Teaching staff from Central Catalonia will take to the streets of Manresa on Wednesday, March 18, starting a protest march from the Congost area at 12:30 PM.

The demonstration, organized by unions including USTEC and CGT, is part of a week-long series of strikes across Catalonia. The march in the capital of Bages will cross the city to reach the Education Services headquarters on Carretera de Vic.
Key demands include a real improvement in labor conditions, a reduction in classroom ratios, and an increase in resources for public schools. Unions argue that the current educational system is suffering from years of budget cuts and excessive bureaucracy.

"The community has not been heard, and it is time to intensify pressure for real improvements in public education."
