La Llosa de Ranes demands dignified public education

Published on June 06, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Hundreds of residents of La Llosa de Ranes took to the streets to denounce the shortcomings of their public school. Among the main complaints are the ratio of 40 students per monitor in the cafeteria, the lack of air conditioning in the classrooms, and a single educator to attend to five children with special needs. The community demands immediate solutions from the administration.

What does technology say about ratios and air conditioning? 🛠️

In the technical field, school management systems allow for optimizing human resources. Staff assignment software could calculate ratios like 40:1, but that does not solve the lack of personnel. In terms of air conditioning, aerothermal systems or low-consumption split units are a viable option for classrooms without cooling. The initial investment is around 3,000 euros per classroom, a figure that contrasts with the cost of keeping 40 children without adequate supervision.

40 children and one monitor: the recipe for chaos 🍗

If the cafeteria recipe is chicken with potatoes, the monitor has 40 plates to serve, 40 glasses to fill, and 40 conflicts to resolve. A single adult for such a crowd is not supervision; it is a social experiment. The next thing will be asking the monitor to juggle utensils while explaining math. At least, with all this heat, the chicken will stay warm without needing a microwave.
