The center has lost two groups in the baccalaureate stage in the previous year and is faced with this situation of mass in the classrooms.
At the beginning of September the Ministry of Education took its chest in the press referring to a decrease in the average ratios of the region, which placed it at 29 students.
CCOO denounced at the time the intellectual trap of talking about average ratios instead of maximum ratios since an average like that was perfectly compatible with the existence of massified groups.
The facts confirm what we were saying when we met at the IES Jiménez de la Espada with two groups of 2 of high school that far exceed the maximum legal ratios.
This overmassing in the two groups is caused by the loss of a group at that level with respect to the previous year.
Enrollment has declined in the center and the Ministry has decided to grant the institute a group of less than a second year of high school, causing the nonsense of having groups over forty students (the maximum legal ratio is 35).
This situation would be easily solved if the Ministry authorized another group in the second year of baccalaureate that would allow these two groups to be unloaded, would make possible the arrival of new students of late enrollment and leave the average ratio of the second year of high school in the center in a reasonable 29 students per group.
Number that would come to coincide with the regional average that seemed so proud to the Regional Government in press.
CCOO Teaching demands that this intolerable situation be brought to an end.
If we had an administration that cared about the public school, it would cease in its incessant effort to save money at the expense of deteriorating public education and the working conditions of the public teaching staff.
