Arm Hurts And Headache

AFPA.

This blog is not normally the place where to take partisan positions. But I can not forget Do I have to AFPA. Since it appears that this training organization is currently undergoing internal reforms as well as external (sources here , here and there ) who do not, it's the least we can say, unanimously, I am forced to take sides. The funding, from the U.S. tat regions, risk, the latter being most in demand since the decentralization laws of Mr Raffarin, many suffer from this change. In Guadeloupe, early decentralized institution, the AFPA has closed. A priori, one accuses the AFPA a lack of profitability . Although the term seems to me inappropriate when it comes to education, I note that the equipment we had available was recent and similar to the one you can find in a professional situation. In addition there was a sufficient number (a transit for 2 or 3 people, an automatic level for 2 and a modern PC per person, with licenses Autocad 2008, Covadis and MS Office 2003). Other sections may be less intensive investment (I think, for example tertiary) and there are those who suffer most from competition. This means that the sections, the AFPA, could generate margins for balancing les comptes auront moins de rentrées. Cela fait donc craindre, à terme, une mise en péril des sections nécessitant des investissements plus importants. Ces sections, pour les mêmes raisons, ne trouveront sans doute pas leur équivalent dans l'enseignement privé. Il y a par conséquent un réel danger. Pour des raisons semblables, on passe rarement un scanner dans une clinique ...

Par ailleurs, un financement régional risque de priver certains candidats de formation du fait qu'il ne vivent pas dans la région où elle est dispensée. Ce pourrait être le cas pour les formations de technicien géomètre, présentes à Meaux (Seine et Marne) et Egletons (Corrèze) uniquement.

addition to fears for the institution itself, but also teaching professional who is in danger. It is damaging to all at a time when change, not only employment but also by trade, is no longer an exception but a vicissitude predictable life. No doubt the operation of the AFPA is improved, as is the case for any structure. Unfortunately, the arrangements could lead to more or less imminent, the closure of centers, which, among others, will exacerbate inequality of access to vocational education in the area. Many have been fortunate for decades to follow the courses of the AFPA, and I sincerely hope that this is the case much longer.
