources and are more favored than schools in low-income areas. ^[33] This is also seen in Latin America and other countries where financial constraints on serving the poor create barriers and lack government support or other subsidies. ^{[ citation needed ]}

Political context

There have been cases where some political ideologies associated with secularism or countries with high nationalism are suspicious of what is taught in Catholic schools. The moral and social teachings of Catholic schools can be seen as “Continuation of colonial cultural dominance in society”, is still felt in Zambia, Malawi, and the colonies of Spain. ^[33]

Homosexuality

In 2019, a Catholic school in Kansas City, Kansas was criticized for its decision not to enroll a child of a gay couple on the grounds that it “helps our students understand the meaning and purpose of their sexuality” . ^[35]

In 2015, it was reported that longtime director of religious education Margie Winters was fired from Waldron Mercy Academy after a parent reported her directly to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for marrying her longtime partner- lesbians at a civil ceremony in 2007. Winters was candid with the school administration during her recruitment and was advised to keep a low profile, which she said she did. Many parents expressed anger and concern at the school’s decision. Principal Nell Stetzer justified the decision by arguing that “many of us make life choices that are contrary to current church teachings, but in order to continue a Catholic school, Waldron Mercy must abide by those teachings.” But she urged “an open and honest discussion of this and other divisive issues at the interface between our society and our church.” Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, however, has not yet responded to such a call and instead spoke in favor of her dismissal, simply calling the dismissal “common sense”. ^{[36] [37]}

Secularized nature

In 2017, a Catholic school in San Anselmo, California was criticized for removing or moving most Catholic statues and art in an attempt to better accommodate non-Catholic students. ^[38]

Teacher strikes have taken place in 16 countries over the past two months

The fall of 2019 has become a landmark in terms of the number of teacher protests in different regions of the world. We have selected media reports that talk about strikes or preparations for them. Teachers protested against non-payment of salaries, poor working conditions and increased working hours. But the most common demand was a pay rise. The strike remains one of the most effective methods of fighting for workers’ rights.

Czech Republic

Teachers in more than half of the Czech Republic’s schools will join the strike demanding higher wages, which will begin in the country on 6 November. Teachers are seeking a 10% salary increase. The authorities agreed to increase them by an average of 8% in 2020, while the union initially demanded a 15% increase in teachers’ salaries. https://tass.ru/obschestvo/7077469

Canada

On November 1, the union representing primary school teachers in Ontario (Canada) reports that they are overwhelmingly 98% voted for a strike if necessary. The Ontario Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has been trying to secure a new employment contract with the provincial government over the past few weeks. ETFO President Sam Hammond did not give a specific deadline for a possible start of the strike. The talks were tense, he said, as they came amid government attempts to impose wage caps on public sector workers and increase class sizes, which would cut thousands of teaching positions.

Italy

The Italian School Workers’ Union intends to hold a large-scale rally in Rome on 11 November. In addition, union members are preparing for a nationwide strike. Neither the past nor the current government listened to the opinion of the trade unions regarding the rules on the labor market and wages, the organizers of the actions noted. details: https://regnum.ru/news/society/2765009.html

The Netherlands

In light of the threat of a nationwide strike of elementary and secondary school teachers scheduled for November 6, the Dutch government went to meet the demands of the teachers’ union and allocated additional funds for education. An additional 460 million euros will be used to raise salaries and increase the staffing of school institutions, which will reduce the excessive workload on teachers. The publication notes that the position of the current cabinet of ministers has long been sharply criticized by education workers for their openly manifested unwillingness to take into account the existing need for additional funding in this area, despite the existence of a budget surplus. March 2019teachers have already been on a one-day strike, which has been supported by a number of related trade union organizations. https://rossaprimavera.ru/news/92f57b8f

Lithuania

On November 1, Lithuanian teachers began preparing for a strike. “Among the workers of education there is a real preparation for a strike. Currently, lawyers are intensively working on procedural issues. If the rulers do not correct their mistakes and do not fulfill their obligations, there will be a strike,” said Inga Ruginienė, chairman of the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation. The Lithuanian Trade Union of Education Workers last week completed negotiations with the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports, which did not agree with all the requirements of teachers. https://www.kompravda.eu/online/news/3656713/ Trade unions of health workers, firefighters, as well as university workers are considering the possibility of supporting the teachers’ strike.

USA

In Chicago, USA, thousands of teachers continue to strike, OTP reported on October 24.

Poland

On October 23, the head of the Union of Polish Teachers, Sławomir Broniaz, announced an indefinite “Italian” strike in the country for achieving the implementation of labor legislation in relation to educators in the country. “The ‘Italian’ strike will consist of ‘carrying out only those duties that are spelled out in the legislation on education.’ For example, the working week of a school teacher should be 40 hours. And there is no additional burden that they are trying to impose, but they don’t want to pay,” the head of the SPU said. The decision to launch an “Italian” strike was made through a survey of Union members: more than 227,000 educators took part. In addition, the Union of Polish Teachers has prepared a draft law that provides for an increase in wages for educators. https://mediabrest.by/news/novosti-v-mire/polsha-uchitelya-nachinayut-bessrochnuyu-zabastovku

On October 15, thousands of schoolchildren affected by the teachers’ action staged street protests and then gathered in front of the presidential palace and other strategically important sites to draw President George Weah’s attention to the situation.

Now this is not required. https://otr-online.ru/news/profsoyuzy-grecii-provodyat-ocherednuyu-zabastovku-135353.html
