In late September 2026, Valencian Minister of Education, Culture, and Universities Carmen Ortí defended a record budget of 774.9 million euros for the 2026-2027 academic year. This allocation, representing roughly 30% of the region’s total accounts, included the ‘Pla Més Mestre’ initiative, which seeks to add 5,000 professionals and stabilize 10,000 positions by 2029. The announcement was met with political tension, as opposition groups and unions criticized teacher working conditions and the Edificant plan. By October 2026, the Department of Education announced a reallocation of 13 million euros. These funds, originally earmarked for the construction and renovation of schools and institutes, were redirected to cover ordinary operating expenses such as maintenance, utilities, and communications. This adjustment was necessary to compensate for funds previously advanced to finance the regional government’s Thermal Comfort Shock Plan. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Valencian Education Department reallocates 13 million euros The Valencian Education Department is transferring 13 million euros from school renovation funds to cover operating costs and replenish funds used for a thermal comfort plan. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/valencian-education-department-reallocates-13-million-euros ### 2026-09-25: Carmen Ortí defends record 774.9 million euro education budget Valencian Education Minister Carmen Ortí defended a record 774.9 million euro budget for the 2026-2027 school year, focusing on teacher recruitment and student-centered reforms. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/carmen-ort-defends-record-7749-million-euro-education-budget --- Cite as: Valencian Community education budget management.
