An increasingly unequal society is bringing serious social problems to educational institutions. Growing inequalities, extreme poverty, social violence, and mental illness generate conflicts that teachers must face without the necessary resources and with a sense of isolation and abandonment. Signs on the doors of some schools express this clearly: "We are outraged that the educational psychologist is not part of the school staff"; "We are outraged that we have to train ourselves in our free time and at our own expense in dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, specific language impairment, ADHD, dyscalculia..." </p>]]></description>

The railway collapse in Catalonia could at least have a "relatively easy" solution, according to the latest report by Comisiones Obreras (Workers' Commissions). At the beginning of the month, this union dusted off a project they had already attempted to launch four years ago, in 2021, and which they now consider "more necessary than ever." The aim is to shake up the current "scarce" Avant services (which offer medium-distance high-speed journeys at regulated prices) to create a "real" Catalan public network of high-speed trains for medium-distance journeys, adequate to current demand and allowing the working class and students to travel to work or university every day. And to do so with sufficient seats, on time, and at competitive prices.</p>]]></description>
