SAO PAULO - was approved this week by the Committee on Education and Culture House of Representatives, a measure that allows private schools to make the disengagement of students defaulting on more than 90 days after the end of the semester.
Mr Márcio Franca (PSB-SP), author of the bill (PL 1042/07), argues that one should give a guarantee or freedom of action for schools that are not forced to pay for a long period of default.
Today, as provided in the 9870 Act, which governs the relationship between schools and families, schools can do to shut down the student defaults, since it does not harm their school life and not to cause embarrassment.
According to current legislation, the shutdown can only be done at the end of the school year, if the course is six months, the end of the semester, if annual year end.
What changes?
The proposal provides that the shutdown can be done at the end of the semester to verify the default, even if the course is annual. To Polyanna Carlos da Silva, a lawyer from Pro Test - Consumers' Association, making the student shutdown of the end of the semester where the course is an annual abusive.
"It is a form of expulsion," believes. "The school has other means to collect the debt and so can not adversely affect a student's school or embarrass him," he said. The lawyer also refutes the justification of the author of the bill that the default affect the student's school. "The establishment maintains a maximum of one year the student in default, this period does not cause much damage as the project tries to demonstrate."
Polyana further reminds us that the end of the school term, institutions are not required to make the reenrollment the student. "They can not make the registration or propose renegotiation," he explains.
Balanced relationship
The project had been approved by the Consumer Protection of the house. The justification as the rapporteur of the committee, Rep. Jose Carlos Araujo, is that the only novelty of the project is to mischaracterize as abusive clause prohibiting the disconnection of the student before the end of the period.
"The current students' rights are still guarded," said Ali in a report. "The project aims so only to avoid the worsening situation of default for a longer period, especially in cases where the school calendar is an annual. For the rapporteur, the proposal balances the consumer relations.
The project will be analyzed by the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship and to become law must still be voted in plenary session, reviewed by committees of the Senate, then be sanctioned or vetoed by the President.
The road is still long for the rule change. Meanwhile, what applies is that the Off from the middle of the school year is abuse. Polyanna advises students who visit the state with the claim Procon or even go to court.
