Catalonia education strikes and protests

Overview

Educational unions, student organizations, and the Assemblea Educativa de Catalunya (AEC) have organized a series of mobilizations to protest working conditions and the perceived deterioration of public education.

Planned actions include a demonstration involving families and students on November 21, a student strike called by the Sindicat d'Estudiants dels Països Catalans (SEPC) on November 11, and a general strike for teachers and school staff on November 26.

Key grievances cited by organizers include underfunding, excessive bureaucracy, increasing class sizes, and the need for better salary conditions and resources for inclusive education. The SEPC also highlighted the impact of high housing costs and poor public transport on student access. Additionally, the AEC has decided to suspend all school trips, excursions, and camps for the remainder of the school year.
