What is the Basque school of the 21st century? Public
Hunters, Marianistas, Niño Jesús, CEU San Pablo - Virgen Niña, Carmelitas, Presentation of Mary, Vera Cruz, NClic, San Viator, Escorapias, Scholapios, Bárdarias, Nazareth, Immaculate Conception, Hogar San José, Egibide. More Olabide by Eusko Ikastolen Batza. Finally, the Armenian side. These are private schools in Vitoria, all of which are concerted (i.e. financed by public money).
Remember what the CAPV Education Act says: "Article 26.– Basque Public Education Service. 3.– The provision of the public education service shall be carried out through the public and private concerted centres." And also: "Article 23.– Concerted private centres. 2.– Concerted centres providing compulsory education within the Public Service for Basque Education shall be fully funded with regard to these teachings".
I have listed the private centers of Vitoria-Gasteiz, where I live and where I am a professor. It is the second city of Euskal Herria in population, and the Basque Country has taken a giant step in knowledge, although it is in a non-Euskaldun environment. Vitoria-Gasteiz has a giant private educational network: According to the latest data from Eustat, although in Primary the public network is the majority, at 12 years of age 55% of the young people of Vitoria-Gasteiz go to the private network to perform the ESO, where only one in five will study in model D. Among those who come to the public, four out of five will do so in model D of the ESO.
Therefore, where can the discourse and practice be maintained in favour of concerted centres? On the left, how? From Euskaldunization, how? How can a "people's initiative" centre (or two) be justified? to support the financing of a dozen and a half schools, including several Euskarafobos and fully clasists, also "to finance them in full"?
It is undeniable and to thank the contribution of the ikastolas in the dark time of the twentieth century. It is to be welcomed, because at the time when public education gave no choice, we were given the opportunity to learn Basque. Thank you, therefore, to all those ikastolas, both those which were published at the end of the century and those which remained concerted.
In the twenty-first century, however, the financing of the 100 per cent concerted network (plus quotas) and the uncritical promotion in discourse and in practice weaken social cohesion, secularism and the revitalization of the Basque country.

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]
I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
