A course between rage and hope

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General1 September 2026 at 04:01

A new school year begins in Catalonia with the Popular Party (PP) leading the Generalitat. The prevailing sentiment among the educational community is one of rage and hope. The rage is a consequence of the continuous attacks that public education has suffered since the PP came to power with the support of the far-right.

All the decisions of the Education Department have been oriented towards reducing resources and questioning a model that should guarantee equal opportunities. The educational community thus faces a new school year marked by these policies.
