Sanchez blames the PP for PISA's poor performance, and Feijóo for "education socialism."
During his congressional appearance, the President of the Spanish Government said that some autonomous communities run by the PP do not use educational resources.
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has held the Autonomous Communities governed by the People's Party responsible for the poor results of the PISA report.
In a face-to-face with PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóoin Congress , Sánchez has said that some PP Autonomous Communities do not execute resources for education and has pointed out that the Government doubled its investment in the Ministry of Education.
Sanchez has acknowledged that the results of the PISA (International Student Assessment Programme) report, published on Tuesday, are of "extraordinary concern in all Western countries and in Spain. " According to the report, 15-year-old students have experienced a sharp decline in science, reading and mathematics.
According to the president, the problem is that the PP "does not govern" and recalls that there are two "fundamental" bills to strengthen reading comprehension, the teachers' law and the ban on access to social media for young people under the age of 16.
"I hope that the People's Party will vote yes , "added Sanchez.
Feijóo criticizes the "degradation" of Sanchez's government
In his speech, Feijóo pointed out that Sánchez is not waiting for the quality of education, but that he only needs to "manipulate the census "with his grandchildren's law, and said that his first examination of" education socialism "has been the" biggest failure in Spain's democratic history. "
The opposition leader has pointed out that the best results are in the autonomous communities governed by the People's Party and that the two worst territories are those managed by the government, namely Ceuta and Melilla.
"The degradation" of Sanchez's government project "affects the children of this country," added the popular leader, who called this "unacceptable."
Feijóo has pointed out that in Sanchez's Spain classrooms across the country "are emptied of knowledge"and that the backpacks of Ceuta students "are filled with pepper spray".
