Overview
- In Galicia, CIG-Ensino and STEG led a 48-hour strike capped by a funeral-themed march in Santiago, with coffins, black crepe and mock obituaries to symbolize the plight of public education.
- The Consellería de Educación reported strike adherence at about 10% on both days, though participation varied by area and school type with higher uptake in some secondary institutes.
- Some schools adjusted evaluation schedules and exams to limit disruption, with reports of uneven impacts ranging from minimal effects in primary centers to notable absences in certain secondary schools.
- Union leaders say attempts to open substantive talks with the Xunta have failed, and they are pressing for restored pre-2012 lective hours (from 20 to 18), lower ratios, more inclusion staff and less bureaucracy.
- In Catalonia, USTEC·STEs, ASPEPC-SPS, CCOO, CGT and UGT announced strikes beginning 11 February, citing a lack of concrete proposals on pay and staffing and calling for an inflation-linked salary clause.
