In Salou and Vila-seca, public school teachers will suspend all out-of-hours excursions and residential trips for the 2026-27 academic year. The decision is a protest against what they describe as poor educational conditions across Catalonia.
The teachers say the main problems are high student-to-teacher ratios, a lack of staff, and not enough human and material resources. They argue these issues make it harder to provide quality education and to look after pupils properly during school activities.
According to Diari de Tarragona, the move reflects growing frustration among public school staff. The teachers want education authorities to act on long-standing demands for better support before they resume planning activities outside normal school hours.
The decision affects schools in two Tarragona-area towns, but the complaint is wider, with teachers linking it to conditions across Catalonia. For more local education coverage, see our news page.
