It is essential to correct the course of social policies in educational and nutritional matters fundamentally in the gestation stage of women, because otherwise there is a risk of having malnourished infants, with low level of motor and intellectual abilities, said the PRI federal deputy Sayonara Vargas Rodríguez.
For this reason, she presented, before the Permanent Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, a proposal with five points of agreement to exhort the Federal Executive and the members of the National System for the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents (Sipinna) to reformulate the National Strategy for Early Childhood Care (ENAPI).
This, to consider the attention of this population sector from the gestation, as well as to generate an emergent plan to reduce extreme poverty in early childhood in Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Veracruz and Campeche, as they are the entities that have a higher estimate of multidimensional poverty.
Also, the PRI legislator requested the distribution of food supplements to pregnant and lactating women and children 6-59 months of age, and asked the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) to expand of the National Strategy for the Return to Face-to-face Classes in Basic Education Schools, in order to favor the staggered and progressive incorporation of children at the preschool level and the first years of primary school into face-to-face classes.
Vargas Rodríguez also urged the Ministry of Health to implement a vaccination program against Covid-19 for children aged 5 years or less, with the purpose of guaranteeing their health and their incorporation into face-to-face classes and thereby contributing to the correct development of early childhood.
Economically, the deputy from Hidalgo explained, it is more costly, and even irreversible for a society, the lack of timely intervention during early childhood. He specified that in Mexico an enormous inequality persists for millions of boys and girls in early childhood who cannot effectively access the minimum conditions of well-being.
This situation, he said, exposes the errors of the ENAPI, which reflect that it has not been adequately designed, focused, implemented and reformulated to care for girls and boys in early childhood in Mexico, and this has left them unprotected.
