After the first three days of the teachers' strike (there are still two more planned, and a sixth in defence of Catalan in schools), the balance is of a large mobilisation that has forced the Education Department to make some immediate concessions, and it is likely that it will not take long to make some other gesture, especially if it repeats mistakes such as distributing a leaflet at the Education Salon on the changes to the new baccalaureate, before having informed schools. If it was a showdown, it is clear who won.
