An indefinite strike across non-university public education in the begins this Wednesday, 14 October 2026. Unions including , , and STEM, alongside various educational platforms, have organised the walkout. CSIF has also called for three days of action, with demonstrations planned between Atocha and Puerta del Sol.
The regional government has mandated minimum services via Order 4252/2026. All centres must have a director and head of studies present. Staffing ratios include one teacher per 50 primary pupils and one per 90 secondary students. Special education centres require one teacher per 15 pupils, while nursery staffing varies by age group.
Unions are demanding a 600-euro monthly pay rise, reduced teaching hours, and lower student-to-teacher ratios. The industrial action follows failed negotiations between the Ministry of Education and strike committees in late September. Further protests are scheduled for 18:00 on both 14 and 16 October as the dispute over conditions continues.
