Data from the Ministry of Finance dismantle the triumphalist discourse of José Ignacio Wert in relation to teacher employment.
During the last two years, for the current period Popular Party government, non-university public education has lost 24,248 jobs, according to data released by the Ministry of Finance.
Of these, 19,861 are career officials, ie people organic template with fixed full time employment.
Destruction of teaching positions is primed with this group: between January 2012 and January 2013, 9,440 staff jobs, and the last calendar year another 10,371 more were lost.
The number of interim unemployed people who have been in the last two years is 4.387 (it went from 88,314 to 83,927).
In this group we are not talking about full-time work in all cases, but an unknown number of hires part-time (half-days or even 3 days weekly hours) is included.
These contracts may last for just one day, so the decline in employment has undoubtedly been much higher than the numbers that shed said.
In addition, statistics from the Ministry of Finance data refers to December 2013, so do not include the large number of interns who are dismissed in June coinciding with the end of the school year.
The loss of jobs has coyly been slowed by temporary jobs that are replacing landlines, promoting rotation.
However, even then the bleeding suffered by non-university public education stops.
Facing a savage policy of destroying public employment teaching medium term it will hurt the quality of education, CCOO Federation of Teaching Templates demand adequate to serve the entire student body, establishing a maximum number of students / teacher ratio as: Children (15) Elementary (20) Compulsory Secondary (25) and post-compulsory (30).
These ratios should be reduced in rural and remote centers performance.
In addition, CCOO rights requires teachers to ensure interim;
