Brasilia - The strike of teachers in public universities has lasted 72 days and increases the likelihood that the academic calendar for 2012 has to be extended until early 2013. Most of the 57 institutions, the strike had started before the end of the first half. Thus, when the strike ends, you must complete the activities and only then start the second half of 2012.
The rector of the University of Brasilia (UNB), Jose Geraldo explains that when the strike is finished, the timetable should be reorganized. "The semester does not coincide with the fiscal year. It is likely that people in [to the activities llective] in 2013 with the replacement. But we have lived experiences of other strikes in which it was possible to organize this so qualified, "he said.
The Agency Brazil INSTITUTIONS interviewed principals of the five regions of the country. They ruled out the possibility of canceling the bet in half and replacement. At the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), the teachers ended activities before the stoppage, but the semester has not been officially terminated because the majority did not release the notes in the system. As classes were completed, president Carlos Alexandre Netto thinks it will be necessary to commit the holidays in January to spare - that if the strike does not last long.
Besides the teachers, administrative staff of the federal universities are on strike since June 11. In some universities, the shutdown of the servers also disrupts the timing, since the launch of services such as grades and enrollment may be compromised. The government hopes to resolve the situation with the teachers, then start negotiating with the technicians.
"Once the teachers return, we'll try to fix the calendar. But, if not resolved the issue of technical, we can not really get the next semester. Our expectation is that there is also just a negotiation with that category, "said the rector of the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) Targino de Araujo Filho.
Until Monday (30), teachers will gather at meetings to discuss the strike. Yesterday (26), teachers of at least 12 federal universities have already rejected the proposal by the government on Tuesday (24) and continued the strike. They are the federal universities of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Santa Maria (UFSM), Pernambuco (UFPE), Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE), the Espirito Santo (Ufes) of Uberlândia (UFU), Brasília (UNB ), Paraíba (UFPB), Bahia (UFBA), Goiás (UFG), Pelotas (UFPel) and Rural of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). At the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), the teachers accepted the government's proposal, but the end of the strike is pending approval in a plebiscite.
