Free when you can get expensive
Just over five years ago we started our journey in the children's school of the village by the hand of the youngest in the house. There he started to change our day to day, waking up early, preparing and walking to school. Every beginning of the course we have experienced a fluctuating and exciting adaptation phase, which we have carried out with the professionalism and affection of its educators and workers. After the first few weeks, however, the subsequent months have been a mere pleasure each year.
The Children's School has been an ideal space to meet the first challenges of the lives of our sons and daughters, an appropriate and pleasant place to work their development and knowledge. We have also had the opportunity to help educators, families and peers in this development. With children in the center, children have had at their disposal a wide variety of games, workshops and activities adapted to their needs. It has also been important for us the children's school commitment to the nature of the youngest in the house. This proximity to the environment has allowed children to research, learn and enjoy outside of a closed space.
Direct communication between educators and families is highlighted. Families share the information we need in a simple, transparent and enjoyable way.
That is why we welcome the news that the Government of Navarre announced a few weeks ago that it would guarantee the gratuity of the 0-3 cycle, because we consider it essential to stabilize the quality and free public services in the society in which we live.
Two-year-old boys and girls would become a small part of a Elementary School and lose their own space. All this would affect and delay their development
On the contrary, in recent days the Government of Navarre has launched in the coming months the creation of 2 year classrooms in public schools. The truth is that we do not understand how a system can be put in place from one year to another that guarantees all the school spaces, the educators, the methodology and the appropriate conditions.
As if it were not enough, 2-year-old children would become a minuscule part of a Primary Education center, losing their own space and moving them to another space and situation that they have left large. All of this would affect and delay their development, as they would not guarantee the attention and needs of each moment.
And why all that? Platform 0-3 points out that this decision has been taken by the Government of Navarra for a main reason. Of course, because it's cheaper. As we know, the birth rate has dropped a lot in recent years and in the first cycles of Primary there are more teachers than squares. Thus, they would not have to publish the educators from 0 to 3 years and fill with the surpluses of Primary our classrooms from 2 years.
So that is the situation we have at present. From now on it is up to us to defend public children's schools and to continue the work done to date, rejecting the creation of classrooms for 2 years and keeping it firm in the face of erroneous decisions by the Government of Navarra. Otherwise, we expect the entry price to be high.

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
