Data from the Bofill Foundation indicates that school segregation in Tarragona mirrors existing social inequalities. The decision to cut I3 lines at Escola de Pràctiques and Escola El Miracle has highlighted the difficulty of implementing balance-oriented policies.

Critics argue that the lack of transparent dialogue with families and teachers has led to a perception of arbitrary decision-making. There is a growing concern that administrative criteria are being prioritized over the actual educational needs of children.

To address this, experts suggest strengthening high-complexity schools with more staff, lower student-to-teacher ratios, and excellence-driven programs. The goal is to transform stigmatized centers into pedagogical leaders to ensure genuine social cohesion.
