Catalan students have delivered 135 letters against early school dropouts to the Speaker of the Parliament, Josep Rull, and to the committee. Sponsored by the Bofill Foundation and the Zero Dropout Platform, the young people are denouncing the high dropout rate in Catalonia (13.7%) and urging the government to develop a plan to combat it.
