Clear the unknown. The Valencian has been imposed, although by a few margin of just one point, in the consultation on the base language in schools and institutes promoted by the Department of Education, José Antonio Rovira, who has defended that the families who have participated in the referendum have opted “for a balanced and coexistence system of the two official languages, when choosing 50.53% Valencian and 49.47% Castilian”. Rovira announced on Wednesday the participation data, 58%, which described as “great success”, although 42% of mothers and fathers did not come to vote.
The Minister, who has appeared at a press conference to present the data with the Autonomous Secretary of Education, Daniel Mcevoy, and the Director General of Educational Planning and Linguistic Politics, Ignacio Martínez, argues that “a greater balance can hardly be achieved, also a doubly positive event as long as the families who have decided, and not the administration or any political organization.” In this regard, he pointed out that the result of the voting “demonstrates that the Valencian is a mature society, which chooses freely.”
Martínez has insisted that “practically” one hundred percent of the families who have participated in the consultation will have their children in the chosen language, “98% or 99%, as in the admission process.” “In cases where it is not so, center will be studied by center to see solutions and the Ministry will make an effort (as far as teaching staff is concerned) to try to make all demands be covered,” said Rovira and Martínez, who, however, have offered a nuance, that “practically” all families refers to those who have their children enrolled in centers of two or more lines. And they opposed the previous model, implemented by the Botànic, “in that case, half of the families were forced to study in Valencian, when it was not their option.” “You were cascaded and ate it, and then there was no concern for whether families could enter their first option or not,” the Minister lamented.
Regarding students’ rats by classroom, education has clarified that students whose fathers and mothers have not participated in the consultation. That is, 42% of students whose families have not voted will be located in one class or another (Spanish or Valencian) depending on the needs of the center to meet the ratios.
