Criticism of Xunta's Education Policy for Vulnerable Students in Galicia
BNG criticizes Xunta's education policies for harming vulnerable students in Galicia.
Key Points
- • The BNG calls the Xunta's education policy 'exclusionary'.
- • They argue it leaves disadvantaged students behind.
- • The PSOE labels the Xunta's education trajectory 'sterile and ineffective'.
- • Pressure mounts for more inclusive educational strategies.
The BNG (Galician Nationalist Bloc) has publicly denounced the regional government's education policy, calling it "exclusionary" and detrimental to vulnerable student populations. According to the BNG's spokesperson, this policy leaves the most disadvantaged groups behind, undermining equality in educational opportunities.
On August 20, 2025, the BNG highlighted that the current policy framework largely fails to support students from low-income families and those with special educational needs. They criticized the Xunta’s approach for lacking effective measures to ensure inclusive education. According to the party, these policies exacerbate educational inequalities rather than alleviating them, declaring that they are "leaving students at the side of the road".
Moreover, the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) echoed similar sentiments, criticizing the Xunta for having a political trajectory that they described as "sterile and ineffective" in fostering a fair educational environment. This label reflects a broader discontent among opposition parties regarding the government's handling of educational reform and support systems for marginalized communities.
In light of these critiques, the discussion around education policy in Galicia is intensifying, with calls for more inclusive strategies that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable students being voiced more loudly from opposition leaders. The focus remains on whether the Xunta will respond to this mounting pressure and revise its current education strategies.
