Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill, introduced by the VOX parliamentary group, would remove two parts of the LOMLOE The short name for Organic Law 3/2020, of December 29, the latest reform of Spain's Education Law.: section fifty and the fourth additional provision, which deals with the schooling of students with special educational needs.
  2. According to the statement of reasons, the LOMLOE provides for the closure of special education centers within the next 10 years. The bill defends keeping these centers open and letting parents decide where to school their children with disabilities.
  3. The bill is presented as a first step toward repealing the LOMLOE entirely. VOX accuses that law of taking an ideological view of education and of being passed without hearing the education community.
  4. If passed, the law would repeal any provisions of equal or lower rank that conflict with it. It would take effect twenty days after publication in the Official State Gazette and is issued under the state's constitutional power over education.

Who it affects

  • Students with special educational needs and their families: They could keep the option of attending special education centers, if the bill is passed.
  • Parents: The bill seeks to let them freely choose the type of school for their children with disabilities.
  • Special education centers: The LOMLOE provision that, according to the text, leads to their closure within 10 years would no longer apply.
  • Schools and education authorities: They would have to adapt to the removal of the two LOMLOE provisions and to any repealed rules.

  • 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.
