The mobile debate in classrooms
The Minister of Education, Esther Niubó, has expressed her position on the ban on mobile phones in high school classrooms. In a recent interview, he made it clear that although he agrees, the final decision will depend on a commission in charge of the digitalization that was constituted a few months ago.
A balanced view
Niubó emphasized the need to consider the responsible use of technological devices in the classroom. He said that although the prohibition may seem a viable solution, it may be more constructive to establish criteria of use that foster positive interaction with technology.
The way to educational gratuity
In relation to early childhood education, the counselor has stated that the implementation of free for the I1 for the next course is a considerable challenge. He acknowledged that this commitment is a legislature goal, but it is necessary to work for the universalization of educational places.
Inversion I resources
The counselor has mentioned that the Government is promoting the creation of more public places, with a recent announcement of 600 new places. However, he emphasized that the increase in funding is essential to guarantee the viability of these initiatives.
The future of Catalan in education
In other words, Niubó has expressed confidence that the Constitutional Court will validate the law on the use of official languages in schools. He argued that linguistic diversity is a reality that must be respected and that the norm should not be considered unconstitutional.
Linguistic balance
The counselor criticized the establishment of a fixed percentage of 25% of Spanish in the classrooms, arguing that it does not reflect the diversity of the territory and that it does not respond to any basic pedagogical criteria.
The welfare of the teaching staff
Niubó has addressed the working conditions of teachers, recognizing the stress that many of them experience due to the complexity of their work. He argued that despite complaints about the salary, teachers are well compensated compared to other sectors.
Union claims
The unions have raised the need to recover lost purchasing power in recent years, with USTEC even threatening mobilizations if commitments are not formalized in this regard. Niubó, however, emphasized that the wage situation of the teachers is not as precarious as it is painted.
