More than 165,000 children returned to school yesterday but only for a day because teachers have voted for strike action from Monday.
While schools can’t official close, only a skeleton teaching staff are expected to be working on Monday as thousands of teachers protests against Balearic government plans to introduce a three tier language system to the school curriculum. The Balearic government wants all local pupils to learn English, Spanish and Catalan, a move which has put the administration on a collision course with teachers. They say that there are not sufficient teachers, specialised in these three languages, to enable the new education plan to be introduced.
School is back but only for a day in Balearics
