Students from the Valencian Community have joined the indefinite teachers' strike, denouncing the "unsustainable" state of the education system and calling for urgent improvements in learning conditions and funding.

Students from the Valencian Community are joining the teachers' strike in defense of public education and are calling for classrooms to be emptied for the duration of the mobilization. The student movement considers the current state of the education system to be "unsustainable" and demands urgent improvements in learning conditions and funding for schools.
In a statement released today, the Students' Union states that the educational community is staging "an unprecedented uprising" and supports the teachers' indefinite strike, which has "put the Ministry of Education and the regional government of PP-Vox on the ropes."
The statement denounces structural problems such as deteriorated classrooms, lack of substitute teachers for absences, overcrowding, the use of temporary classrooms (barracons), a deficit of vocational training places, a shortage of material and IT resources, and pending reconstruction in areas affected by heavy rainfall (gota freda). It also accuses the Ministry of showing contempt for public schools while favoring private entities linked to education, citing the case of Opus Dei and an investment of 72 million euros.
The Students' Union argues that the fight for public education affects "the entire Valencian working class" and encourages students to actively participate in mobilizations alongside teachers. In this regard, it calls for students not to attend classes during the indefinite strike, except in cases of scheduled exams, with the aim of "completely emptying the classrooms" and increasing pressure on the administration.
Furthermore, the student organization proposes promoting assemblies in educational centers and coordinating new joint actions with teachers. The movement assures that it will continue to expand the mobilization and encourages students to contact the Students' Union to organize in institutes, neighborhoods, and municipalities.
The students insist that their involvement in the strike stems from the idea that "the teachers' struggle is also the students' struggle," in a conflict that they affirm will shape the future of public education in the Valencian Community.
