More than 400 teachers from the Girona area met at the Generalitat's Girona headquarters on Monday, 1 June 2026, to discuss a pre-agreement on teaching staff working conditions.
The meeting was held in Girona, which is the main local setting for this story, and brought together primary and secondary school teachers from across the province. They were called by several educational unions to consider whether to accept the proposed deal.
The pre-agreement was reached last Friday between the Department of Education and several unions. It includes changes to working hours, a reduction in teaching hours, and professional development opportunities, according to local reports.
Teachers debated the main points of the proposal, including the overall workload and the number of hours spent in direct instruction. Professional promotion was also part of the discussion, with the aim of setting clearer career paths within the teaching profession in Catalonia.
The unions involved have not yet released the full voting results or confirmed the final decision on acceptance. The outcome will shape the next steps for the Department of Education and the unions, and could lead to changes in the rules governing teachers' employment if approved.
