"Today, more female students can share a classroom with classmates from their neighborhood than in the past."

Another case of Catalan schools opting to lose their Education funding to maintain a system that separates students by sex. After two schools in Vallès announced a few months ago that they were merging to maintain gender segregation, two schools in Girona are now following the same path.

In the last fifteen years, the birth rate in Catalonia has fallen by 37%. Next year, for the first time, this drop in births will affect all educational years, from I3 to 4th year of ESO. This situation forces the Department of Education to decide: either reduce the ratios – with the consequent need for more spaces and professionals – or close lines in schools and institutes that see how the classrooms are becoming increasingly empty. "School planning is what can end up making your child end up in a middle-class ghetto," said the director of the Bofill Foundation, Ismael Palacín, on Tuesday.
