Sandra and Rubén
2019. Eight hours and six minutes in the morning. An emergency siren heard in Primary School number 49 brought a lamp to the throat of Moreno, the city in the province of Buenos Aires where exactly a year ago the same school had exploded. The siren was now part of a ceremony to commemorate that tragic morning. A year had passed and students, teachers, and the whole community came together to remember Sandra and Rubén, a head teacher and a janitor who died during the explosion in 2018. The insufficient budget for education and the deteriorating state of school buildings resulted in a tragedy that should never have happened. A gas leak caused the explosion, but the education authorities were rightly held responsible.
