Fast Check CL establishes said advertisement as #Real, since the figure matches the records of the Ministry of Education. ![\\"\\"](\\" Public-Speech.png\\") By Alejandra Herrera Mora The current situation of social rights in the country was one of the pillars central to the speech of the president, Gabriel Boric Font, in the Account Public held on June 1, 2023. In front of the authorities in the National Congress, the President referred to the challenges and inequalities that the pandemic meant in educational matters, as well as the measures during its management to mitigate these effects. These are part of the Educational Reactivation Plan, as reported by the authority. Which has lines of action in school attendance, strengthening learning, coexistence and mental health. In this context, he added that “with this framework, we started a campaign to call for 20 thousand volunteer tutors in order to reinforce teaching skills literacy throughout Chile. And to date, despite the skepticism that generated this announcement in a moment, we already have 16,000 volunteer registered tutors and in the training process.” ## Support to the Educational System To verify the statement, in the first instance a search was carried out by key concepts on the Ministry of Education website and what it delivered It is a news article published on May 10, 2023. This refers to the National Tutoring Plan, which began its campaign on the 3rd May of this year, to register the 20 thousand volunteers who will form part of the initiative. Those selected will provide support and accompaniment to students from second to fourth grade, allocating one hour weekly on average. The initiative had more than 9 thousand registered at the date of publication of the news. Since the figure does not coincide with what was mentioned by the president, contacted the Ministry of Education to verify if said information has updates. From the portfolio they maintained that “the figure of 16 thousand registered to carry out tutorials reported by President Boric this afternoon, had a cut-off date at May 31. Today, June 1, the number has already exceeded 20 thousand people registered, which must go through a requirements validation process and trainings.” Regarding their age distribution, they indicated that “of them, around 8,800 are over 40 years old and 11,200 under 40 years old”, but they still do not have information regarding its geographical disposition. Likewise, they assured that more than two thousand people are already trained and suitable – or have already started – their tutoring duties. In addition, there are also records of the first community tutorials in the commune of Calle Larga, located in the Valparaíso region, as published on the Preludio Radio website. These are done through sessions online, with a duration between 30 to 60 minutes, for a period of up to 16 weeks per student. ## Conclusion Fast Check CL qualifies the information expressed by the president as #Real, since the indicated figure coincides with the registry of volunteers registered in the National Tutoring Plan, run by the Ministry of Education. From the portfolio indicate that the president used the figure that was cut off on December 31 May, that is, one day before the 2023 Public Account. ![\\"\\"](\\" copy-2.png\\") Share: Copy LinkWhatsAppTwitterTelegramFacebookShare ### You Might Also Like ![\\"Cover Page](\\" Page- Real-CP-2023-768x433.jpg\\") ### “This summer we faced a mega-fire (…) 26 compatriots lost life and fire devastated nearly 400 thousand hectares in a couple of weeks”: #Real __01/06/2023 ![\\"Read](\\" content/uploads/2023/05/Portada-Inchequeable-CP-2023-768x433.jpg\\") ### “To date, 60,222 homes have been delivered and another 131,077 are found under construction”: #Inchequeable __01/06/2023 ![\\"Cover](\\" content/uploads/2023/05/Portada-Real-CP-2023-768x433.jpg\\") ### “We completed the transfer of almost 15 thousand hectares of ancestral lands in the Tarapacá region”: #Real __02/06/2023 ![\\"Cover](\\" content/uploads/2023/05/Portada-Real-CP-2023-768x433.jpg\\") ### “In the fields (…) 17% have a fixed internet connection, while in cities is close to 70%”: #Real __01/06/2023 ![\\"Cover](\\" content/uploads/2023/05/Portada-Real-CP-2023-768x433.jpg\\") ### “We provide a contribution to compensate for the increase in the food basket and a Winter Bonus of 120 thousand pesos for 7 million people.
