The proposed legislation aims to modernize the 2003 law by introducing changes such as reducing average weekly hours from 48 to 45, limiting night shifts, and ensuring adequate rest periods between shifts.

These educators express frustration over undervalued work conditions, low wages compared to the importance of early childhood education, and poor infrastructure in schools. They argue that the new school year will see reduced educational quality due to minimal services, affecting communication with families and personalized attention. The educators emphasize the need for institutional recognition of their work and improved educational standards for young children.
