Registration for the 2021-22 year of children in Navarre has just been formalized. As soon as we write these lines we do not have data to know what has happened in the public network. In the ikastolas of NIE there has been a significant decrease, more in the large ikastolas of the Region of Pamplona.

It's not a new account.

For decades, the results of school enrollment have served to comfort the Navarros vascopphiles. UPN and PSN wanted to limit us in all areas, but at least more than a year ago the number of Navarran parents who wanted to Euskaldunizar their children. We once also turned it into a chorus, a recurring rhinestone, when we wanted to ruin the enemy or leave it without arguments.
These times have run out.

Barcina invented the PDI about 10 years ago. It slowly slowed down the rise of model D, normally to stagnation. Since then, year after year, a tenth of us have escaped in the enrolment rates. We once stood at about 33%. Last year was 29%. This year the
extension of English teaching does not clarify, however, this gradual decline. The government of Baroja (2015-2019) conducted a clear policy to strengthen model D and weaken the PDI. Surely I could have done more. What he did was not enough to reverse the general trend. The arrival of Chivite has obviously not improved.

As for enrolment, the influence of the demographic factor is becoming increasingly evident. Births, in general, are becoming less frequent and the burden of the immigrant population on birth rates is increasing. It would not be such a big problem for the language if the number of immigrants approaching model D were greater. However, in the Foral Community, this group, the most productive in boys and girls, if it has the possibility, preferably chooses models without basque for their sons and daughters. On the contrary, the presence of the social sector that usually chooses to teach Euskera and teach in Euskera seems increasingly weak in the reproductive pyramid.

I don't know if we've ever won the battle. Demography in Navarre is being lost notoriously, even with suspicion, outside Navarre. It is, however, preferable not to dispel the matter so that we are not considered to be overdue. Youth will need other social policies to increase our birth rates. Without denying this, we can also reflect on what. In this area, and in others, everyone has the right to do whatever they want or can, there was no shortage of it. In spite of this, as a Basque and Vascophilous, I feel a little suicidal the large plaza that is given in our world to the attitudes that descend motherhood and paternity.

Despite setting an example.
