Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would amend the Education Act to state that education authorities must guarantee enough places in the public system and encourage the voluntary integration of state-funded private schools into the public network.
  2. It would add a new article requiring the Government to promote and facilitate the voluntary integration of state-funded private schools into the public network, and allowing it to give financial help to administrations that need it, as the Autonomous Communities regulate within their powers.
  3. The explanatory preamble justifies the bill by citing the role of public schools as a tool for social cohesion and a precedent in Catalonia, where a 1983 law led to 71 private schools joining the public network.
  4. If passed, the law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette, except for measures affecting the budget, which would wait until the following fiscal year.

Who it affects

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
