Opening new classes or increasing students per class could be the solution for the lack of seats

Sábado14 September 2026 at 14:00

There are still hundreds of students who remain unplaced in a public school at the beginning of this school year. The situation affects several families who are seeking spots for their children in public educational institutions.

Given the scarcity of spots, one of the alternatives pointed out to solve the problem would be to open new classes in existing schools. This measure would allow accommodating more students without the need to build new educational facilities.

Another possibility mentioned is increasing the number of students per classroom. This strategy would also contribute to absorbing the pent-up demand from students who have not yet been allocated.

The beginning of the school year has been marked by this difficulty in accessing public education, highlighting the need for immediate solutions to ensure that all students can secure a spot in public schools.

Why this matters

Hundreds of families in the region face uncertainty regarding the placement of their children in public schools, a situation that directly affects children's right to education. This situation follows a trend of growing demand for public education that school authorities are trying to address.
