ANPE Murcia Elects José Antonio Martínez Robles as President With Immediate Push on Teacher Reforms

The union will present a consolidated package of demands to the regional education minister on Monday.

Overview

  • Martínez Robles succeeds Clemente Hernández, who led the organization for more than 24 years.
  • A renewed 99-member regional council, majority female and representing all territories and education stages, was constituted.
  • ANPE, which represents over 24,000 teachers in the region, signals a new phase focused on assertive but constructive bargaining.
  • Top priority is a strengthened teacher authority framework, including presumption of veracity, legal assistance and civil liability coverage.
  • The agenda also seeks salary increases after a reported 22% loss of purchasing power, lower class ratios (Infantil 8, Primaria 20, Secundaria/Bachillerato 22), career and pay restorations, protections for interim and religion teachers, and investments in school infrastructure and climatization.
