Teachers and families from the Marina Alta have secured the support of several mayors following a protest in Xàbia. The demonstration marched through the streets demanding urgent improvements in the education system. Participants denounce a lack of resources in schools and high schools, as well as working conditions for teachers that seem ignored by the current governing officials. The educational community demands real solutions.
Educational technology: digital promises without real connection 📡
While classrooms in the region lack updated computer equipment and stable connections, administrations continue to announce digitalization plans. A secondary school in the area reports that it only has one functional projector for every three classrooms, and wifi routers crash with ten connected devices.

The minister's algorithm: if it doesn't work, restart the course 🔄
The solution proposed by the regional departments resembles the classic turn it off and on again approach used by IT technicians, but applied to education. If a school has no books, sharing photocopies is suggested. If there is a shortage of teachers, the working day is extended for those remaining. The next step will be to ask students to bring their own projector from home. Meanwhile, in Xàbia, the educational community continues to wait for answers that do not arrive in beta format.
