Report on the transformation of Basque and Basque education
We look again with envy at regulated education from the watchtower of the Basque Country. On the occasion of the new law, due to the strong debates (with a call for strike), some keys have been put on the table in what is still draft.
The hardest debate is in the conceptualization of advertising. Well, in Euskaltegis there are Euskaltegis of public ownership (in a few municipalities, with different legal nature and not constituting a network), Euskaltegis of public initiative that offer public service (non-profit), church holders and, unlike regulated education, companies that also receive public money.
The “multilingual model” is also a source of conflict in education. It should be a “complete model D”, since immersion has been the only one that has served the process of Euskaldunization. But it is true that it has much to improve in foreign languages. Proper treatment of languages can considerably improve the learning of the third and fourth languages. To delve into methodologies and materials, the draft contemplates the creation of the “Euskera Learning Institute”. We would be happy to share Euskaltegi tools.
"Accepting that there is no healthy envy, I would ask the experts, the unions, the politicians… to also stand up for Euskaldunization and Adult Literacy!"
Each educational centre shall draw up a linguistic project taking into account the socio-linguistic context, led and evaluated by experts. Euskaltegis had to do the resume five or six years ago, but without experts either before or after, and there are the resumes, lost in deep drawers.
The document also mentions the inspection system, but as a tool to analyze and improve the reality of the centers. In the Basque Country, the work of the inspectors has been limited to checking that the students have paid the tuition.
It also refers to affecting ecosystems. We've long been saying that ecosystems must be our goal, not individuals. For example, sports trainers in schools, parents, teachers, other workers, newly arrived students without Euskera to school… all of them and the school’s own plan of use are our areas of work! Same for companies, administrations or any ecosystem. But nowhere do they take us into account.
It also talks about teacher training as a workers' right. Eyes reading this cake. I still owe HABE a course held 8 years ago in my free days!
Therefore, and recognizing that there is no healthy envy, I would ask the experts, the unions, the politicians… to also stand up for Euskaldunization and Adult Literacy! The education draft itself can be useful to start with.

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... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.

Nafarroa Arenan Mitoaroa ikusten izandako lagun batek “telurikotzat” jo zuen entzun-ikusi-sentitutakoa. Niri ere hala iruditu zitzaidan telebista medio etxetik hauteman nuena.

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.
Hala ere, lehentasunak ez dira kontu neutroak, eta historiak eta interes kontrajarriek aldatu izan... [+]
Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]

The other day, as I was walking through the famous television series The Wire, there came a scene that reminded me of despair. There, the management of the newspaper The Baltimore Sun brought together the workers and alerted them to the changes that are coming, i.e. redundancies... [+]
The consumerist culture we live in sends every user to an unreasonable enjoyment. As Slavoj Zize says, Enjoy your fetish, it has become the rude mandate of hypermodernity. Current enjoyment is carried out through existing technological devices to occupy the place of fetish. But... [+]
