More than a hundred management teams from 300 educational centers in the Valencian Community submitted their resignation this Thursday at the Corts Valencianes, where President Juanfran Pérez Llorca addressed the teachers’ demands at the end of the morning. The head of the Consell held a conversation with representatives of the school administrations and families, assuring them that there is a willingness to reach “an understanding” and that “there is no ultimatum for dialogue.” Furthermore, he emphasized that he has financially quantified the proposal for improvements that the Department of Education has made to the unions calling the indefinite strike and committed that “if it is signed, it will be fulfilled.”
The atmosphere, however, had already been heated since the morning, and the management staff were submitting their resignations amid the complaints of the teachers gathered at the Corts. Union sources explain that the teams intended to submit their resignation to the Directorate General of Education, located in the Department, but given the gathering, they preferred to take their decision to the Valencian parliament, where the resignation of more than a hundred officials has been submitted by registered entry.

Union sources explain that throughout the day other resignations will be arriving because different faculty meetings and school councils are convened to express the discontent of the management teams, who already last Thursday explained the “situation of vulnerability” that Valencian public education is experiencing. “We cannot be the transmission belt of how the faculties are being suffocated,” the same sources explained to La Vanguardia. “We are becoming the shoulder to cry on for our colleagues, whom we see we cannot provide a solution to,” they reiterated.
