Overview
- The notice at the Faculty of Education’s Vicedecanato de Prácticas states that the office does not attend to parents because all internship students are of legal age.
- The image of the sign spread rapidly on social media, with Ideal reporting roughly one million views within hours on Tuesday.
- Vicedecano Pedro Valdivia said the aim was not to exclude families but to encourage students to manage their own procedures.
- Valdivia described parental visits as isolated incidents rather than a pattern requiring routine staff attention.
- The faculty says formal channels exist for parental representation and remains open to dialogue, as student interviews reflected low awareness and mixed views, and ABC framed the episode as part of wider parental involvement in universities.
