A gestation conflict
The situation around the possible closure of a group of Infantil 3 at the Dolors Piera School in Vilafranca has become an intense public debate. The City Council, led by the Councilor for Education, Gemma Romeu, says there is no decision made, while the municipal group of Junts claims that the reduction in a previous meeting had already been agreed.
Cross -accusations between institutions
Together he has accused Romeo of distorting the truth, saying that he was responsible for the Generalitat for closing, avoiding the fact that the decision had been agreed before. According to political formation, there is an act of meeting of the Local Planning Table dated December that sustains its claims.
Details of the meeting
This meeting discussed the possibility of reducing a group of children 3 to Dolors Piera, taking into account the density of population by neighborhoods. The act indicates that the most suitable schools for this reduction were the farm and pear or Dolors Piera, in order to avoid vacancies.
Official answers and communications
In response to the allegations, the City Council has published a statement that emphasizes the periodic nature of the meetings of the planning table, emphasizing that no proposal has yet been defined for the next school year. With the pre-registration period for the academic year 2025-2026, the City Council defends the continuity of current groups and the need to review the ratios of students.
Reviews of the educational community
Laura Rodríguez, director of the Dolors Piera School, has confirmed that the center has been aware of the department’s decision since mid -February. Rodríguez expresses concern about the impact that this reduction may have on the school’s educational project and students.
Unit between centers
The director emphasizes cohesion among the public primary schools in Vilafranca, which agree on the need to reduce ratios instead of closing groups. This stance is shared by the AFA of the school, which has requested an equitable solution for all public centers and has suggested that the reduction of ratios to 17 students per group could avoid closing.
Uncertain future for education in Vilafranca
With two groups of Infantil 3 currently consisting of 20 students each, the situation at the Dolors Piera school is still tense. The educational community expects a clear and definitive response that helps to mitigate the uncertainty that surrounds the educational offer of the area.
