The rector of the UBA criticized Carlos Torrendell before the demonstration
He rector of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Ricardo Gelpidescribed as ridiculous the statements of the Secretary of Education of the Nation, Carlos Torrendellwho had accused the national higher education houses of “invent” students. “With all due respect, that is a ridiculous thing. I respect Torrendell a lot. I respect him a lot as an educator, as a person, but I think that It’s something that was said to avoid today’s march“said the head of the UBA in radio statements.
In this way, Gelpi explained: “it makes no sense. There is one thing that is scientific error, which can be 2 or 3 percent. Now, 40% would imply that out of every 10 students, 4 are invented. It’s a little hard to believe“.
Days ago, Torrendell had stated that “about 38% of the students, we do not know if they are enrolled in a subject. Their enrollment is not reported because the universities have reported it. The funds are distributed according to these polynomials“.
