The government prepares a decree to avoid the 25% in Spanish

The Catalan government prepares a decree to avoid the ruling requiring 25% of classes in Spanish to be taught in Catalan schools, according to La Vanguardia. Therefore, the CEO of Pere Aragonés intends to circumvent the resolution of the Supreme Court of Catalonia (TSJC) which in his opinion attacks the linguistic immersion model endorsed by the Education Act of 2009. The Supreme Court expects to know in the coming days how its decision will be carried out.The ‘Minister’ of Education, Josep Gonzàlez Cambray, declared in parliament this week that the court ruling would be fought with a plan to promote Catalan and a “new regulatory framework to strengthen the Catalan school model”. At a meeting in mid-January, the ‘counselor’ argued with the department’s general directors that the judicial defense of the sentence would be an order on Catalan in schools that would affect the language projects of all schools. This will be accompanied by the creation of groups promoting Catalan in each center, of which 217 have already been established and will start in February.
