The next school year 2024-25 will begin on Monday, September 9, both in schools and institutes. Councilor Anna Simó has communicated the decision to the unions and school directors.
The School Council had asked Educació that the start of classes be precisely on September 9 with the argument that on that date the teachers would have five working days to prepare the course and coordinate the teaching teams with the incorporation of the new teachers in the classes. templates for each center.
At this meeting, all sectors of the educational community, including family associations, considered that this year the calendar dates did not allow an advance to September 4 or 5, as in the last two years. The families, within the council, abstained from giving a start date, they only asked that when their children started classes they did so under optimal conditions.
September 1 falls on a Sunday, so if it started on the 4th, Wednesday, the teachers would have only had 2 days to prepare the course.
The educational leisure companies, which prepare casals, had requested to know the start date as soon as possible, to be able to organize alternatives and hire monitors.
The announcement of the school start date comes somewhat unexpectedly. The school council had not prepared the relevant report, and the unions had not agreed on anything at the sectoral table. However, in general, it has been celebrated. The councilor thus manages to defuse an issue that had been stuck for two years when her predecessor unexpectedly announced an advance of the dates without having previously prepared it with the community. President Pere Aragonès announced yesterday in Parliament that he would not return to the previous dates, after Catalonia Day (September 11) since this is already a legislative agreement.
