Los profesores en huelga pintan de verde el centro de Madrid: “Los gobiernos están abandonando la educación pública”

La primera jornada del paro indefinido concluye con una manifestación de profesores y estudiantes entre el Paseo del Prado y la calle Alcalá

Los profesores en huelga pintan de verde el centro de Madrid: “Los gobiernos están abandonando la educación pública”

Teachers in Madrid have announced a severe indefinite strike, declaring that "public education centers will come to a complete halt". The final day that anyone expects to be normal in the public Ignacio Zuloaga school in the Tetuán district of Madrid has not been as usual. Teachers are awaiting the outcome of a lottery to determine who must work as minimal service on Wednesday, the first day of the indefinite strike.

By the time it begins, the stoppage is on everyone's lips during the break, and the vast majority want to strike and protest in the streets. Laura Peinado Jiménez, a 36-year-old teacher at the school, says, "We have reached a point where the situation is unsustainable." Teachers have never experienced an indefinite strike in Madrid before.

"This is the time to fight for a high-quality public education. In the classroom, we have many students with special needs, and to respond to all of them individually, we need more time to prepare the lesson and more hands to attend to the students."
