The head of Linguistic Policy asserted that the Catalan government "remains firmly committed" to an educational model where Catalan is the "center of gravity." This statement was made without taking questions from the media.
Vila reiterated the executive's commitment to continue working on improving the educational model, seeking "maximum social consensus." The goal is to ensure that all students acquire "full competence" in both Catalan and Spanish upon completing their compulsory education.
“"The Catalan government remains firmly committed to a model that has Catalan as its center of gravity."
The Department of Linguistic Policy's reaction comes after the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) decided not to process the lawsuit filed by families from the Turó del Drac School in Canet de Mar. This lawsuit opposed a previous ruling that obliged the school to teach an additional subject in Spanish, following a complaint from another family.
The ECHR's decision, which upholds the imposition of 25% Spanish in classrooms, does not, according to the minister, represent any regulatory change or impact for the educational system of Catalonia.
