Educational communities protest over school access and infrastructure
Various educational communities in Argentina and Spain are engaging in protests regarding school access and infrastructure.
In Argentina, families of Escuela N.º 21 have issued an open letter to Governor Gustavo Melella, protesting ongoing teacher strikes that have severely limited classroom attendance. Parents report that students have only attended one or two days of school per week, causing significant disruption to family work schedules and child care.
In Salta, Argentina, the community of Colegio Nacional de Salta is protesting a $300 million municipal project intended to expand the Pasaje Zorrilla parking lot. Local councilwoman Agustina Álvarez has joined the protest, stating that the works infringe upon the institution's historical and cultural heritage. The construction is currently paralyzed.
In Spain, families from the CEIP Reyes Católicos in Dueñas have organized a mobilization for September 9. They are demanding the construction of a new local school to end the need for students to commute daily to Venta de Baños. The group claims to have collected over 3,800 signatures in support of the project.
