The Generalitat will appeal the sentence
GIRONA, 2 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) has upheld the precautionary measure requested by a family and obliges a school in Girona to teach in a classroom “one or a few subjects” in Spanish, in addition to learning the language .
In an order dated July 19 consulted by Europa Press, it states that as long as the student “remains enrolled in the Catalan educational system, they effectively receive in Spanish, apart from the subject or subject corresponding to the learning of said language, one or a few subjects or additional subjects or subjects that, due to their importance in the curriculum as a whole and their teaching load, can be considered as main”.
The court has also required the management of the center, by notifying this resolution, to “adopt the appropriate educational provisions in order to effectively execute the agreement, giving a detailed account to the court before September 5.”
In the sentence, the TSJC has labeled the new Government regulations on the use of official languages ??in education as “unconstitutional”, and has indicated that it sees the requested precautionary measure to teach a non-linguistic matter or subject in Spanish.
Sources from the Ministry of Education of the Generalitat have indicated to Europa Press that they will present an appeal against this order of the TSJC.
The Assembly for a Bilingual School of Catalonia (AEB) has celebrated the decision of the TSJC in a tweet collected by Europa Press, and has recalled that the parents’ request “was made with the new legislation that prevents percentages” of languages.
This new order from the TSJC is added to the one that two weeks ago confirmed 25% of Spanish in a classroom of three other Catalan schools with a core subject in Spanish, in addition to linguistics itself.
At that time, the Minister of Education, Anna Simó, criticized that the TSJC was “exceeding its functions, supplanting functions of the legislature” with the sentences on Spanish.
