Brief Description

The Ministry of Education - Mineduc promotes peaceful and harmonious coexistence so that educational centers are safe and violence-free spaces, through the Specific Regulations for the Identification and Resolution of Cases Derived from Violence Against Children and Adolescents in the National Education System. It provides guidelines for monitoring cases of physical, psychological, and sexual violence committed by teaching and administrative staff or students of educational establishments. The Ministry's provisions establish the separation from their job of individuals listed in Renas with a history of sexual assault; for this purpose, a disciplinary process for justified dismissal is initiated, considering the commission of crimes against sexual freedom and indemnity as a serious or very serious offense (Mineduc, 2024).

Las disposiciones del Ministerio establecen la separación de su puesto laboral de las personas que figuren en el Renas con antecedentes de agresor sexual, para ello, se inicia proceso disciplinario por despido justificado, al considerar la comisión de delitos contra la libertad e indemnidad sexual como falta grave o muy grave (Mineduc, 2024).
