A new chapter in the relationship between the Generalitat and the Foundation
In a recent development, the Generalitat de Catalunya has again generated debate on hiring two figures linked to the Bofill Foundation, an institution that has been criticized for its role in the education of the country. This decision has raised new questions about the continuity of this controversial bond.
Real estate grants and equity
The Bofill Foundation, which has received more than 15 million euros in public aid, has also been discussed for its heritage, which includes up to eleven real estate for tourism in Barcelona. This has been one of the points that feeds the criticism of its management and its influence on educational policies.
Hiring of professionals with history at the foundation
The two professionals selected to direct projects to the Ministries of Education and Social Rights have a long history linked to the Foundation. One of them has been responsible for five years for several programs, while the other has spent more than 12 years volunteering.
The selection process: transparency or subjetivity?
With a selection system that includes two phases, the first based on objective criteria and the second in a subjective interview, doubts about the impartiality of the process arise. This structure could allow in certain circumstances to be preferred to candidates with previously established connections.
An educational system in debate
With this new agreement, questions are asked about the relationship between the Bofill Foundation and the Generalitat. How could an institution with a history of controversy continue to receive support and confidence from the Catalan Government? These issues reflect the difficulties of the educational system in Catalonia and its uncertain future.
Final reflections
The repeated collaboration between the Generalitat and the Bofill Foundation emphasizes the complexity of the dynamics of power in the Catalan educational system. As new projects are developed, it will be essential to observe how these decisions affect the quality of education and social welfare in Catalonia.
