Do not privatise our education!
- Some will say it’s not “ours.” Many others will argue that private centres provide a public service and that it is not right to use the word privatisation. It will also be those who take in hand Article 27 of the Spanish Constitution and justify the defence of their exclusionary project.
It will also be those who reject the privatisation process in general. We have also heard, in the name of efficiency, that the financing of private centres is a valuable model of economic savings. The nuances, from a selfish and individual point of view, are based on the common objective and question the legitimacy of the public school to justify the private educational model.
The key is in the first cycle of Early Childhood Education, in access to the educational system. This is the biggest fraud in the public administration, which generates social division and is an educational stage at the highest levels of privatization. But it’s not the only key…
And they're happy because the decision to bet on the private education of the PNV, which will accompany them, is firm. Two initiatives will be adopted in Parliament in the coming months to this end: The law on cooperatives and the law on education. You know it's costing us to maintain two parallel, public and private systems. Although they know that the results are not as expected and are aware of the seriousness of the situations of segregation and exclusion. However, they have decided that the increased and segregated system are tolls that have to be paid to defend their educational model. And there, the concerted network is comfortable, with policies of clientelism.
The key is in the first cycle of Early Childhood Education, in access to the educational system. This is the biggest fraud in the public administration, which generates social division and is an educational stage at the highest levels of privatization. But it is not the only key… The Department of Education, led by Cristina Uriarte, continues to give covenants to the centers of the private network in all stages and authorizing the classrooms despite the availability of places in the public network. In other words, it continues to privatise. In addition, if you have to break the law or if you have to turn a blind eye to violations of the law, you will.
The most worrying aspect of all this is the silence, the complicity, of a large section of the left. With all of them, the public school has a miserable future. The only hope lies in the popular movement, in the hands of families, students and education workers. Let us therefore start from town to town and from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, in favour of the Basque public school and against privatisation! Because we are proud of the public!

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.

These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
