The start of the 2026-2027 school year in Spain continues to be defined by logistical, infrastructural, and demographic challenges. In the Valencian Community, the impact of the 2024 DANA floods persists. Approximately 3,000 students in municipalities such as Massanassa and Alfafar are utilizing precarious prefabricated classrooms, a situation denounced by local Emergency and Reconstruction Committees (CLER). While significant investments are being directed toward flood protection in Torre Alháquime, other regions like Ferrolterra and parts of Valencia report ongoing issues including staffing shortages, declining enrollment, and unfinished construction projects. Other facility-related struggles remain, such as the lack of digital infrastructure and climate control at IES La Patacona in Alboraia, and structural displacement at CEIP Els Germanells in Rafelbunyol.
