BarcelonaTurn of important script with regard to the management of the teachers in Catalonia. As the ARA has learned and confirmed by the Department of Education, the Government on Thursday announced that the stable group of substitutions will not work next year, only one year after its creation. The measure was announced just a year ago, still with the previous governing body piloted by Pere Aragonès, and sought to deal with the problems that the Catalan education system has to cover the substitutions of teachers in the classrooms of schools and institutes.
But now the government of Salvador Illa has said that this government agreement is being suspended and, therefore, that next year this formula does not apply. At the moment, sources in the Department of Education have only confirmed the change and justified that “reason is the optimization of public resources”.
In this way, next year, a priori will cease to exist the double network of substitutions that this year had been materialized in two bags of different teachers: the traditional one so far and this new “stable group of substitutions”. The substitute network consisted of 2,145 teachers (778 secondary and FP and 1,362 of Infant and Primary), who have had a appointment – and, therefore, a stable contract – from September 1 to August 31 and have been dedicated to covering the substitutions that arose in their region. At that time, the previous government said that this measure would facilitate short -term replacement coverage.
