The new Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, has distanced herself from her predecessor, Isabel Celaá, and has defended that the concerted "plays a key role" within the educational system. He recalled, in fact, that it was "a socialist minister" who created this educational model, where 25% of the school population studies.

"Some people forget, but if the concerts exist, it was due to a law of a socialist minister,

José María Maravall,

" he pointed out in an interview with the Ser chain. These words would have been unthinkable in Celaá, which stirred up the defenders of freedom of choice by stating that "the children do not belong to the parents" and that more than once it has stated that "the right to choose a religious education or to choose an educational center are not the emanation of the freedom of education recognized in article 27 of the

Constitution

".

Alegría has declared herself a "firm defender of collaborative work between public and concerted education."

"Education is a public service that is provided through the public and the concerted, the work between the two networks is a key element," he said.

And he has shown all his "respect" towards this system.

However, he recalled that the centers that separate students by sex cannot receive subsidies.

He said that the

Celaá Law

has been "very clear on this issue: when a center receives public funds it must be jointly responsible, preventing segregation."

Regarding the system that allows you to pass the course and obtain the title without a failure limit, Alegría has aligned itself with its predecessor and has appealed that "when a student repeats a complete course he is demotivated."

He said that "all educational laws spoke of a certain number of subjects", alluding to the failures, and recalled that the

Wert Law

"allowed more than three subjects to pass the course."

"The evaluation and promotion can not be directed only to how many subjects, but to the maturation process of the students," he stressed, recalling that this measure has been implemented to reduce the high repetition rates, which "influence high rates. early school leaving ".

Regarding the suppression of the reference to Spanish as the vehicular language of teaching that was carried out in Lomloe at the request of ERC, Alegría has said that "the vehicularity of Spanish emanates from the constitution itself and is more than guaranteed by law."

"The law is guaranteeing in this matter, there is nothing more guaranteeing than saying that, when students finish compulsory education, they will have acquired competences in Spanish and in the co-official language and, in addition, it calls to reinforce them."

He has not said that this call for reinforcement is made to the

Generalitat of Catalonia

, which is precisely what prevents more Spanish from being in schools.
