The Basque Government's Education Counsellor, Begoña Pedrosa, has said that her goal is to "comply with everything agreed" with Steilas, CCOO, LAB, UGT and the Interinos Group and will continue to talk to them.

LAB criticizes the fact that the Department of Education is not putting in enough resources to comply with the signed, and has called on teachers to make a two-hour stoppage by 12 June to demand compliance with the agreement.

Pedrosa has stated in an interview on Radio Euskadi that the Department of Education intends to comply with the agreement in its entirety because is "a huge deal" , "very strong", and has reiterated its "clear commitment to reaching agreements" with the unions.

The May 9 pact, among other things, provides for an investment of EUR 100 million until 2028, the creation of new profiles in the public education system, and the lowering of ratios to "the best in the state."

Withregard to unemployment, he said that the trade unions should be asked why they were called.

On the other hand, asked about the failure of the meeting of the Jesus Maria and Jesuitinas educational centres in Bilbao, the counsellor said that all the students who have applied have the educational centre assigned for the next year.

In this regard, he said that the Department of Education is configuring thenew school map  to address the decline in enrolment and the demographic challenge. He has urged the agreed schools to act "in agreement with the educational community."
