Already the school without Party says that teachers can not provide students with any position, whether political, ideological or religious. The purpose of the motion is to be posted on the wall of the classrooms of all the country's schools a poster, where the duties of the teacher will be written. Among these duties is that the teacher does not take advantage of the captive audience of students to promote their own interests, opinions, views or ideological preferences, religious, moral, political and party.

In addition, the School without party states that the teacher will not make political party propaganda in the classroom or incite their students to participate in demonstrations, public events and demonstrations and that, when dealing with political, socio-cultural and economic, the teacher will present the students fairly - that is, with the same depth and seriousness - the main versions, theories, opinions and competing perspectives about.
