million workers and 7.5 million students are called out on a General Strike in the education sector today. All levels are affected by the protest; it’s the first time that has happened. The stoppage is against the education cuts with the changes meaning that university students will pay 540 € more in fees, with many saying the cuts will mean many people having to leave further education. The Government has announced 3 billion € of spending cuts in education. Demonstrations have been called in all Spain’s regions with the exception of the Baleares and the Basque Country by the five unions which operate in education. They claim the measures planned, such as increased class sizes, will result in job losses of some 100,000. Unions claim that thousands of youngsters will not be able to go to university, and others will have to leave during their courses. Teachers, parents and students are expected to come together in today’s protests. Minimum services vary from region to region but in general the director will remain in every school with another member of staff. Infant schools will see the director and a person in the kitchen.
