The management of the
Andreu Castells school in Sabadell
(
Barcelona
) has taken the dismissal en bloc after repeated complaints from families about the center's low educational level.
As Catalunya Ràdio
announced this Wednesday
and sources from the Federated Association of Student Families of Catalonia (aFFaC) have confirmed to EFE, the loss of the three members of the management of the public center has led the Department of Education to take control, through educational inspection.
The conflict between families and the school management dates back to 2019, the year since aFFaC has been monitoring complaints
from parents about the low level of education
they consider their children receive.
From aFFaC they assure that the families are at a "critical point" in which "they have lost confidence in the management" and "any patch that is put on is no longer useful."
Added to the feeling of "very low educational level" are the
poor ways
in which the management treats families, as a mother at the school, Verónica Calvo,
explained to
Catalunya Ràdio .
Lack of project
The families had already demonstrated to demand the resignation of the management and, in recent weeks, a group of former teachers have joined the complaint and have signed a statement regretting the
lack of a pedagogical project
at the center.
The Department of Education has confirmed that a team is following the case and that
the inspectorate has assumed the management's functions
since the dismissal occurred last Wednesday.
According to the director of the territorial services of Education in the Vallès Occidental region, Maite Fons, they are working to guarantee normality in the school.
"From the first moment the Department of Education has been physically through the inspection, which has taken the lead; we are working to try to
find an interim management team
to assume the organizational and pedagogical leadership of the center," Fons explained. .
He has assured that the coordinators
and teachers continue to guarantee classes for the students
and has committed to continue talking to the families to "fit together and guarantee that the school functions normally."
