Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would allow private grant-funded nursery, primary and secondary schools to voluntarily join the public school network. The school's owner must request it, with prior approval from the school council, families, the local council and the teaching staff.
  2. The applying school must submit documents on the building, its finances, its students and its staff. A commission made up of the administrations, workers and the school council reviews the request and, if approved, a timeline is set and an individualized agreement is signed.
  3. The building would be purchased or leased: for nursery and primary schools the local council handles it, and for secondary schools the regional department, with financial support from the Ministry if there are difficulties. Once this is done, the school becomes publicly owned.
  4. Staff would keep their jobs, and teachers would have up to five years to become civil servant teachers. The first integration call must take place one year after the law's publication and, after that, at least every five years.

Who it affects

  • Private grant-funded nursery, primary and secondary schools: Could voluntarily request to join the public network through the process set out.
  • Staff and teachers at those schools: Guarantees job continuity and gives teachers five years to become civil servants.
  • Ministry of Education, regional governments and local councils: Sign the agreements and, for nursery and primary schools, handle buying or leasing the building.
  • Families and students at those schools: Their schools would become part of the public network.

  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
