IU-Green called for participation in tomorrow's demonstration against cuts in education (21/05/2012)

IU-Greens today expressed support for the teachers' strike called tomorrow, day 22, and has appealed to the educational community and the public to participate in the demonstration scheduled for 19 hours in the Place de la Fuensanta.

The UI for Education-Green, Esther Herguedas, has indicated that the cuts represent "a brutal attack on public education" that will lead to an overcrowding of classrooms, downsizing and privatization of public services, among other .

Herguedas stressed that the cuts "will result in a pruning of the education budgets of between 25 and 30 percent," which will represent "a historic setback that threatens the country's future."

"Education is a basic right guaranteed by the Constitution. However, the education policy of the PP government has decided that is only available to the privileged classes," he added.
