The Public Education Platform of Vinalopó-Vega Baja has called for a demonstration and rally in front of Elche City Hall on Monday, May 25th, at 10:30 AM, coinciding with an extraordinary plenary session on education.

The mobilization aims to gather the entire educational community, including families, students, teachers, and non-teaching staff, in defense of quality public education. The meeting point will be Plaça dels Algeps (Chimeneas) to Plaça de Baix.
This initiative is part of the conflict over the state of public education in Elche, which the Socialist Municipal Group describes as "a lost term marked by setbacks." Among the complaints filed are the elimination of vocational training cycles in institutes like Victoria Kent and Tirant lo Blanc, the condition of CIPFP La Torreta, the lack of space at IES Severo Ochoa, the deficiencies at IES La Asunción, and the delay in the construction of the Conservatory.
The extraordinary plenary session includes seven agreements demanding urgent solutions from the Ministry of Education regarding infrastructure, ratios, resources for UECO classrooms, and educational planning. The platform emphasizes that this action follows 15 days of strikes, showing their continued support for quality public education.
