The educational community of IES Joan Fuster in Sueca faces a new administrative setback. The Department of Education has denied the implementation of the vocational training program for Nursing Assistant Technician (TCAE), a demand they considered justified by the need for healthcare personnel in the area. The lack of transparency in the decision criteria has generated discontent and a sense of helplessness among teachers and students.
The digital file: a management tool that does not resolve opacity 📋
The Department uses the ITACA educational management system to process these requests. This software centralizes data on enrollment, ratios, and school resources. However, the denial of the TCAE program at IES Joan Fuster shows the platform's limitations when decision criteria are not made public. The system can generate reports, but the absence of an external audit or a clear communication channel leaves schools without the ability to challenge or understand the administrative ruling.
The Department bets on training on paper 🤷
While public healthcare desperately needs more nursing assistants, the Department seems to have found an infallible formula: denying the programs with the highest labor demand. Thus, instead of training professionals to cover sick leaves and retirements, they opt to maintain the mystery. Perhaps next year they will offer a program in management of administrative uncertainty, which would at least help to understand how these decisions are made.
