Political problem, which must be resolved politically
  • The students of the College of SEASKA have recently made the Brevise, also in Basque. Science tests have been carried out, although the right to speak in Basque has not been recognized. Like last year, the Rectorado de Educación has taken copies of the “kidnapped” tests to Bordeaux.

Several teachers have hijacked their rectifications in a protest held at the headquarters of the Academic Inspection of San Juan de Luz (INSPECCION). Also, Professor Amaia Saez has denounced that the fact that the science test is conducted in French is a "pure political option".

In this regard, the Basque Confederation of Education has stated in a communiqué that French education continues to apply the linguistic exclusion of the Basque Country. This is the basis for it.

Demonstrations in favour of Euskera and education in Euskera have multiplied at the end of the course: the teachers’ strike in early May, the concentration in front of the headquarters of the Academic Inspectorate in San Juan de Luz, the Tamborrada in Biarritz, the concentration of Donapaleu and the obstruction of the meeting on 26 June.

As a result, Seaska will earn 19.5 seats and the immersion classes will be opened upon entering the next school year in Irisarri and Ainhoa.

However, “how many mobilizations should be organized and how much energy should be expended for the State to respect the agreement signed (in the case of SEASKA) or how many teachers and fathers and mothers should be mobilized to open those classes of immersion agreed long ago by the Academic Inspectorate?” the Basque Confederation asked.

The electorate of the Single Community of Iparralde have unanimously approved the teaching of quality in Basque. And every year the concerns and negotiations about Euskera and teaching in Euskera are repeated when preparing the new course: It's too hard to have to behave the same way every year.

In the words of the Basque Confederation, achieving something depends on the political will of the French Government: “In this regard, it is clear that this year’s difficulties are those demonstrated by today’s governments, rather than a pedagogical or resource problem, which are linked to the ideological position.”

The electorate of the Urola Kosta Commonwealth report that: “A problem of a political nature, it must be solved politically,” the Basque Confederation said.
