Since the start of this academic year, student unions have called for up to three days of strikes, which can be supported by students from the third year of secondary school (3º de ESO) onwards as collective absences. In other words, they have the right to strike as long as it is called by an organization, has the support of the majority of the student body, and each student has their family's authorization. These days, however, always generate some conflict both in schools and among families. Some families worry because the strike slows down the curriculum, while others worry because they must decide on and allow the strike at an age when it's not clear that all students are ready to understand the strike, its specific reasons, and its consequences. Antoni Navío, PhD in Pedagogy and Vice President of the Official College of Pedagogy of Catalonia, acknowledges that there are many differences in maturity and judgment in secondary school, and therefore, some students may be prepared while others may not. "The faculty knows this, which is why this standard has been set," he says, referring to the age limit of 14 as a "filter."
