Authorities of the Productive Conglomerate S.A. (CPSA), a company attached to the Ministry of Industries and National Production, met with officials from the Decentralized Service for Standardization, Quality, Metrology and Technical Regulations (SENCAMER), in order to develop regulations and their regulations to define the parameters of quality control of school uniforms for girls, boys and adolescents in primary, secondary and diversified education in Venezuela.
In this context, Héctor Bravo, president of the Productive Conglomerate, explained that the Productive Conglomerate convened different members of the textile sector with a vocation for production, comprehensive certifiable management and quality of inputs and products, such as clothing.
“Together with Sencamer, we seek to develop regulations and their regulations sufficient to cover the quality of school uniforms for all boys and girls, which is the second basic need, clothing, so that they are quality garments, certified with a sufficient level of performance in the textile sector for something as important as education, both at the preschool and basic levels, and at a diversified middle level,” said Bravo.
For his part, Luis Avenaño, head of the Technical Regulations Division of SENCAMER, reported that they presented a proposal with which they intend to define the properties that school uniforms must have, so that they can determine the quality of the products that are being delivered to all boys and girls.
With regard to the characteristics that school uniforms must have in order for them to be of quality, Avenaño indicated that they are studying what part of these properties must be the resistance of those clothes and the dyeing in order for the colors to remain over time.
“In addition, we have discussed the possibility of incorporating sizes, so that those offered to children actually meet the needs of the national public, that is, that a size 10 is not 10, but 9 or 8,” he explained.
For his part, Marcos Zarikian, spokesman for the Venezuelan Textile Association, asserted that the school uniforms that children wear must be of quality. “For example, using 100% synthetic fiber in places with a warm, very hot environment irritates boys and should not be used. It's important to define the type of garment that should be worn.”
Zarikian added that they are proposing a meeting with all public schools: “For representatives of those schools to come, explain to them the benefits, and prejudices of one thing with another, in order to make the decision with the definitive parameters of the school clothes to be used.”
These actions are part of the economic recovery program, promoted by President Nicolás Maduro and promoted by the Minister of Industries and National Production, Alex Saab, with the objective of strengthening domestic production, the supply of the domestic market that contribute to the economic development of the country.
