In just one week the Ministry of Education has put on the table a package of measures that can change up and down the educational model. More students and fewer teachers in classrooms, a rise in tuition fees equivalent to the increase that should have taken a decade to control the budgets of the higher centers that can lead to sanctions if they spend more than you have. Autonomy must execute these changes and the educational community wants to make a move at the same time to try to curb the impact.
Last September, when the Madrid launched some adjustments similar to those provided now by the ministry (an increase of teaching hours in high school) teachers took to the street. Convened nine days of strikes in the first quarter and were organized in the green tide, a protest and had not seen the region over the past 20 years.
In the coming days, the conference of rectors, unions and students meet with the ministry to analyze the fine print of the changes published in Saturday's Gazette. The Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE), which has asked the community to implement the minimum possible increase in public prices, silent to know the explanation of a decree law amending in part the Universities Act ( LOU). The change requires them to balance and affect the principle of university autonomy.
Student groups have called a "day of action" on 10 May. "We will strike and demonstrations in colleges in universities, which hope to join teachers," says Tohil Delgado, of the Student Union. The Federation of Student Associations of Spain (Faest) supports this call. "We need a quick answer because we fear that thousands of college students may not continue next year by the rise in public prices," said its president, Fidel Gonzalez.
The increase, which should be set within a range of regions, an increase of 540 maximum per year in the first enrollment, according to official estimates, and penalizes those repeaters payment of up to 100% of the cost of the course while grants education have been reduced by 166.4 million, nearly 12%. Communities and students claim that the take rate hike accompanied by an expansion of aid.
"We want to get into fall with a clear and unified," says Gonzalez. From the Student Council, which meets tomorrow with the Ministry of Education, also plan to organize a platform for public education similar to that launched in Madrid. "Guiding students and teachers must protest together," says Maria Jose Romero, spokesman for the council. The new decree does not include the obligation to inform them of the changes. Were not consulted as provided for in the Statute of Students, and also why complaints arise.
Changes
-The reform provides for an increase in public university price of 540 euros in the first registration.
Communities should set-ups after the fork marked by the Government from 15% to 25% on first registration.
-The increase in enrollment will increase substantially for repeaters, if calls arrive exhausted to pay up to 100%.
-In schools, colleges and institutes will increase the maximum class size: primary 27 to 30, from 30 to 36 secondary and 37 to 42 in high school.
He extends the weekly class of teachers both in compulsory and in higher education.
Teacher unions warn also that the cut (Education expects to save 3,000 million, but has not detailed accounts) "goes against the quality of the education system." CCOO wants to take cuts to the Ombudsman (who asked approached by the royal decree law approved Friday by the Council of Ministers before the Constitutional Court) after calculating that it will destroy over 100,000 jobs teachers.
"Will mark more protest actions and will support the students and organizations raised against the decline of educational quality. Our example is the green tide of Madrid, "said Jesus Sanchez, president of CEAPA, the main confederation of associations of parents of public education, which also supports the creation of a platform.
"We are concerned how they will manage these cuts," says Jose Antonio Martinez, president of the federation of public school principals Fedadi. Martinez rejects the "one size fits all model" and notes that "do not apply if autonomy means taking into account the specificity of each school, as did Madrid, there will be even more problems."
