The decision that <a href="https://es.ara.cat/sociedad/educacion/semana-vacaciones-verano-curso-escolar-empezara-dia-5-septiembre_1_4267101.html" >the next school year will start a week earlier</a> and with an intensive school day throughout September without any previous debate has caused the teachers' unions to explode, and this Thursday they have occupied the headquarters of the Department of Education and threaten to stay until the <em>conseller</em>josep Gonzalez-Cambray, receives them and commits to reverse the changes. Shouting "Cambray, resign", the unions criticize "the opacity" of the Govern and, beyond the discrepancies with the measure, they are annoyed by how and when the measure has been announced, skipping the participation bodies such as Catalonia's School Council.</p>]]></description>

Schools have been informed via e-mail and the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, and the <em>conseller </em>of Education, Josep Gonzàlez-Cambray, have announced the change to the press from Baldiri Reixac School </p>]]></description>
