Nine days after being appointed, the Secretary of Education of Medellín, Alberto Uribe confirmed leave the continuity in office at the discretion of the Mayor Daniel Quintero.
The decision was taken because the procedures to suspend the payment of his pension, a requirement to take office, will take 15 days to a month and this would delay the processes and construction of education issues for the development plan.
Although Mr. Uribe has extensive experience in the education field because he was principal of the University of Antioquia, for 12 years there is concern about the future of that portfolio because Alberto Uribe, in addition to the delays to assume his position, could only be one year in the secretary’s office because he turns 70 and that forces him to submit his resignation once he reaches the mandatory retirement age.
Today many wonder about the convenience of that appointment and what will happen in a year with the processes initiated by Mr. Alberto Uribe While defining the situation of Mr. Uribe, Pedro Mora will be in charge of the secretariat.
