The educational mobilization in the Marina Alta region continues. The area will take to the streets again this Wednesday, June 3rd, with a new demonstration called for... DéniaThe call for applications stems from Platform for Public Education, who has called for the participation of families, teachers and students to support the demands of the educational community and show their support for the mobilizations that have been ongoing for more than three weeks throughout the Valencian Community.
The protest will begin at 19:00 PM from Jaume I Square in Dénia and aims to become a new demonstration of strength of the education. public in the region.
A new mobilization in the fourth week of the strike
The demonstration comes after several weeks of negotiations between the Ministry and the unions STEPV, CCOO, UGT, CSIF and ANPE, in which the parties continue without reaching a global agreement that would allow the indefinite strike to end.
Over the past few days, there have been further meetings, document exchanges, and consultations with faculty. However, significant differences remain on issues such as... student-teacher ratios in classrooms, teaching staff, educational infrastructure, or teachers' working conditions.
The Dénia demonstration is part of the new strategy agreed upon by unions and educational platforms following a consultation with more than 30.000 Valencian teachers, who overwhelmingly opted to maintain pressure on the administration through selective actions and coordinated mobilizations.
The defense of public education and the Valencian language are at the heart of the demands.
The poster released by the organization summarizes some of the main demands that remain on the table during the negotiations. These include the reduction of student-teacher ratios in classrooms, the demand for some decent educational infrastructure, the rejection of the cuts and job insecurity and the defense of Valencian as the language of the education system.
Under the slogan of a public school "of quality and in Valencian", the Platform for Public Education insists that the demands go beyond the working conditions of the teaching staff and directly affect the educational model that the students will receive in the coming years.
The organizers wanted to give the event a strong social and civic character. For this reason, the demonstration is not only aimed at teachers, but also expressly invites everyone to participate. families, students and the entire citizenry.
Could you please tell me what the current student-teacher ratio is and what ratio the striking teachers are demanding?
Don't worry. She couldn't care less. If you look at the writing on the banner, it's very clear… "and in Valencian; our right, your obligation."
While Compromís was in power in the Valencian Community government and all education was in Valencian, they didn't care about student-teacher ratios, salaries, quality... NOTHING. Eight years in power and they did nothing, they didn't even care.
But my friend, the arrival of the right-wing fascists and their interference with Valencian (less than 50% of the teaching hours in Spanish) and their subsequent annoyance and strikes are all the same thing.
Those of us who speak Spanish can go to hell. We have no rights.
Bunch of hicks...
