Thousands abandon classrooms to join second education strike in 12 months


To avoid the education reform in Spain, teachers and students did a strike last Thursday. According to the Platform for Public Schooling, 72 percent of staff public followed the strike, while the Minestry of Education said that only 20 percent of staff public followed it.

That strike is the culmination of two weeks of protests. The cities where the demonstrations pointed where in Madrid, Valencia, Galicia, Murcia and Barcelona. Obviously, there was some altercations with police during the day.

This strike goes against “Wert's law”. Spanish people thinks that this law will be bad for the society, but Wert, and the government, thinks that the law will decrease high-school dropout rates.

OPINION:

My think is that the strike has help us so much, because the law has avoided for a time and I hope that government raise th law and don't approve it. Is obvious that Spain needs a new kind of education, but I think that the Wert's law isn't the way we have to choose. We should take like a model of education the system of other European countries like Findland or Germany, where the high-school dropout rates are lowest that here.
