They denounce that sometimes the school medical service is empty because the place is taken care of by the teachers themselves, that the school bus has not been running for many years, that deaf classmates do not have interpreters to be able to take classes.
“The authorities tell us that bedbugs get into the school because of passing dogs, but the dogs don’t. That we also bring them and well, it is likely that a colleague brings them but they have not given us measures to avoid it. Then how we do it? because it is more likely that I take them from here to my house than that I bring them from my house“says a student.
