Izquierda Unida Verdes Lorca supports the mobilizations that will take place today in our town in defense of Public Education, which will consist of a summons called by the students in front of the Town Hall in the Plaza of Spain at 12:00 hours and a demonstration that will start from The Plaza Calderón this afternoon at 19:00 called by the Green Tide of Lorca and the Platform in Defense of Public Education of Lorca.
Since the PP came to the government, applying cuts and enforcing the LOMCE without consensus with the sectors involved, the quality of the education system has been gradually diminishing, so today the following demands are again being requested: repeal of the LOMCE ;
Reversal of cutbacks (ratios, 20 hours in high school, discounts for illness, etc.);
Stability of interim teachers;
Increased budget devoted to education;
Recovery of a scholarship system that guarantees equal opportunities;
Elimination of university counter-reforms and unremunerated practices in VET;
Recovery of templates;
Dignity of the working conditions of the teaching staff and the brake on the privatization of the educational system.
The educational unions of teachers and parents' associations also request to be able to be part of the negotiations of the next Education Pact that is intended to be carried out between the Government and the opposition parties from which they have been excluded, so they join the call Of this strike in all educational levels, from Children to University.
In addition, the Pact does not contemplate in principle the repeal of the LOMCE nor the elimination of the cuts, but a simple operation of makeup for the opposition parties can join.
For all of this and for the mobilizations that have been taking place to date do not fall on deaf ears, join the acts called for today by a public education, dignified and future.
