ADP denies official stance on teaching Creole in Dominican schools
The Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP) issued a statement this Sunday to clarify its position regarding the public debate on the possible incorporation of the Creole language into the national education system. The teachers’ union was emphatic in pointing out that, to date, there is no defined institutional stance on this issue.
Through its Executive Committee, the organization specified that the teaching of Creole in classrooms has not been an agenda item or a subject of formal discussion within its decision-making bodies. Therefore, any statement that purports to attribute an official position to the union lacks foundation in its internal processes.
No institutional consensus
The guild emphasized that, since no internal debate has taken place, it is impossible for the entity to have a policy or resolution on the matter. In this sense, the ADP called on the public not to interpret opinions or information circulating externally as guild decisions.
The Executive Committee reiterates that no institutional line has been set on this matter and that the opinions circulating do not represent the official position of the organization.
ADPWith this clarification, the association seeks to clear up the doubts generated around this educational issue, reaffirming that any official statement must arise exclusively from the internal and democratic mechanisms that govern the union organization.
The ADP’s position remains, for the moment, neutral, awaiting the possibility that the matter may be addressed in the corresponding dialogue spaces if its membership decides so in the future.
