The Basque Government will allocate EUR 67 million to the equal pay of teaching staff with the public school
- The Basque Government will equate the salary of the teachers of the centres agreed with that of the Basque public school. The equalisation will be progressive, the process will end in 2027 and to start the process EUR 67 million will be allocated from this year’s public budgets. The initiative is part of the new Education Act promoted by the Basque Government.
The Basque Government will amend the Budget Act in order to be able to allocate these EUR 67 million to the salaries of the teachers concerted in the Basque Country. These EUR 67 million will be earmarked for the salaries of 2023-2024 (the law is retroactive and will therefore extend to 2023), but the matching process will end in 2027.
Among other things, the agreement relates to the recent Education Act approved by the Basque Government, which aims to “guarantee free and quality learning in public funded concerted centres”. In other words, the fees charged to families in ikastolas and in Christian schools should be discontinued “because concerted centres will not have to reflect the consequences of wage increases through their quotas”, according to the Education Counsellor, Begoña Pedrosa. Pedrosa said that, although it is prohibited by law, there are still centers that charge the fee, and they are "working on it".
It is based on the formula of the Basque Public Education Service, the controversial formula approved by the new Basque education law. Public school officials do not see the formula with good eyes, and this is what Lurdes Imaz, the coordinator of the association of parents EHIGE, recently exposed the law, summarized: “The public network must compete with a concerted network better funded by public money, which will be worse than before with this law.”
Begoña Pedrosa pointed out that the Basque Public Education Service will also impose additional obligations on all educational establishments, such as transparency and access for staff.
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.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]

We were yelling, “New Year, what brings us?”, around the first night of the year, at the preemies who crossed the road. Waiting for the foals, drunks, us. And as there was no runner or selfie yet, we would find most of the Russians who had gone out to put down the excesses... [+]

The victims created by the IAP are not only functionalized teachers thanks to the stabilization process brought about by the IAP Law, but much more. Some have been given some media visibility as a result of Steilas's appeal, but most of them are invisible. All the victims of the... [+]
