This Thursday, September 25, Galicia will experience a day of educational strike driven by the frustration of teachers facing a situation that many consider unsustainable.
Called by the unions CIG-Ensino and STEG, the strike by non-university teaching staff aims to raise awareness about the progressive deterioration of public education in the region and to demand concrete measures from the Xunta de Galicia.

The reasons behind the strike are: increasingly overcrowded classrooms, insufficient teaching staff, precarious working conditions, and an education policy that fails to address the real needs of schools.

One of the most repeated demands is the reduction of teaching hours, restoring the previous workload of18 hours per week in secondary and vocational education (FP)and 21 hours in early childhood and primary education, conditions that were in place before the cuts imposed following the 2008 crisis.

The Xunta de Galicia has established minimum services to ensure schools remain open, with the presence of management staff and supervision for minors and students who attend class.
