The Education department began a series of meetings in Tortosa this Monday with school directors from Terres de l'Ebre to launch the Acord de país per l'educació.

The Secretary for Educational Improvement, Ignasi Giménez Renom, and the Director General for Teaching Staff, Josep Maria García Balda, met with local boards to defend the agreement signed with CCOO and UGT unions as a vital step for the country's schools.

"We need your complicity and trust so that this can become a reality."
