The new Education Act of the CAPV proposes a unique model, a multilingual model, set in motion by Socialist Isabel Celaa, Minister of Education. As the current (and current) legislation gave him no other alternative, in 2011 he called him Hiruhelitatea (sic) and added that it was “experimentation”.
The Celaá project was a unique model in which English and Spanish were “teaching languages”; in the current law there is also an educational model “in which at least the two official languages and a foreign language will be considered as learning languages”. In any case, there are no differences: at least one subject will be taught in English and another in Spanish. At least one.
Although on the eve of the elections the opposite is said, the 3L project is an eternal socialist desire.
In addition, the educational models will disappear. Why? Because the Socialists want it. How to remove models? Repealing the additional 10th provision of Law 1/1993, regulating the linguistic distribution of educational models. The old law states that “(…) linguistic models will be implemented throughout the education system, both public and private, and will be as follows:
- Model A; the subjects will be taught preferably in Spanish, giving some activities or subjects in Basque.
- Model B; the subjects will be taught in Basque and Spanish.
- Model D; the subjects will be taught in Basque”.
This division disappears because the new Education Act states that “Single derogatory provision. 1. Any legal and regulatory provisions contrary to this Law are repealed.”
For no one to have any doubts, the derogatory provision of the new Education Act adds that “2. Law 1/1993 of 19 February of the Basque Public School is expressly repealed.” Goodbye to legal support of educational models. Goodbye, model D exclusively in Basque.
When the law is passed, parents who wish to receive education in Basque exclusively for their children… must go to Navarra
Thus, when the law is passed, fathers and mothers who wish to receive exclusively Basque education for their sons and daughters … must go to Navarra. Because your socialist party is never going to pass the law that you have reached for the CAV.
Why not, and in CAPV yes? Simple. Because model D is about 29 percent of enrollment. This law would therefore mean a greater contribution by the Basque Country to 71% of the students of Navarra. In the case of the CAV, the new law will educate with less Euskera the 15,802 students, public and private, who have started primary education this year (80.76% of the total enrolment), as this is the enrollment of model D at this level. Of the students aged 6 years, four out of five are in model D.
More Basque, only 647 students will have 1. 3.42% of FP enrollment. That is, 15,239 students less Euskera, 647 more Euskera… Take the bills out.
The Socialists will never adopt laws like this in Navarre, where the models without Euskera are the most chosen by the parents, both in the public and private networks. In the CAPV, model D is dominated by both public and private networks. In the public network, in the hegemonic network, it is the only one that rises year after year:
- 1. Primary education 97.47%.
- 1. 93.72%.
- 1st high school 89.35%.
Remember this year 1. Those in FP within six years 1. They will be in ESO, that is, the percentage of students in Model D will continue to grow.
In the private network, 62.80%, 56.07% and 51.25% of students are in model D, respectively. Also in this network, the only growing network that grows year after year.
Will we analyse why the Socialist Party does not want for Navarre what it has already achieved for the CAV? It reviews the message that the Socialist authorities repeat year after year, year after year.
I am surprised that the Basque parties are driving the new Education Act. That too should be looked at.
The Basque parliamentarians therefore have the following proposals:
- Analyze the registration data and its annual evolution.
- It analyses diagnostic evaluations and their evolution.
- Ask the members of Valencia in favor of Catalan about the consequences of their 3L model: main Catalan, English and Spanish vehicular language.
- Read the Education Act.
- Reflect on the consequences of this law for the Basque.
- Vote in conscience.
