The autonomous decision to ask families to choose if their children have to study mostly in Spanish or Valencian He has caused complaints again. The classroom reorganization After the Language consultation promoted by the Department of Education is becoming An odyssey for teacherswhile in the case of the schoolingthe choice between one language or another It has also generated problems for some parents.
In the countdown to finish the school year, the centers are working for weeks in the CLASS STRUCTURE of the next course based on the results of the voting held in February. They participated almost 58 % of the parents y six out of ten families in the province They opted for Spanish.
The Minister José Antonio Rovira guaranteed at the beginning of the admission process that the 99.67 % of children's and primary students of the Valencian Community will study in the language chosen by their families. However, the unpublished plebiscite of the Consell, which polarized families, I did not assure that the students had a place in the option marked by their parents. And that is what is happening in some centers where there was no unanimity or high participation, because the Educational Liberty Law of the Generalitat fixed that according to The percentage that will vote an option It would be determined The number of classrooms of one language or another.
“I voted Spanish, it can't be that now Make my daughter to Valencianthat Department gives a solution, “criticizes the student's father from a center where there are three units per course and there have been 12 votes for the Valencian, while the rest marked Spanish or did not vote. This has meant that to reach the 24 students per classroom, they fear that they have to have to go to schoolchildren who chose Spanish to the class in which it will be taught mostly in the co -official language.

“If there are not enough children for a class in Valencian,What were we voted? “, A affected mother laments.” We have the uncertainty Not knowing if he will continue with his friends or change him because there are not enough students, “says another family with the same problem.
In cases like this, now they are The management teams Those who have the ballot to distribute students taking into account the Pedagogical criteriathe same ones that have to apply for students whose parents They have not voted. And of the latter there were many, almost 40 %.

Doubts in admission
Another of the difficulties that some families have lamented, of which the majority union of the teaching staff has echoed, the Srepv, has occurred in the admission process to register students for the first time In a school. And it is that many parents marked their base language of preference, Valencian or Spanish. However, They could mark both, why Mark only one option It results in that, if the marked language is not the majority taught in the requested center, The student is not admitted. Only in case the two languages are marked The student would be admitted In that school.
Students have run out of place in their centers of preference for having marked a different language than the one taught
“This has caused many families have been excluded from the center or desired centers and now they are admitted in other less priority centers or, even, not admitted and will have to be the Schooling Commission that decides what center they are going, “explain from the STEPV, which has lamented the lack of information by education to the families and the managerial teams, complaint in which the Association of Children's and Primary Directors of the Valencian Community coincides.
Faced with this, from the Department of José Antonio Roviradefends that the possibility of marking the two options “It was specified” With this message When making the request Telematic: “Remember that if you want to opt in the same center to its two base language modalities, in your application You must specify twice the same center (one with Castilian base language and another with a Valencian base language) according to the desired order. “However, this clarification It was not understood For all families.
Education specified that both languages could be marked if you wanted to opt for the two modalities of the center
The STEPV has branded “nefarious” The management of the Department of Education “in the application of the so -called educational freedom law, which has not stopped generating unnecessary problems and confrontations and that, as the union already criticized at the time, would only generate Chaos in educational centers“In addition, the union has again warned that in the areas of Spanish linguistic predominance Nor has the election been respected of families in the consultation and will barely be created Units in Valencian, something that Rovira He has been denialing.
From the Federation of Associations of Parents of Students (FAPA) Enric Valor also regretted the “mess” and “complications“That families have had during the admission process so as not to run out of place in the chosen center, while from FAPA Gabriel Miró It can be claimed. The definitive lists are published on June 18, while the telematic registration is June 18 to 27 and the face -to -face from June 18 to July 2.
As a novelty of admission for the 2025-2026 course, education highlighted the effort made to ensure that the confirmation of Plaza to the assigned center has been performed telematic or extraordinary admission In July, which will also be telematics.
