Mexico City - Justice Olga Sánchez Cordero, of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), said that the State must ensure that the rights of children are given precedence over those of teachers, after members of the National Coordinating Committee of Education Workers (CNTE) stopped giving classes.
Sánchez Cordero said that the Mexican State is obliged to ensure that the constitutional mandate which applies to all authorities is respected, because children have a right to be educated. She also insisted that the dissident teachers return to their classrooms in order to teach.
