Galicia Orders Minimum Staffing to Keep Public Schools Open During Today’s Teachers’ Strike

The Xunta argues pupil custody, including safety at school, is an essential educational service.

Overview

  • The order, published in the Diario Oficial de Galicia on 24 September, sets minimum services for the 25 September walkout affecting public‑school staff.
  • Schools must open on their regular schedule with the director present or a delegated member of the management team to guarantee opening and closing.
  • The minimum service is defined as the full management team, with one post in centres of fewer than six units permitted to be covered by a teacher.
  • Each centre must name the staff assigned to these duties and display the nominal list on its noticeboard.
  • CIG‑Ensino called the strike with STEG’s backing to protest precarious staffing and alleged cuts to resources.
