Final test for Graciela Domínguez Clean SEPyC to see if it works this way

All would mean that Graciela Domínguez Nava has managed to win a round in the battle she is waging to have full control of the Ministry of Public Education and Culture by claiming the recent firing of five unrelated employees, when in reality what happened, is that Governor Rubén Rocha Moya has opened up the possibility for her to achieve better results by removing the obstacles that she says have prevented her from performing optimally as a head of the dependency.

From now on, now free of the obstacles that Dominguez Nava asked to be removed, she begins the countdown to find out if she or the others are the real ballast. It is about that fine political fabric that the Fourth Transformation has used in Sinaloa to leave out the profiles of the government apparatus that offer high expectations in the performance of the public function and during the facts their tasks leave much to be desired.

Someone is playing their own personal game of political chess without paying attention to the rules of the game. She moves the pieces when it suits her and imposes her own mistakes on associates she did not place or did not want, using for individual or group benefit the conjuncture of urgency that the governor directed the cabinet, as one of the recipients, to work. “My officials do not report, they spend it quietly,” Rocha reproached them on September 19.

This same person does not understand that in the task of imparting education, empowering schools is the least important thing as any engineer can do that. Driving an educational model that has social impact requires leadership, understanding and knowledge of the work and culture of the sector, persuading people to change through dialogue, to improve; It is not enough to give orders, let alone strike at labor rights based on leadership agreements with unions.

Well, it turns out that after Rocha Moya’s repeated public calls for Dominguez Nava to improve his performance, calls that some even interpreted as gender-based political violence, at the weekly press conference on Monday, the operation started from the third floor of the Government Palace to make control of the damage the official left in just over 11 months leading SEPyC.

However, by claiming total control over the administrative management of education, an area where the secretary blamed the slow response in repairing the defective physical infrastructure in schools, it caused collateral damage such as the suspension of officials who had nothing to do with the claim that the governor made public domain in the sense of helping students, teachers and parents who demanded decent school spaces without structural problems that put students’ lives, health and learning at risk.

An example of an outburst disguised as compensatory action is the departure of Jaime Quiñones Muñoz, now former coordinator of federal programs of SEPyC, who at the beginning of the Rocha administration was profiled as director of administrative services and who is also one of the visible operators in Sinaloa of the project of Marcelo Ebrard to be the candidate of the National Movement for Revival for the President of the Republic in 2024.

If, according to Dominguez Nava, the Directorates of Administrative Services and Infrastructure were the stumbling block for her to make a decision regarding the renovation of school facilities, then why the pounding on the table, whose only benefit is for the secretary to signal that she is in charge, Jaime Quiñonez had , former leader of SNTE 27, as the affected collateral. The real intention is to cancel the promoter of Ebrard, because Domínguez Nava sympathizes with the possible candidacy of Claudia Sheinbaum, the other “corcola” ” of López Obrador?

So far, SEPyC’s administrative area has won, which, along with elementary education, is the most important, but it doesn’t take long to learn about the neighboring victims in the surprise decision on October 4 to remove Eduardo Ochoa Villegas from SEPyC, Director of Administrative Services ; Roberto Xantos López Macias, Director of Materials Resources and Services; José Cipriano Serrano, in charge of educational infrastructure; Jaime Quiñones Muñoz, Coordinator of Federal Programs and Valentin Soto Gallardo, Deputy Director of Informatics.

The ultimatum given to Graciela Domínguez by the governor corresponds to the investigation carried out within the SEPyC to clarify whether those who indicate that this is the equipment that is blocking the educational institution are correct, as it encourages confrontation with the different currents of morenismo and rochismo integrated in dependence, as well as neglecting the relationship with unions, school principals and all factors and actors that have a bearing on Rocha’s flagship program: quality education with a strong social meaning.

Rocha didn’t give Graciela a blank check; what it gave him was the educational, political and quadrotheistic aptitude graded exam. Let’s see if the new secretary who serves Sinaloa, not a very personal political project, will appear in SEPyC from there.
