On 15 January, the Basque Government Education Minister, Begoña Pedrosa, signed a provision authorizing the abolition of the Erain School Primary Education stage and the expansion of four units in Secondary Education.

Former Basque Education Advisor Jokin Bildarratz said they could understand that families could be in favor of this educational model, but they could not fund it.
