The 2020-2021 course has not started well in the Haurreskolak Consortium. In addition to the deficient and obscure management being carried out by the Management (including decisions outside its own regulations), there has been a decline in the enrolment of more than 800 children (the highest in history) and the number of children being killed every day. The strong impact of the lockdown is taking place in the Haurreskolas, and the management of the Haurreskolak Consortium and the Department of Education is being denounced.

Last year, in addition to delaying the registration period for the course 2020-2021, no registration campaign was promoted. In view of this situation, and while resources are being denied to the Haurreskolak public network, what will the administration do? Will the EUR 27 million he has offered in recent courses to private centres offering the 0-3 stage be put back one year? When the Haurreskolak are more than ever limiting the budget of the Public Consortium, how will the new Education Department of Jokin Bildarratz act?

At STEILAS, it seems to us that the PNV and the PSE have long taken a decision: to promote a privatizing educational policy. That is why we also question the will and the ability to take decisions to safeguard the public model of haurreskola. In the same vein, we question the performance of the new manager of the Haurreskolak Consortium: Zorione Etxezarraga arrived in January to implement the same policy. The management of the last few weeks has confirmed this.

We cannot accept such a situation without further ado. We can no longer see how public money is spent on a classicist educational system that segregates Basque society. Because of the desire of those who want to receive a differentiated education (not the right), we have to say loud and clear that this social division is taking place.

The Haurreskolak Consortium needs to increase the budget in order to continue to provide a quality service. It needs courageous educational policies. It needs policies that dare to support the public model without complexes or fears. That they dare to question the subsidies that go to private centres and demand more investment for the public model. If there is no such thing, we have a party in Basque Public Education.

It is clear from the STEILAS trade union that the future of the Haurreskolak Consortium will be based mainly on two main elements: integration and gratuitousness. Full integration into the Basque Educational System. Because we are also education. The management business model must be left behind and free of charge: the system of exclusionary and elitist quotas has left thousands of families and children out of the right to service since 2003, and a society that takes into account the safeguarding of life cannot assume this injustice. Gratuitousness is purely political will, such as maintaining the situation to the same extent as in the various interests or pressures. We want the will of public policies to be to support, strengthen and make visible the public model, you?
