They occupy the public school of Idauze-Mendi in defense of the immersion model

  • This Thursday morning, action was taken at the village school in Zuberoa to denounce the decision of the Constitutional Council. On the other hand, the Constitutional Council published yesterday, 16 June, a note on the resolution adopted, stating that "only in the case of public education is unconstitutional".
Idauze-Mendiko eskolaren okupazioa, ekainaren 17 honetan Euskal Konfederazioa

At the beginning of the 2021-2022 course, in total three public schools in Iparralde want to offer a model of immersion in Basque: Larrainekoa, Idauze-Mendikoan, Arrosa and Ortzaize, also in the private school of Aiherra. But the Constitutional Council stated on 22 May that this is contrary to the French Constitution. In the morning they mobilised against this decision, occupying the school of Idauze-Mendi in Bilbao. Several elects have come to the place in solidarity with the deceased, including the mayor of the Navarra locality.

The representatives of these four centers sent a letter to the inspector of the Academy of Education, formally requesting the authorization of these openings, but at the moment they have not received a reply. Parents and teachers will continue to fight until they request: "It is clear to us that National Education is against these kinds of immersion, and that the decision of the Constitutional Council gives new strength to that opposing position. However, our will is as fast and as fierce as ever, so that the children of our schools have the most effective type of education, for the fathers and mothers who are very willing to transmit the Basque Country and for the agents of the world of education".

The Basque Football Confederation has announced that other schools in the area will be occupied in the coming days.

Ban on public schools

The French Constitutional Council published yesterday a note on the resolution of 22 May and, as you can read, goes against the Constitution if the model of linguistic immersion in the local language is focused on a public school. Therefore, follow this note by saying that it is a constitutional system of immersion in Basque both within SEASKA and in the private Catholic network.

Let us remember that Breton parliamentarian Paul Molac voted in favour of the bill, which opened up the possibility of channelling the model of immersion into public school as well, but finally, against the legislature, several parliamentarians went to the Constitutional Council, which he described as unconstitutional to much of the law. In response, Molace sent the French President, Emmanuel Macron, a formal request for the Constitution to be amended, along with another 140 parliamentarians.

On 1 July demonstration in Donapaleu

It's the end of the course and it's the time for tests. The right to pass the tests in Basque is not entirely directed to them either. For example, the Brebeta exam for the end of school cannot be passed in full in Basque. To denounce this situation, a demonstration will be held on 1 July in Donapaleu. Moreover, at a hearing in Kanbo on 15 June, some teachers decided to give up leading the Breviet out of necessity, following the path of disobedience. SEASKA teachers and students have denounced that this violation of rights is an "injustice" and a "contempt" for this situation.

In a statement, the Basque Football Confederation expressed its "total support" for the "bold" decision of the professors of the UPV/EHU.

On the occasion of the 2016 Brevis Reform, the Science Subject joined the exam. Although in 2017 they were corrected in Basque, in 2017 and 2018 the amendments in Basque were nullified. In the following years, the Basque students' amendments were nullified and corrected by Castilian speaking teachers, which yielded "very bad" results for the students. Last year, on the occasion of the pandemic, a continuous beta control has been carried out, so the evaluation of the sciences was accepted in Euskera.
