Families in Córdoba Denounce Lack of Public School Places

Several families in Córdoba have voiced their concern over the scarcity of public school places, after failing to enroll their children in a capital city center for the upcoming academic year.

A total of seven families have been unable to enroll their children in the CEIP López Diéguez in Córdoba for the next academic year. This situation arises as 29 applications were received for 3-year-old Infant education compared to the 22 places offered, as reported by the school's Association of Student Families (AFA) and FAMPA Córdoba, who are demanding the opening of a new educational line.
The affected families believe that this limitation of places violates the fundamental right to free choice of school, especially within the public education system. They criticize that, while public centers “are not allowed to grow or expand units,” subsidized private education maintains or even increases its offerings, despite having less demand in some cases.
“

"A significant effort is being made to innovate and improve educational quality, but it is not being supported by the Administration."

the center's AFA
The AFA has pointed out that the restriction of places does not take into account factors such as the potential presence of students with Specific Educational Support Needs (NEAE), which could require a reduction in ratios and, consequently, further exacerbate the lack of vacancies. Furthermore, they denounce a persistent trend in recent years: the closure of classrooms in public centers, particularly in neighborhoods and historic city areas, in contrast to the steady growth of the subsidized private network.
As an example, they mention the recent opening of six new Primary units in a subsidized private school, a decision they consider contradictory to the refusal to expand lines in public centers with high demand. Following a meeting with officials from the Planning and Schooling Service of the Education Delegation, the families have confirmed that their request has been rejected and that a new line for 3-year-old Infant education will not be opened.
Given this situation, the families have called for mobilizations to demand solutions. They will participate in a rally this Wednesday at 7:00 PM at the gazebo in Bulevar Gran Capitán, alongside other associations and groups. The objective is to demand quality public education and ensure that more families do not lose access to places in nearby schools.
