The Ministry of Education has presented a draft for the Summer Complementary Educational Attention Service to representatives of the Administration and Services (PAS) staff. This initiative aims to open classrooms for the first cycle of Early Childhood Education in public schools across the Canary Islands in July, though it notably excludes teachers and canteen services.

The PAS Coordinator rejects the measure, criticizing the attempt to implement a family conciliation service using existing staff without prior negotiation and without the presence of a teacher in the classroom. They emphasize that the decree regulating early education requires a teacher, a higher education technician in Early Childhood Education, and an educational assistant.

The Ministry states that the decision is still being formulated and is based on the fact that technical staff for the first cycle of Early Childhood Education have twelve-month contracts. However, the Coordinator counters that teachers also have annual contracts and that this proposal significantly alters the annual work organization and infringes upon rights such as vacation enjoyment and personal days.

David Barroso, president of the coordinator, labels the measure a "political propaganda act" a year before elections and calls for timely negotiation, questioning who would be responsible for opening, cleaning, and preparing the classrooms.

The PAS Coordinator, in a statement, suggests this initiative mirrors past "grand public announcements" similar to previous "summer canteens," without addressing structural issues. They warn that extending activities until July 31st significantly disrupts the annual work organization and violates labor rights.

Education staff representatives demand "respect for the 0-3 workers, negotiation, and dignified working conditions." They conclude that families deserve solid, stable, and quality public services, and public education deserves "more than seasonal announcements and half-day daycare centers."
