The highest item, more than 4,355 million, will be allocated to the expenses of teaching and educational personnel
The concerted will receive an “economic accompaniment” of 988.10 euros for each vulnerable student enrolled
Almost an hour late – the commission was scheduled for three and did not start until just before four – the Minister Josep González-Cambray appeared this Friday afternoon at the Parliament To present accounts in your area. 6,826 million“the highest budget in history”, as he has never tired of repeating, and “675 million more, 11%, compared to the 2022 budget, the highest year-on-year increase in the last 15 years”. An investment, yes, they remind him both from the opposition and from the unions and the company itself Bofill Foundation, “still very far from the 4.2% of the GDP of the State as a whole, the 4.6% of the EU’s GDP and the 6% of GDP defined in the LEC“.
Of the 6,826 million approved, the highest item, more than 4,355 million, will go to the teaching and educational staff costs, “the biggest game in personal history”, Cambray has reiterated; and 590 will be dedicated to Inclusive School (11.8% more than in previous accounts), and 487 million to “consolidate 6,804 more teachers to the education system“.
Free I2
The ‘minister’ Cambray has also puffed up his chest at the beginning of his speech on the 84.7 million (“52.3 million more than last year”) that will go to “guarantee continuity and free schooling I2″, measure that started last September with insufficient resources, as some drowned town halls have been denouncing for some time.
The accounts agreed with the PSC also include an increase of 39 million in the budget for the subsidized school, until you reach the 1,269 million, something that once again worries teachers’ unions and public teachers, the Affac and the Bofill Foundation. From the institution they indicate that “its financing has been increased before approving the new concert decree which should guarantee the co-responsibility measures throughout the concerted network and a good reception of students with special educational needs”. “They are the budgets of the concerted, their items are increased while our demands are left out,” he adds Iolanda Segura, spokesperson for Ustec, the main union in public school.
The plan against school segregation -in which this increase is framed and in which 55 million are invested- includes “financial support” for vulnerable students, with a financial contribution for each student who enters the system (to I3, in the schools, and first ESO, in institutes), 384.66 euros in public schools and 988.10 euros per student in subsidized schools.
