The first day of the strike in Valencian public education has been a success in terms of participation. A central demonstration in Valencia overflowed the streets from the Estación del Norte to the Plaza de la Virgen. The protests also had replicas in Alicante, Castelló, and Elche, with massive support that highlights the sector's discontent.
Educational technology remains on standby due to lack of staff 💻
While teachers demand improvements, the technological system of Valencian classrooms continues to operate at half capacity. Digital whiteboards and online platforms, designed to lighten the workload, become terminals without operators. Without staff to manage the resources, educational digitization hits a wall: the lack of investment in human capital to take advantage of the available technical tools.
The Department discovers that without a teacher, the robot doesn't teach 🤖
The Department of Education, in its infinite wisdom, must now be wondering why its tablets and projectors don't teach classes on their own. Perhaps they think that with a couple of YouTube tutorials and a virtual assistant, students will learn to program by osmosis. Meanwhile, teachers, with their banners, remind them that technology is a tool, not a substitute. But of course, that doesn't fit in the budget.
