After holding its National Council, held this Monday in Polinyà de Xúquer, it has decided to carry out a series of measures, some more striking than others, to maintain the reivindicative discourse of last year, in which an indefinite teachers’ strike was carried out in an atmosphere of tense negotiation between the Ministry of Education and the teachers.
