The Vice-Minister for Education Policy of theBasque Government Lucia Torrealday has reported that as soon as the caseof harassment of a teacher in Plentzia has been reported, the relevant protocols have been opened at the Uribe Kosta Institute. She has also said that these potokolos may lead to "educational measures", the hardest of which is temporary expulsion from the school.
After learning that the Bizkaia JuvenileProsecutor 's Office is investigating the "harassment" reported by a teacher working at this public institute by a number of students, Torrealday has stated in a press appearance that the Department of Education "firmly rejects" such conduct and has stressed that "the priority of the department is to assist and protect the teacher concerned by providing all the administrative, psychological and legal support he needs".
It also states that the intervention of the Occupational Risk Prevention Service has been activated and that the centre has initiated the procedure laid down in the Decree on the Rights and Duties of Students .
Hehas confirmed that the students allegedly involved are between 12 and 13 years of age ere and are undergoing primary and secondary education in Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO).
He explained that the Department of Education was first informed of the situation following the events of 31 October, when a group of students approached the teacher's home and threw "objects and eggs" at her, which were attended by the Municipal Police and the Ertzaintza, and which the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office is investigating. It appears that several groups of students had been harassing the teacher for years.
The Vice-Chancellor acknowledges that in previous courses there had also been harassment of this teacherand that the Department had not intervened in them because the centre itselfhad managed .
The above incidents "were resolved at the educational and local levels" through educational measures imposed on students, which were considered to "improve the situation".
After learning of what happened on 31 October, the Department of Education explains that the protocols that are put in place in cases of attacks on the staff of public schoolshave been launched .
An extraordinary procedure has been activated in this regard, and an instructor has been appointed. This instructor shall be responsible for collecting information and shall determine the measures to be taken against the students concerned.
"The pupils are minors and the measures must be of an educational nature," explained the vice-chancellor, who pointed out that they could be social work and temporary expulsion from the classroom "in exceptional cases".
EH Bildu has asked the Department of Education for explanations for "this eight-year case".
On the other hand, EH Bildu has announced that it will ask the Department of Education of the Basque Government for explanations as to how the teacher has followed the harassment reported and whether the "mechanisms to be put in place" in these cases have failed.
"As we have learned, harassment has been going on for eight years, so something hascertainly failed, "they say from the abertzale coalition.
EH Bildu has stressed that since there are minors involved, the issue is' delicate ', so we must be careful and discreet.' But we will ask the Department of Education for explanations as to what follow-up has been made to the case and whether the mechanisms that should have been adopted have failed or not. '
