It has been promoted by the

It demands that the

They will be the ones that "will apply the instruments of verification, analysis and control of the educational system" and it will be the schools themselves that "will adopt the necessary measures to compensate for any deficiencies that may exist."

The regulation does not contemplate any mechanism to guarantee teaching in Spanish if the CCAA and the centers do not want to do so.
