El curso escolar comienza con un sistema educativo al límite: huelgas, protestas docentes y conflictos en nueve autonomías

The school year kicks off under a tense educational system characterized by strikes, teacher protests, and conflicts in nine autonomous regions, <source a33ebb24-5cb> as classes begin officially this Tuesday – they will commence in nearly all of Spain next week <source a33ebb24-5cb>. Demonstrations are announced in three autonomous communities: indefinite in Madrid (starting October 14), one-day in Catalonia (September 8, coinciding with the return to classrooms), and Andalusia (November 11).

The map of teacher conflicts highlighted by unions is broader, encompassing six other autonomous regions, some of which could also lead to strikes: Valencia, Cantabria, Aragon, Balearic Islands, Navarre, and Castilla y Leon. On the first day of classes, the OECD will present the PISA report, the largest international assessment, which typically causes upheavals in certain educational systems, as happened three years ago with Catalonia's results sinking, this year excluded from the test for not meeting the requirements of the examined student sample (causing a camouflage effect on the results). This Monday, it cost the Generalitat's Secretary of Education her job.
