That is why it is not understood that governments are so cautious when they submit budgets that do not take this premise into account. It is even less understood that in the CAPV non-university teaching staff are mobilised for seven months – this week they have had their second general strike – and that political decision-makers are not able to articulate a negotiated response. However, they have no problem in meeting with the employers in order to meet their wishes. The employer does not need to mobilise in order to bring down taxes. In Navarre, the government may be more progressive, but cuts in education have also been announced.
Workers demand an increase in investment in the public network, in particular by 3.5% of GDP. In this way, it would be the European average of 6%, the minimum recommended by UNESCO, according to UNESCO. In addition, it is estimated that the teaching staff needs an additional 1,800 people and that the temporality rate is reduced from 38 per cent to 6 per cent, for which 6,000 jobs should be stabilized. They also want to recover the purchasing power lost by teachers, as the Children and Primary have accumulated 32,500 euros of loss and the Secondary 41,000 euros.
If investment in education is genuinely considered profitable, it should be a priority in setting budget allocations. Refusing to negotiate in the CVA because mobilizations are continuing and the strike is shaking the fire, and above all continuing to generate more expenses and losses of training for the youth that is the future of this country.
