Report on the transformation of Basque and Basque education
We look again with envy at regulated education from the watchtower of the Basque Country. On the occasion of the new law, due to the strong debates (with a call for strike), some keys have been put on the table in what is still draft.
The hardest debate is in the conceptualization of advertising. Well, in Euskaltegis there are Euskaltegis of public ownership (in a few municipalities, with different legal nature and not constituting a network), Euskaltegis of public initiative that offer public service (non-profit), church holders and, unlike regulated education, companies that also receive public money.
The “multilingual model” is also a source of conflict in education. It should be a “complete model D”, since immersion has been the only one that has served the process of Euskaldunization. But it is true that it has much to improve in foreign languages. Proper treatment of languages can considerably improve the learning of the third and fourth languages. To delve into methodologies and materials, the draft contemplates the creation of the “Euskera Learning Institute”. We would be happy to share Euskaltegi tools.
"Accepting that there is no healthy envy, I would ask the experts, the unions, the politicians… to also stand up for Euskaldunization and Adult Literacy!"
Each educational centre shall draw up a linguistic project taking into account the socio-linguistic context, led and evaluated by experts. Euskaltegis had to do the resume five or six years ago, but without experts either before or after, and there are the resumes, lost in deep drawers.
The document also mentions the inspection system, but as a tool to analyze and improve the reality of the centers. In the Basque Country, the work of the inspectors has been limited to checking that the students have paid the tuition.
It also refers to affecting ecosystems. We've long been saying that ecosystems must be our goal, not individuals. For example, sports trainers in schools, parents, teachers, other workers, newly arrived students without Euskera to school… all of them and the school’s own plan of use are our areas of work! Same for companies, administrations or any ecosystem. But nowhere do they take us into account.
It also talks about teacher training as a workers' right. Eyes reading this cake. I still owe HABE a course held 8 years ago in my free days!
Therefore, and recognizing that there is no healthy envy, I would ask the experts, the unions, the politicians… to also stand up for Euskaldunization and Adult Literacy! The education draft itself can be useful to start with.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
