Catalan ministers call for schools to defy Supreme Court judgement

Written by on 24 November 2021

Ministers in the Catalan region have written to schools across the area calling for teachers to ignore a ruling issued by the Supreme Court that would see the total number of hours of lessons given in Spanish increase.

Catalan Education Minister Josep González-Cambray wrote to educational leaders the day after the court in Madrid rejected an appeal from the Catalan Government which objected to at least a quarter of lesson time being spoken in Spanish.

Over 5,000 teachers received letters following the collapse of the appeal.
