The Government will change the law so that all teachers are public authorities In the last few weeks there have been three incidents with parents who have abused teachers of their children in schools in Girona, Tarragona and El Vallès
The Government will send a bill to Parliament to extend the Education Law of Catalonia (LEC) and that all teachers are considered public authorities, a condition that now only have the directors, and that would protect them from aggression such as those recorded in the last weeks. The reform was announced this Thursday by the Education Councilor, Irene Rigau, in the Committee on Education and Universities of Parliament, where he appears to explain the beginning of this 2011-2012 academic year, which he described as "normal" despite spending cuts of more than 7% in his department.
Rigau recalled that in the last two weeks there have been three incidents with parents who have threatened or threatened their children's teachers in schools in Maçanet de la Selva (Girona), Constantí (Tarragona) and in a center in the region of Vallès. In the case of Constatí, the detainees arrested on 5th of this month to the mother of a student to assault a professor at the CEIP Centcelles de Constantí (Tarragona), in front of her daughter and the father of the minor, who It was also denounced by threats.
In Maçanet de la Selva, the police arrested the grandmother and mother of a six-year-old student from the school of this town accused of threatening the death of the director and the teacher of the child. The third aggression occurred in a school in the Vallès region, according to the counselor, but the case has not yet been passed. "We want to send the message to the society of respect and esteem teachers," said Rigau, recalling that the LEC already recognizes to the directors of centers the condition of public authority but not teachers, a situation that is now changing change that would entail that any aggression to a master would be considered an attack on the authority.
The counselor has considered that the fact that Parliament has already approved unanimously a motion for a resolution in which teachers are offered support in this type of violent situations will help to reach a consensus on their proposal for legislative reform. The presentation of the bill will mean the extension of the consideration of teachers as public authorities, equaling their condition to which school principals had until now. The deputy Dolors Camats (ICV) stressed that, in this regard, the Government of the Generalitat has taken note of previous proposals of the CFP, which just demanded that all teachers have the status of public authority, to protect themselves against possible aggression .
