- Colegio Dos de Mayo de Castejón has been the first to abandon the English Learning Program PAI or PIP, initiated by UPN in Navarra and criticized by many educational agents. But the Department of Education of the Government of Navarra has stated that it does not give him permission to do so.
Eternal convictions
The Steilas union has denounced that in most of the educational centers in Navarra the PAI was imposed and now it is intended to prevent the exit. Steilas demands that the decision and autonomy of the centers be respected: “For the Government of Navarre, the PAI is a lifelong jail sentence: they get you to never leave.”
The Department of Education argues that upon departure from the programme the centre does not plan what the staffing table will be in the output plan submitted. In addition, the Department says that action has been taken against the rule: “The centre must ensure the continuity of the programmes it has put in place.”
A controversial agenda
On the pretext of boosting English, some have considered that the foral right-driven program was intended to impede the expansion of Model D. The educational agents have denounced that the subject is based on teaching in English and that it lacks a pedagogical basis, as well as the lack of teacher training to teach other subjects in English. We've seen managers, parents, unions and teachers denouncing the program.
