The indefinite education strike has seen massive participation in the La Safor region, with schools in Oliva and l'Alqueria de la Comtessa leading the mobilization with figures close to 97%.

Initial data collected in La Safor confirm the forecasts of unions and teachers, who had already warned of significant adherence. Schools such as CEIP Lluís Vives in Oliva and CEIP Sant Pere Apòstol in l'Alqueria de la Comtessa have reached 96% participation.
Other schools, such as CEIP Magraner in Tavernes de la Valldigna and CEIP Santa Anna in Oliva, have also recorded high participation, reaching 95%. The mobilization has spread throughout the region, with teachers, unions, and families gathering at the gates of educational centers.
The teachers' demands to the Ministry of Education include salary improvements, reduction of student-teacher ratios, reinforcement and stabilization of staff, reduction of bureaucracy, improvement of educational infrastructure, provision of sufficient resources for inclusive education, and support for Valencian language. They also gathered in front of Gandia City Hall before heading to València to join other teachers.
At CEIP Sant Marc in Beniarjó, approximately 53.3% of the teaching staff supported the strike, with eight out of fifteen teachers participating. It is worth noting that minimum services were maintained, with one member of the management team and three other teachers ensuring the basic functioning of the school.
