Associations of directors and families of public schools, Heiz and EHIGE, have denounced that “the Department of Education has ignored the demands of school communities.” As you have indicated, the responses to these requests are being received this week and are "concerned" about the lack of resources available for this. As if it were not enough, “the Department of Education wants to impose obvious cuts,” they complained.

According to the institutions, those responsible for the dining room “intend to halve the working day” and will make less spending on the resources of the centers that have a smaller budget. As a result, “there will be no resources for lowering classroom ratios and strengthening ICT and consultants,” EHIGE and Heiz warned. They have called on the Department of Education to desist from its intentions and to launch a campaign that integrates all the Maximum Organs of Representation for the Department of Education to take into account the requests of the centres.

To respond to the consequences of confinement, they provide “more resources” for the next course. In recent times they have asked Educación to apply it. In his words, these resources are “essential” to address the challenges identified by the Department of Education, such as “digitalisation, Euskera and emotional care”.
