Relationship of the film The language of butterflies and educational policies in Colombia

In recent decades, Colombia has framed its educational policies around globalization and education;For the 1980s, “first generation reforms were presented that traveled in the search for efficiency and quality, aimed at the formation of human resources that allow increasing the international competitiveness of national economies” (Gorostiaga, 2011, citedIn Munévar, 2017, P. 69). This is reflected in the Political Constitution of 1991, where education is established as a mandatory right and public service that has social function (articles 67 and 68). From this historical moment, both quantity has been sought – confererture – and quality in education;In this way, the Nation “faces the challenge of the unequal development of education, both in coverage and in the quality of learning, which affects the most disadvantaged socio -economic sectors, rural areas, certain geographical regions and minority ethnic groups”(Dávila, 2018).

The film The Language of the butterflies released in 1999, directed by José Luis Cuerda and whose context is the Spanish Civil War;It shows us how the teacher can generate motivations to stimulate knowledge and assess as a human being to each of his students promoting the relationship between friendship, love and freedom, from the beginning of history the teacher takes care of falling in love with the childThat he likes school and remove from his mind those negative thoughts he had as a mistreatment teacher for the experiences told by his father.

The teacher Gregorio with patience, kindness, dedication, motivation and creativity managesIt is about love and the search for freedom in several ways and one of them is the struggle for the independence of Republicans in the small town, freedom that has a great cost, since the end in the search for that freedom is not alwaysWhat you want, in this case the family to protect themselves became traitors of friendship, freedom, their ideologies;To save themselves they had to lie, but in the end the child makes it clear that he is going to remember his teacher forever. In the most significant scene of the film when in the end Moncho runs behind the truck that leads the prisoners and shouts, “Probócide!, and Tilonorrinco! Which means the validity of his friendship and thanks from Moncho to his teacher for his last sacrifice. Therefore, Moncho did not forget the teacher, but participate as many people during the Spanish war to save and save the lives of his loved ones.

From my point of view and taking into account that education is inherent to human societies, so it has contributed to the construction of societies in all phases of their evolution and continues in development process, the film is a sample ofthat if you can achieve in the first extent, educate and in the second instance do so with efficiency and quality and show us that one of the keys to improve education and achieve quality is through educational policies that must be aimed at the fact that the teacher exercisesHis work with motivation, creativity, patience and dedication to generate significant learning to their students, related learning to their context and the reality with which one lives;Not forgetting that the priority purpose of education is the full development of human personality and the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Teachers should worry about each of their students so that they acquire knowledge and values, promoting active and participatory teaching, always keeping in mind that it is very clear that the responsibility for the basic education of children and young people is a collective competence thatIt does not correspond only to the State, but must clearly and concretely involve families, the solidarity sector, universities, civil organizations and the business sector.
