Valencian Schools Open With Language Choice in Place as Flood-Hit Students Move to Prefab Classrooms

Officials report 99.8% compliance with family language choices.

Overview

  • Comunidad Valenciana starts the 2025–26 year with 810,730 students and an almost even split in vehicular language selection, creating 13,815 Valencian and 13,586 Spanish classroom units.
  • About 3,079 pupils from the dana “zone zero” begin lessons in prefabricated classrooms across Alfafar, Algemesí, Alginet, Catarroja, Massanassa, Paiporta and Utiel, with brief start delays at some centers.
  • The regional government pledges an additional €70 million for reconstruction on top of €70 million already spent, as 115 damaged schools resume activity after last October’s floods.
  • Unions in Valencia stage a two-hour strike by vocational training teachers to protest reduced attention hours, with rallies at education offices.
  • Across Spain, Catalonia extends school mobile-phone restrictions and curbs screens in early years, while Madrid opens 15 new public education facilities and lowers class ratios in key stages.
