Hundreds of teachers and families filled the streets of Valencia this Saturday, May 23, 2026, in a demonstration to demand improvements in the educational system and the working conditions of teachers.

The mobilization, which took place after ten days of strike, marched through the city center, highlighting the discontent within the education sector. Protesters carried banners with slogans such as "It's to improve children's attention" and "We want quality public education."
The protest was called by several unions and parent associations, who denounce the lack of resources, excessive bureaucracy, and precarious labor conditions affecting teachers. They also called for a reduction in class sizes to ensure more personalized attention.
The march concluded in front of the Generalitat Valenciana headquarters, where manifestos were read and speeches were given. Organizers have warned that they will continue with mobilizations if their demands are not met.

It is essential that the work of teachers is valued and that the necessary resources are guaranteed to provide quality public education for all children.

The demonstration proceeded without incident and saw a significant presence of families who joined the teachers' demands, showing their support for the education sector's claims.
