Spain begins 2026/2027 academic year amid strikes and policy changes

The 2026/2027 academic year has commenced across various Spanish regions, marked by diverse local developments and labor tensions. In Alcoi, over 15,000 students are enrolled, including a record of 3,000 at the UPV campus. In the Valencian Community, the start of classes is accompanied by a decrease in public school enrollment but an increase in teaching staff and a newly ratified salary increase for non-university teachers.

Labor disputes remain a significant factor. In Sabadell, educational strikes continue as unions demand better resources and lower student-teacher ratios. In the Valencian Community, political friction persists regarding PISA results and teacher compensation. Meanwhile, in the Balearic Islands, Formentera has successfully covered all teaching positions, supported by housing initiatives for relocated staff.

Other regional updates include increased student numbers in Castilla y León and Zamora, new tuition exemptions for victims of gender-based violence at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, and expanded school transport services in the Jacetania region to combat rural depopulation.
