Students Trade Unions are satisfied with the number of the students that have followed the strike. They affirm that between 80% and 90% of the students haven’t gone to class.

Students from the third and four year of Secondary School, High School and Vocational Training courses have been called to go on strike.

“Thousands of students and hundreds of pickets explained the reasons why a strike to defend Public Teaching, Public Education.

Yesterday many students in the protests in Madrid chanted together: “Where are our envelopes”.

Let me remind you what the law says about the fundamental right to assembly to discuss whether or not going to class when students are called to go on strike. It will not be consider a fault.  Teachers are not allowed to penalise students. However students have to communicate on writing the decision of going on strike by their student delegate.
