STEILAS will mobilize to show disagreement with the Educational Convention
- On 7 April, the date of the vote on the Educational Convention in the Basque Parliament, the union STEILAS will hold stops and mobilizations in the educational centers of the cities, towns and neighborhoods of the CAV.
The STEILAS trade union has already shown its "disagreement" with the process being carried out to develop the Educational Convention and with the contents contained therein.
As explained in a press conference, after making public the critical readings of the convention by different unions and agents, the union promoted a strike day convened by the trade union majority, “after many efforts to reach agreements”. On 25 March it was the education unions that carried out the strike, but they had to disconvene it, according to STEILAS, against their will.
Although the strike did not go ahead, the union considers that the reasons why it is convened remain the same and that “it is not time to stop the fight”. On 7 April the Education Convention will be voted on in the Basque Parliament, and on that day STEILAS will hold stops and mobilizations against the educational pact. The public centers of the CAV will hold a strike from 7:30 to 11:00 hours and at 9:30 hours they will meet before the Basque Parliament and at 10:30 in the centres of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Concentrations will be carried out under the motto “Do not sell the Basque Public School”. STEILAS considers that this is not a law that “supposedly resolves” the problems generated by the “segregating system” currently in force, but rather a “firm structure” that “does not generate” these problems. This structure, according to the union, would be the Basque Public School.
These are the ideas that STEILAS emphasizes in the Educational Convention:
1. We went from the Basque Public School Law to the Basque Education Service Law.
2nd From now on, we will have the so-called “Basque Education Service”, in which the public and private system will be equipped to shield the financing of private centers. Therefore, Public Education is not going to be the axis of the system.
3. It does not want a solid framework for publication. Nor are there any measures to ensure registration in public establishments.
4. It normalizes and perpetuates the dual segregating system.
5. Many students have not received effective new measures to overcome the discrimination they suffer from their convictions, origin or socio-economic situation.
6. All corrective measures for a transparent acceptance process and to ensure free and laity are laid down in the current legislation and are not implemented.
7. They are not firmly committed to the Basque Country. Responsibility is assigned to the centre for not indicating the means to be allocated. Immersion models are not mentioned, models are not exceeded and the door opens to foreign languages, to the detriment of the Basque country.
8. It's a step backwards in our own educational system. The current state regulations are reaffirmed.
9. It does not refer to the working conditions of workers, although the document will have a direct impact on these (contracts programs, leadership of managers, job loss due to lack of commitment to public education…)
10. The Haurreskolak Consortium is not talking about integrating it into the education system and including it in the school map.
11. No provision is made for the abolition of subsidies for private children's schools.
We all know that freedom is a difficult, multi-margin concept, difficult to define in words. We often define it immensely, with being able to decide without constraints, without consequences or without taking responsibility for the actions. But since there is nothing without... [+]
