A Basque public school
Ibilaldia 1986. Group Song Words: “One and the same is enough for the Basque people, a public opportunity.”
We have on the table a reflection driven by the Basque Government. It seems that it intends to be a strategic convention, and I fear that in the CAPV (Autonomous Community of the Basque Country) the nucleus will be tackled or that each one will shield its chiringuito.
The education of thousands of children in the CAV is the bottom line. Of all. The starting point is not very good. We have internalised – on behalf of Christianity, on behalf of cooperativism, on behalf of pedagogy, on behalf of the right to choose parents – that some children have X education, others Y and others Z.
The path of the Basque Country, also in education, has not been easy until now. And yes, he's had enemies at home and in the states. But if in the CAV, today and here, we do not set in motion a system of linguistic immersion for all children, today we will be sowing seeds for the problems of the future of the Basque Country.
Models A, B and D have been justified in the right of parents to decide, but today public schools in model A keep newly arrived parents “oriented” towards them.
It is not easy, however, to reach “one and the same”. The first problem is that we are hardly going to convince the communities of school concerts to leave their privileged status in favour of a better public school for all children. They don't want to. Double funding – public money and family quotas – gives them the advantages of each organising themselves according to what their chiringuito creates and not having in the patio the children of the people with the least resources in society – it is a general rule for some concerted schools of a few peoples.
Half of the students are concerted, and if you are looking for allies, as I do not believe in Christian charity, the closest are those of the Federation of Ikastolas. I ask, we can unite if the Basque public school “is”:
– Unique immersion model?
– To have at least – and, if possible more – the autonomy that they have had in the Federation of Ikastolas, and that they also bring their educational heritage to the public?
– What they have had so far through double funding through public funding?
– And in the territories that need it (Seaska, Navarra, Treviño...). Are we going to continue to work with the ikastolas association?
I do not want to destroy anything, I seek allies in the Federation of Ikastolas to make the children “Scandinavian, Korean and Black Swahilis” Euskaldunes tomorrow. We will promote a public Euskaldun school. And that the adult who doesn't want it, pays the private school that they want.

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]

The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
