Families will be able to see grades, pay for excursions, and talk to teachers from a single app
The Government will launch La Meva Educació in the summer of 2027 and it will be part of the plan to reduce bureaucracy in schools
Barcelona"That up to 21 years of educational trajectory are registered in a single application." This is one of the objectives sought by one of the Government's star tools for this legislature: the La Meva Educació application. The new app, which the Department of Education will launch at the beginning of summer 2027, has the same philosophy as the La Meva Salut app and will serve students, families, and teachers.
In fact, the future application will allow access with different roles depending on what you want to do. In the case of families, they will be able to access it to consult their children's evaluations or absences, but it will also serve them to make online registrations, to pay and authorize excursions, to consult the dining hall menu or to request an appointment to speak with teachers. In the case of students, it will serve to have the history of their evaluations – just as, for example, in La Meva Salut, vaccinations can be consulted – to view personal data or consult the agenda. Finally, for teachers, school administrations and the Department of Education, the app will serve, above all, as a communication tool with students and families.
A system with 150 different applications
Beyond leveraging all the data accumulated by the Department of Education so that "the educational community can benefit from it", another of the application's objectives is to address an unusual situation: currently the department has up to 150 applications active where teachers and principals have to enter data – often the same information is requested in different applications – or where they can consult information. Furthermore, Education admits that 77% of these applications are over 10 years old and, therefore, may be obsolete. The idea, therefore, is that in the future everything can be done from the same application, so that La Meva Educació will be fed by the information from the hundred and a half applications that are still used today.
All of this is part of the department's 2026-2030 rescue plan – which aims to "change the way the entire educational community works" – and the plan to de-bureaucratize educational centers that the Government approved in December with a budget of 60 million euros. The strategy seeks to "simplify the administrative processes" that teachers have to manage and also foresees other measures such as simply not requesting that teachers' schedules or attendance reports from support staff be printed to send them to the territorial services. In fact, according to the Government, with the first steps of the plan, it has already been achieved to send 46% less annual data from institutes and 32% less from schools.
App for the job exchange and improvement of the Sphere
With the rescue plan, progress will also be made on two aspects that affect the daily management tasks of teachers: the management of the interim staff pool and the use of Esfera, the application that teachers use to, among other things, record student grades. Regarding Esfera, technological improvements have been deployed to cope with the avalanche of incidents that teachers constantly reported and, for example, it has been decided that the last deployment of the application will take place in April so that there are no service interruptions between May and June, when the course ends and final assessments are made. With the applied changes, Education assures that the performance of the Esfera server has improved by 32% and the system's response time has been reduced by 13.5%.
Regarding the pool, by September of this same year 2026 or sooner, the app will be available for interim staff to apply for positions and assignments that become available during the course. The application will allow the teacher to accept or reject appointments from their mobile phone instead of having to do so via the web or SMS.
