The municipal group Cambiemos Orihuela has organized for this Wednesday, May 13, a colloquium focused on the situation of public education in the Valencian Community and, especially, in Orihuela and the Vega Baja.

The event will take place at 7:00 PM at the María Moliner Library and will feature the participation of representatives from the political and educational fields to address current challenges.
The debate panel will be moderated by a councilor from the municipal group and will include a teacher and representative of the educational union STEPV, as well as a deputy from Compromís in Les Corts Valencianes and a professor by profession.

"The meeting aims to analyze how we have reached this point of deterioration in public education and what proposals exist to reverse it."

Among the problems to be addressed are the state of educational infrastructure, student overcrowding in some centers, the lack of teaching staff, classrooms without air conditioning, and the conversion of an institute into an Integrated Vocational Training Center.
The municipal group has cited the case of an educational center as an example and has pointed out that both the Generalitat Valenciana and the Orihuela City Council have done “just the opposite” of what the educational community demanded, considering that they have increased “precariousness and cuts”.
The event will also be held in the context of the indefinite education strike called in the Valencian Community. The organizers have argued that Valencian teachers are sustaining “with many sacrifices” a mobilization they consider “massive” and which, they state, seeks not only to improve working conditions in the sector but also to guarantee “the necessary resources for quality public education”.
