Overview

• Fundació Bofill’s new analysis names 105 concertada centers—about 21% of the sector—as enrolling one or no vulnerable students, while roughly 70% are aligned with their neighborhood profiles.
• The report estimates €402 million a year in public funds flow to schools that perpetuate segregation, a calculation used to argue for redirecting resources toward equitable provision.
• Catalonia’s 2022 admissions decree obliges every school to reserve at least two places per class for vulnerable pupils, and the report urges tying renewal of concerts to strict enforcement and monitoring.
• Bofill proposes shifting from a linear per‑pupil subsidy to a needs‑based formula with stronger financial transparency, including publishing full accounts and digital oversight of compliance.
• Education officials are preparing the multi‑year renewal process for primary starting in the 2026–27 cycle, with a stated plan not to renew concerts for sex‑segregating schools, as sector leaders counter that segregation reflects residential patterns and chronic underfunding.
