At the event held in la Llotja, Carlos Camí, president of the Confederation of Autonomous Centers of Catalonia, stated that the historical underfunding has worsened following the anti-segregation pact. Although schools are enrolling more vulnerable students, the resources promised by the Government have not materialized.
“"We are totally in favor, but we do not have the resources that were agreed upon when the deal was signed."
Meritxell Ruiz, general secretary of the Fundació Cristiana Catalunya, noted that 33% of the 9,500 students in Lleida's semi-private sector have special needs. She emphasized that these centers provide the same service as public schools but with significantly fewer resources.
Simultaneously, the Department of Education is proposing to lower classroom ratios for the next academic year, aiming for a maximum of 20 students in I3 and 30 in ESO. However, unions maintain their strike plans for March due to the absence of new salary proposals.
