School strikes are already spreading across Spain: the walkout dates families need to know
Cataluña’s youngest pupils are due to walk into empty classrooms on the very first day of term, and the disruption […]
Spain is witnessing a wave of school strikes as teachers across the country protest against overcrowded classrooms, underfunded inclusive education, and inadequate facilities. The strikes began in Cataluña on September 8, with teachers demanding smaller class sizes, better support for pupils with special needs, and improved heating and cooling systems.
The protest is expected to spread to Madrid and Andalucía, with indefinite strikes planned for October and November respectively. In Andalucía, a one-day general strike is scheduled for November 11, while in Comunidad Valenciana, thousands of teachers are set to join a unified demonstration on September 12. The strikes highlight the disparity in resources available to foreign-born pupils, particularly in Alicante, where the majority of the population is made up of foreign nationals.
Parents of under-threes in the Balearic Islands are also facing disruption due to nursery staff strikes starting on October 6.
