No child shall be discriminated against or prevented from attending school because of being HIV positive, and an investigation will be carried out within the public school system to see whether there have been any cases of such discrimination. Education Minister Alejandrina German made these remarks as part of the ministerial activities to commemorate World AIDS Day. She told reporters that the ministry was working with teachers and principals on training with relation to awareness and HIV-positive children. The ministry has already adopted the position that no one may be discriminated against within the public school system. Each school also has a guidance counselor or psychologist charged with overseeing sex education and AIDS prevention and awareness programs for the students. “What is most important,” said German, “is that these professionals promote love, consideration and solidarity among those people infected with the AIDS virus.”
