The communist deputy Juan Grabois presented in Congress an authoritative bill to create a “Comprehensive Digital Education Program (EDI)”, an initiative that seeks to regulate the use of social networks in children under 18 years of age within the education system.
The proposal was promoted together with legislators from different political spaces, including sectors of Peronism, the Radical Civic Union and former members of the PRO.
Grabois himself announced the initiative on his X account, where he highlighted the creators of the project: “What can those of us who think differently do together? What could Nicolás Massot, Maximiliano Ferraro, Monica Frade, Blanca Osuna, Paula Penacca, Fernanda Ávila, Juan Carlos Molina, Marcelo Mango and me do together? We introduced a bill to urgently create a Comprehensive Digital Education (EDI) Program. A digital ESI”.
Along the same lines, the deputy justified the project by linking recent cases of threats in schools to the use of networks: “Lately we haven't stopped seeing horrible news about what is happening in schools and what happens to our children and adolescents with social networks
.”The text of the project establishes that Integral Digital Education will be mandatory at all levels of the education system, both in public and private schools and in all jurisdictions of the country.
The enforcement authority would be the Ministry of Human Capital, through the Ministry of Education, which will be responsible for the design and execution of the program at the national level.
