Minister of National Education José Antonio rovira (PP) said this Wednesday in Las Corts: “aA teacher will be sought before a child is left without a teacher.”. He did this after being questioned by Compromís to explain his department’s general teaching policy and after learning that there had been empty classrooms since the start of the course due to the difficulty of finding teachers in some specializations such as IT or Community Services.
Presenting the Education plans of this legislature, Rovira said: It will reevaluate requirements for job boards to accommodate vacancies and withdrawals in hard-to-fill specialties.
IT, one of the most in demand, is an example of this; Since last week, the Ministry has published 100 vacancies but only 3 have been filled.. It is estimated that nearly a hundred classrooms have been left without teachers since the course started due to the lack of teachers.
Ministry and education unions They’ve already put a few solutions on the table. They met this Tuesday at Campanar headquarters to work on various ideas; all of these are already implemented in other regions such as Catalonia.
The real problem Computer scientists find and work in better conditions in the private sector than in the public sector, In order to enter here, they also need to complete a one-year teaching master’s degree. The Ministry recommends that if teachers cannot be found, computer scientists without a master’s degree should be allowed to teach, but they must sign a commitment to obtain this license for the duration of their employment.
Unions did not like the idea because they felt it was tied to the state standard and could result in the Treasury overturning the decree. Instead they are considering hiring VET technicians (rather than university graduates) and Additionally, current teachers should teach 24 hours a week instead of 18 hours a week. To be able to serve one class more than the class they currently serve. At the moment these are just suggestions and there is no concrete decision.
But, Rovira showed today in Las Corts that it is determined to find a solution Even though it eliminates this requirement of a master’s degree and even the secondary requirement of having a Valencian C1.
