  • There are frustrations in the Balearic Islands over the imposition of Catalan language use in schools.
  • Families have been protesting to the Department of Education, wishing for their children to study more in Spanish.
  • The Balearic government has so far rejected these complaints.
  • PP and Vox defend the parents' freedom to select the main language of learning for their children.
  • There is a pilot plan promised by the Govern, still to be detailed.
  • The complete autonomy of the schools in this respect is questioned.

Conclusion: The language of education in the Balearic Islands is a contentious issue and it will take firmness to address and possibly change existing policies.
