Basque Government rejects ILP against school segregation
- The proposal for a law brought to the Basque Parliament by the citizens has obtained 17,000 signatures (10,000 are the minimum necessary to be able to present it) and has the support of the majority of parties: the concrete initiative eight measures to overcome school segregation, but the Basque Government has shown itself against its processing, so it will certainly not go ahead. The Basque Government has justified the proposal to address the issue in the new Education Act.
The Basque Government says that it shares the spirit and objectives of the proposal, which sees a need to promote social cohesion and equity in education, but the agreement signed last year with the trade union majority (ELA did not accept the agreement) states that it wishes to address the issue in the draft Education Act that is being drafted and which it intends to present shortly in Parliament.
The Administration has added that they want to implement the “Index of Educational Needs”, i.e. an index that identifies the needs of each centre for the distribution of aid on the basis of it.
The popular legislative initiative, launched last May by the Zubiak Eraikiz platform, has been supported by EH Bildu, Elkarrekin-Podemos and PSE-EE.
Single registration office for all
The platform has proposed a measure that many actors demand: a single office or registration window, including representatives of trade unions and families, to facilitate centralization of registration and ensure fair criteria. Other measures have also been put on the table, such as the free provision of all educational establishments, “against direct or indirect fees”, and positive discrimination, to “provide more resources to the most disadvantaged educational establishments”.
In relation to the theme, we have published in Argia the Daily Report of the centers of Ghetto.
