Aid to the Concerted Baccalaureate in La Rioja
Recently, the Government of La Rioja announced the allocation of 600,000 euros in subsidies for high school in subsidized centers. This decision has generated controversy and has been questioned by the Platform for Public Education of La Rioja, which is made up of various organizations.
Impact on Public Education
The Platform has expressed its concern, pointing out that this aid represents a diversion of public resources towards private centers, which, in its opinion, promotes a discriminatory model and generates social inequalities. Furthermore, they consider that this measure will negatively affect the quality of public education in the region.
Call to the Educational Community
Faced with this situation, the Platform for Public Education calls on the educational community to stop this process, arguing that the focus on the concerted baccalaureate entails an imbalance with the public centers that offer this level of studies. They emphasize that high school is not a mandatory stage and that these subsidies represent a detriment to public education.
