Euskaraz irakurri: PAIigelesezko irakaskuntza program D ereduaren pare jartzea onartu du Nafarroako Parlamentuak

The Parliament of Navarre approved this Thursday, with the votes in favour PSN and Navarra Sumaa bill introducing three right-wing coalition amendments that will “take the necessary steps” to ensure that the English language learning program (MYP) becomes a linguistic model and is therefore equated to model D of learning in Basque

The Chamber discussed and approved the proposal, which has demonstrated the rift within the tripartite government, as both Geroa Bai What We Can-Ahal Dugu voted against. Left-Ezkerra (I.E) Yes EH Picture They also opposed the move. According to these political formations, the rule suffers from a lack of legal certainty and will lead to differences between teachers.

The law provides that teaching staff applying for PAI positions must: English C1 Likewise, and at the request of Navarra Suma, it will not be possible to changera is later than other places in Spanish or Basque and “the necessary steps will be taken to convert the program into a model”. In the meantime, as long as the PAI is not a model, students are guaranteed to have the opportunity to study said program “under the same conditions as studying the different models of the Navarrese education system”. In practice, it concerns the possibility of transport and food pass when there is no center with these characteristics in the population of origin.

PSN and Navarra Suma, hand in hand

In defense of the proposal, the spokeswoman for the psnInmaculada Jurío, recalled that the temporality in the group of teachers of the MYP of the public network is 70%, because state regulations prevent the requirement of a foreign language to access a position in the educational authorities, but nevertheless Europe has had to reduce temporary government employment and the 2021 ‘Iceta Act’ does not solve the cited ‘stumbling block’ for MYP teachers.

Jurío explained that the socialists analyzed different formulas, but that, given the “urgency of the deadlines” – the stabilization OPEs are to be announced on June 1 “with or without the 300 PAI places” – it was decided to “take advantage of the competence of Navarre in matters of public function thanks to our historic rights enshrined in the Constitution and LORAFNA to tackle precarious employment and improve the quality of the Navarrese education system”.

In a note published after the standard’s adoption, which the PSN has described as “achievement”, it criticized the opposition’s position and that of its government partners for “refusing to stabilize civil servant positions”. “Our government partners act in a complex manner and adhere to government regulations as never before,” they have criticized.

the parliamentarian of Navarre SumPedro González, has urged to confront the PAI program with model D. “The PAI cannot be foreclosed because, in your view, it separates when the only model that has been segregating for 30 years in Navarre is model D,” he assured.

To them, Geroa Bai, EH Bildu, Podemos-Ahal Dugu and IE have criticized the law. The spokeswoman for Geroa BaiMaría Solana, has emphasized that the programmatic agreement “does not include anything comparable”, if it had “it would not have been signed”, but also “it is difficult for (the law) to thrive and not be challenged” if it has not been agreed with the Ministry, so it can be “an inexhaustible source of resources” if there are other formulas for these teachers, who represent “only 10%” of public temporary employment.

Bakartxo Ruiz, van uh Bildu, He has missed reports from the government supporting the legal certainty of this initiative, so he has asked if there will be resignation in case the Council of Navarra denies it in the requested report. According to Ruiz, it is “a political decision that has little to do with the working conditions” of MYP teachers.

the parliamentarian of We Can-Ahal DuguAinhoa ​​Aznárez, pointed out that her group supports multilingualism and the stabilization of teaching staff, but does not share the form or content of this initiative, which should have been a government bill negotiated with the unions and that a “attempt to circumvent state law” to “create a group of teachers who depend exclusively on Navarre”, so there will be “two bodies with different rights”, while demanding the C1 of English could be “unconstitutional”.

For I.EMarisa de Simón has said, is a bill that “opens a parallel system of access to public office”, a “recklessness” that “has no pass” and that will make “a major denouement” in public education, which it warned PSN that this is the way the programmatic agreement is “violated” and that a foreign language is placed “above all”.

The unions denounce the measure

Representatives of the trade union majority in Navarre (ELA, LAB, Steilas, CC. OO. and UGT) gathered at the gates of the Parliament of Navarre to show their rejection of the law because of the “legal insecurity” and the “discriminatory ” nature. , as foreign qualifications are required over the official languages”. They do not rule out going to the Public Prosecution Service to appeal the law.
