The Minister of Education, Science, Universities and Vocational Training, Román Rodríguez, met with representatives of the Association of Directors and Managers of IES of Galicia (ADDIGA) to present the Xunta's new package of measures aimed at reinforcing classroom coexistence and protecting the authority of teaching staff. These measures include sanctions for aggressions by families.
The Xunta, through the accompanying law to the 2027 Budgets, will reform the coexistence regulations by incorporating a new administrative regime of economic infractions and sanctions. These can range from 300 euros for minor infractions to 15,000 euros for very serious ones. This aims to establish a specific administrative channel for protection, immediate prevention, and reparation of damages caused, which will be compatible with possible civil or criminal liabilities.
In parallel, provisional protection measures may be adopted while the procedure is being processed, such as temporary limitation of access to the educational center or participation in school activities. Furthermore, the imminent launch of the Teacher Support Office was announced, a new service that will provide accompaniment, guidance, and legal assistance to teachers.
The minister also emphasized the importance of educating students "in the value of rules" and recalled that the update to the coexistence regulations also improves the response to new forms of conflict. In cases of more serious conduct, such as bullying and cyberbullying, a change of school in compulsory education or the loss of the right to continue schooling at the center is established.
