For the second consecutive year, the new school term has been rocked by industrial action.

Palma.—Teachers are refusing to accept the trilingual TIL curriculum, which the Balearic Ministry for Education wanted to introduce last year, and they are also angry over continual cuts to education which  is why thousands of teachers took strike action yesterday with teachers’ unions warning that more industrial action is to follow if the government continues to refuse to enter into negotiations with teaching unions.
And not only did the President of the Balearics, Jose Ramon Bauza and the Minister for Education, Joana Maria Camps, feel the full force of teachers’ anger, Bauza also came under attack from the secretary general of the opposition Socialist party, Francina Armengol, who accused the President’s conduct as “contrary to community standards of justice, honesty and good morals.”
She also accused Bauza of holding teachers, students and  parents to ransom over his refusal to review an electoral promise made at the last election.
