The Department of Education has announced that Lleida will gain two additional I3 groups and one first-year ESO group for the 2026-2027 school year in public centers.

According to the latest forecasts, the city will offer 64 groups for I3 (three-year-olds). This growth is focused on public schools, which will increase from 37 to 39 groups, while subsidized private schools will remain at 25. Total available places will rise to 1,319.
In secondary education, ESO will also see an expansion with one additional group in the first year, bringing the total to 68. This adjustment will increase the capacity to 1,930 places for students in the Segrià capital.
