Overview
- Galicia’s government approved the draft on Monday and sent it to public consultation ahead of a planned submission to Parliament before the end of 2026.
- The proposal bans recording classes without express permission and blocks posting class videos, exams or other student work online, with narrow exceptions for accessibility or conservatory teaching.
- Teachers would be barred from sharing student images, voices or data from school activities on personal channels, a measure meant to protect pupils’ privacy and dignity.
- The draft limits phone use for teaching to students from the third year of lower secondary school (3rd ESO) and creates a right to disconnect outside school hours.
- Galicia would regulate artificial intelligence in education and extend teachers’ public‑authority status to online interactions, a first for a Spanish region that could influence wider policy debates.
