Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill, introduced by Unidos Podemos-En Comú Podem-En Marea, seeks to amend the Education Act to eliminate sex segregation in schools.
  2. The bill would change Article 84.3 of Organic Act 2/2006 so that no school track that separates students by sex could be funded with public money, either through school funding agreements or through subsidies.
  3. The explanatory statement argues that mixed schooling is key to equality between women and men, that Spain has 67 publicly funded private schools that segregate by sex, and that several Supreme Court rulings have backed removing their funding agreements.
  4. 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 next fiscal year.

Where does all this come from?

  • 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.
