Exclusion is like a Prison

fragment from the She-Migrator series by Oana Maroti

I, very serious, with a long-term diploma in inclusive education and years of practice plus projects related to inclusion at different stages of life, looking at the impossibility of development and job opportunities in my area, as an education specialist, but an immigrant.

While I am offered classes that represent 3 months of the content of the classes I took, my diploma shows that I have been examined for years and know the subject in detail.

Excluding is easy; integrating is the real challenge. That is why some are already specialized to the core and can clearly demonstrate their professional career and the content of what they studied at any time.

If training is done taking into account existing studies and job qualifications, there are fewer headaches for everyone. Someone like me can be easily orientated, there is work, few specialists, given that the inclusion protocol in Spain is quite new, since 2019, although the law has already existed for a long time.

The fact that I have wasted time and energy showing up and working on anything else and that I am still in this situation of uncertainty, applying every day and not having stability is due to a lack of specific career guidance and inclusion within the labor system.

Exclusion is like a prison, each personal development goes straight into a wall, a wall that is specially maintained so that the impossibility would end all positive stimulation and vital energy, so you pack your things, renounce, go home, and lose invested money, that all in all means making a lot of money on just one immigrant´s back, plus you get super specialized workers paid like unqualified.

Business patterns relying on immigration are not valid as socially inclusive planning and by all means, such actions are against human rights.
