Overview

• Catalonia begins between September 8 and 12 with 1,604,987 students and 1,672 more teachers, extends a mobile‑phone ban across compulsory education, and rolls out early‑detection tests, added psychologists and 250 pilot inspection centers.
• In the Valencian Community, primary and infant pupils at Ausiàs March and Lluís Vives in Massanassa will not start on September 8 because modular classrooms are unfinished, and the conseller says brief postponements of one or two days are possible in DANA‑affected towns.
• Valencian officials report 810,730 enrolled students (−1,789 year over year) and 83,592 staff (+1.72%), as a public‑education platform protests outside the department over resources and storm repairs.
• Parents’ associations in Massanassa voice frustration and weigh protests, and the STEPV union flags incomplete works in Massanassa, Alfafar and Catarroja, noting doubts that some centers can open on September 8.
• Beyond these hotspots, regions report fewer students but targeted staffing: Castilla‑La Mancha opens with 384,667 pupils (−3,038) and 530 more teachers, Cantabria counts roughly 84,000 pupils (−3,000) with the same 8,445 teachers and phone restrictions, and Galician districts post declines alongside new hires after summer exams.
