Directors of public schools and institutes in Valencia have agreed to resign en masse this week if the regional government fails to reach a deal with striking teachers. The improved salary offer from the autonomous government has been rejected by unions, which continue negotiating.
Valencian directors of public centers agreed Monday at an assembly in Picanya to resign en masse if no agreement is reached with striking teachers. The decision has the backing of the three regional associations of directors and would be carried out in block over the week, likely taking effect Thursday.
The regional government improved its salary proposal by offering 120 euros gross monthly in the specific regional complement, split into two installments for 2027. Unions including STEPV and CCOO view the raise as insufficient to recover lost purchasing power and reject the document, though they remain open to negotiating point by point.
The indefinite strike, called by STEPV, CC OO, ANPE, UGT and CSIF, shows 39.7 percent participation according to the Conselleria de Educación. Demands include lower student ratios, staff reinforcements and improvements in infrastructure and Valencian language use in classrooms.
