Andalusia faces institutional delays and declining educational scores

In Andalusia, institutional delays have left the provincial delegation for areas under the Second Vice Presidency of the Government vacant in Almería. While other provinces have established representatives for sectors such as Tourism and Justice, Almería remains without leadership. This delay is attributed to internal political friction between Manuel Gavira and Rodrigo Alonso.

Simultaneously, recent PISA 2025 results indicate a decline in educational performance across Andalusia. Scores have dropped in Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, and Science compared to 2022 levels. Despite record investment in education and increased staffing, experts suggest the issues are structural, calling for a strategic regional pact to improve educational outcomes.
