The initiative, which involves the presence of plainclothes officers without standard-issue weapons in some centers, has been described as irresponsible by various sectors. The main criticism focuses on the lack of prior consultation with the educational community and the fact that the centers chosen for this pilot program, according to some voices, predominantly have students of Arab origin, which could lead to stigmatization.

This measure comes at a time of tension with teachers, who recently staged a significant strike and have been demanding investments in education for decades. While the Mossos have seen their salaries increase, teachers have received minimal salary raises, generating a sense of indignation.

Despite acknowledging the existence of coexistence problems in some high schools and the need to provide teachers with more tools, the educational community believes that police presence is not the solution. They argue that this measure represents a failure of educational policies and a dangerous path, as it criminalizes centers and their students, and can destroy the educational purpose.

Instead of strengthening the role of teachers, expanding teams of psychologists, social educators, integrators, or nurses, the decision has been to introduce police, an option that, according to critics, is more economical but less effective. Furthermore, it is highlighted that the publication, even if indirect, of the names of the centers involved in the pilot program has caused irreparable damage, as it has publicly singled them out.

Experience in other countries where a similar measure has been implemented has proven to be a failure, even worsening coexistence. The educational community insists that solutions involve social measures, such as more staff, fewer students per classroom, and awareness workshops, instead of police presence.
