Overview

• Comunidad Valenciana begins classes for 810,730 students under the new language‑choice system, with authorities saying more than 99.8% study in the family’s chosen language after a near 50–50 split between Valencian and Spanish.
• Flood recovery continues in Valencia: about 3,000–3,079 pupils from eight hardest‑hit centers start in prefabricated classrooms, some openings slip by one to two days, and the region budgets an additional €70 million on top of €70 million already spent.
• Teaching workforces expand: Valencia reports a record 83,592 teachers, while Madrid’s publicly funded centers reach 92,653 staff as the region reduces ratios and brings 2,725 new public‑school teachers into classrooms.
• New infrastructure comes online with 18 education centers opening across Valencia (nine from today) and 15 new projects in Madrid, alongside targeted ratio reductions and rural safeguards to counter falling enrollments in several regions.
• Device policies tighten: Catalonia extends its mobile‑phone ban into secondary and scales back individual devices in early years, and Madrid restricts individual screen use in class, as regions also report lower pupil numbers and continued growth in vocational training.
