The students begin a new training process as future special education educators, since many of them are carrying out their first observation practices in educational establishments.

With the presence of directors, academics, students, parents, family and friends, the emotional investiture ceremony was held for the second-year students of the Pedagogy in Differential Education career at the University of La Serena, who begin their internships in classroom.

During the activity carried out in the Pentagon Room of the Andrés Bello Campus, each of the students received an apron from the hands of their third-year classmates, thus symbolizing the beginning of a new training process as future special education educators, since many of these young people are carrying out their first observation practices in establishments.

The fourth-year student of the program, Macarena Muñoz, congratulated her second-year classmates and urged them to “take this program seriously because Differential Education was created to defend the right to education, regardless of the differences we have. from each other. Be strong because reality is harsh (…) Be positive references, and to achieve this it is necessary that you never stop learning. Grow as well-rounded people and never stop reading because reading opens our minds, nourishes it, develops it and makes us critical, but above all it makes us aware of improving our environment.”

While the academic of the Department of Education, Dr. Georgina García, highlighted the effort made by these students, ensuring that “they have acquired and built theoretical concepts to be able to help not only others, but also to improve the entire teaching of the educational system. Chilean, we know we have to improve.” Furthermore, he pointed out that "today they enter the classrooms, a real school, a complex and harsh world, where they will be faced with ethical and professional situations, therefore we are here to accompany them in this process (...) What you are going to do is ensure the profound right that we all have to quality education, with equity.”

The activity included musical interventions by students of this degree assigned to the Faculty of Humanities.
