Education counselor Cristina Uriarte confirmed last October that the CAV would have a new education law in the first quarter of 2020, but, given the project's trajectory, few people expected it. Uriarte, who has been announcing the law for seven years, was the great objective set by the Basque Government for the last legislature, but has not succeeded.

From the beginning, the news of the new law was very suspicious by various agents working in the defense of the public school: in short, these agents believe that the incorporation of the law into the concerted school will harm the public school, and they are clear that the public school must be a priority. Thus, it has been a spark of a new distribution of resources and funding of educational centers, in order to hinder the relationship between public and concerted. The segregation of students has been one of the main fields of play of this bitter relationship – students with special needs are mainly dedicated to public schools, and the public school accuses the concerted of not acting correctly.

In view of this, what has the Basque Government done? One meeting after another with public and concerted schools? Discuss thorny issues over and over again with each other? Looking for alliances with political parties to ensure a stable law? Well, no. Like when Heziberri was approved, and as the Department of Education has been accused of many other processes and crises, this time he is also accused of ignoring the educational community in decision-making spaces and of acting unilaterally. After more than six years of work, in October 2019, Cristina Uriarte presented in Parliament a document of reflection, a document that is not a bill, elaborated by the administration and its experts, and to speak about it they convened two meetings of personalities of the educational field, which was later approved by the School Council of the Basque Country. Nor did he argue with the political parties.

The result, a draft that has very little satisfied anyone: for example, on the scope of such basic funding, says nothing; it also talks about school segregation that is at the heart of the debate, without proposing concrete measures – a year earlier, the government rejected the proposal for parliamentary law presented by the Zubiak Eraikiz platform to overcome school segregation, arguing that the new educational law would not address the issue;

Against this background, it is difficult to know what will happen with the intention of law in the new legislature. If the PNV-PSE continues to rule, are they going to grab the potato hot or leave it on the curb? After all, nothing needs to be done in the field of Education, and during these eight years Cristina Uriarte has had to work on numerous fronts, the latter, highly criticized for the management carried out by the Department of Education in relation to COVID-19. Will Uriarte continue to be at the forefront of Education, if he rules the PNV-PSE, or will someone else take over the boat, at a time when the entire educational community is looking with concern at September?
