Overview
- Unions CIG and STEG led a 48-hour walkout across non-university education on October 28–29, combining mass demonstrations with local actions to press for changes.
- Six overnight sit-ins were held, including at IES Valle Inclán in Pontevedra, as teachers sought to spotlight staffing shortages and workload pressures without disrupting classes.
- Unions reported large street turnouts, including thousands in Santiago, while the Xunta maintained low adherence at 12.9% for the strike.
- Strikers demanded lower class ratios, more specialist staff for students with special needs, recovery of pre-crisis teaching hours, reduced bureaucracy and improved pay.
- The Consellería pointed to a separate “roadmap” negotiated with unions that did not join the strike (CCOO, UGT and ANPE), as CIG and STEG warned of further mobilizations absent concessions.
