His Excellency. Mr. Minister of Education of the Basque Government, D. Jokin Bildarratz:
Because of COVID-19, we're living in a special situation in the education community. In our opinion, the management of the Department of Education has been deficient and improvised since the beginning of the pandemic and has not taken into account the proposals of the educational agents. And now, when we've come back to class, it's also being deficient.
Unfortunately, however, this is not a new situation: we have long been very concerned about the management of public schools by the Department of Education in recent years. That's why we started to join forces at the CAV level in defense of public education. There are specific problems in some towns and cities, but we know what lies behind them: That Public Education, the only education service based on equity and equal opportunities, has not been prioritized, nor cared for, and consequently, there has been a significant setback, supported by the policies carried out. In the current situation, moreover, we fear that the pandemic will cover the serious basic problems that Public Education has in this dual (public-private) and unjust educational system.
"We are afraid that the pandemic will cover the serious basic problems Public Education has in this dual (public-private) and unfair educational system."
As a new Education Advisor, in addition to the gaps that the pandemic has created, we ask you to address those problems that the public school already had in our community.
The list is long, but we are very concerned about the Administration’s commitment and lack of priorities with the public education service, which directly depends on the management of the Department of Education, which puts concerted private and public education at the same level, matching non-equal networks as products that are in a free market, which results in huge school segregation, a growth of concerted centres that has been facilitated to the detriment of the public school,
From the associations of parents, from the platforms of different peoples, we will continue to work for a quality public education that leads us to a cohesive and just society, and in that way we ask you to take into account the demands of families, workers and students. As we are proud of the Basque Public School, we will not accept a further step. It is time to change the trend of years, Mr Jokin Bildarratz: we hope that you will join us in your office and that together we can all build the public education that we deserve, because it is auzolan, right?
Attentively,
Promoters of the Proud Public Platform

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

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... [+]
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... [+]
