At a time when student segregation is a reality in many places, seven Catalan middle-class families have joined together and more than 95% of students have enrolled their children in the Muntanya del Drac migrant school of origin. These families say that they don't want anyone to take them for heroes, that they see it logical for schools to pick up the diversity that is on the street and that they don't want to educate their children in bubbles that only have white Catalans. However, they are aware that few people behave in this way. El País has published a report on this experience.

“It’s dangerous to live in the bubble itself”

Cases can also be found in the Basque Country, if they are investigated here and there, but they are also a minority. The public school Ramón Bajo, located in the Casco Viejo de Vitoria-Gasteiz, was a ghetto school where his son Ioseba Stackanez and Maika Diaz de Alda were registered. “It is normal that there are fears, but then they are not real fears and they are overcome as prejudices. We took off the borders we had and we learned a great deal. Beyond the individual option, getting support is also important, getting the commitment and desire to work from some fathers and mothers, because we have to spend hours,” we were told in ARGIA.

The reason for the decision was clearly explained: “If education does not embrace social cohesion, it is a party. It's dangerous to live in the bubble itself, and diversity is very good for everyone. There are parents who say they don’t want their children in a classroom full of strangers or poor people, who are afraid, but if we want a better society we have to fight, we can’t look away.”
