The educational sector in Andalusia has faced significant structural difficulties, particularly in Seville. Reports indicate high rates of early school leaving, grade repetition, and low reading comprehension levels. Furthermore, public universities in the region have experienced financial instability, with certified deficits exceeding 44 million euros by the end of 2025. In response, regional officials proposed funding models based on success indicators, such as international rankings and graduate employability. Following these challenges, the Government of Andalusia ~~presented~~ approved a draft budget for 2027 totaling 54,716.7 million euros, a 6% increase from the previous year. This record budget, established through an agreement between the PP and Vox parties, aims for a zero-deficit balance. The plan allocates 11,889.7 million euros to education and 176 million euros to educational infrastructure. ~~The plan also includes provisions~~ While these funds cover repairs and new constructions, the draft lacks a specific line item for the construction of a second institute in Manilva, leading local officials to state they will seek funding for that project through European funds. Additional provisions in the budget include hiring 4,309 ~~additional teachers~~ teachers, adding 2,500 health workers, and funding various regional infrastructure projects. In Málaga, the province is slated to receive 780.9 million euros, covering a new hospital, research infrastructure, and sustainable urban mobility. The budget also addresses immigration by maintaining existing resources and promoting return plans for unaccompanied minors.
