The measure passed in an extraordinary social rights commission with the support of several municipal groups, who criticized the initiative as inappropriate for the school environment. Although the program was planned for fifteen centers across the region, the council noted that it has not been implemented in any school or institute in the Catalan capital.
During the debate, the groups behind the proposal argued that conflicts in the educational sphere should be addressed from a pedagogical and community perspective, rejecting the stable presence of police forces inside classrooms. They also took the opportunity to demand more resources, salary improvements, and an increase in teaching staff to meet the current needs of the sector.
“"Education does not ask for police in schools; it is unjustified and far removed from the real needs of the educational community."
For its part, the municipal government defended the coexistence and security model already established in the city, which acts in complex situations or cases of absenteeism in vulnerable environments. Despite agreeing on some points, they voted against the motion, considering it an instrument of political confrontation against the regional executive, arguing that the priority should be investment in the educational system.
