The Central Catalonia Teachers' Assembly gathered this Wednesday at Sant Domènec Square in Manresa to demand greater social and institutional involvement to guarantee the quality of the public education system.

Wearing the iconic yellow t-shirts with the slogan Defensem l'educació pública, dozens of teachers brought their demands to the heart of the Bages capital. This event is part of a series of mobilizations held over recent weeks, which are expected to continue in the coming days.

"Public education is drifting, and the involvement of families is vital because the future of education is a common challenge."

Key demands include increased funding for inclusive education, lower classroom ratios, and a reduction in administrative tasks. Teachers are also calling for salary improvements to recover purchasing power lost in recent years.
