Overview
- Teacher assemblies voted Saturday to call a strike for the first day of school, September 8, aiming to force renewed talks over staffing, resources and classroom conditions.
- The Govern on Tuesday appealed for a normal start to protect pupils' right to education while saying it will keep negotiating with some unions and push to implement agreed measures.
- The Departament d'Educació announced mitigation steps, including placing a school nurse in roughly half of public schools, and said its leadership will continue meeting education actors over the summer.
- Key unions are divided: some organizations backed a pact with the administration while groups such as Ustec and CGT have distanced themselves, leaving the strike's legal registration and scope uncertain.
- The regional government downplayed a recent Supreme Court ruling on Spanish-language school signage as having no practical effect and framed the dispute as a test of support for Catalan-language public schooling.
