Nueva Canarias (NC) deputy, Carmen Hernández, described the upcoming Teaching Authority Law as a norm "to look good to the electorate," arguing that many of its provisions are already covered by previous legislation such as the LOE or the 2011 coexistence decree. The political party presented a total of 19 amendments on Thursday with the aim of "improving" the law, which seeks to grant teachers a presumption of veracity.

Hernández pointed out that teaching authority laws are often promoted by the Popular Party and carry an ideological component that, in her view, avoids fostering school coexistence and conflict prevention. "We are not against supporting this authority, quite the opposite, but we believe that besides stating it, real measures must be implemented to make that support effective," she clarified.

Nueva Canarias' proposal particularly focuses on providing classroom resources, suggesting measures such as shared teaching, the incorporation of assistants, or reducing student-teacher ratios. The deputy alluded to the increase in students with specific educational support needs (SEN) without a proportional increase in resources or specialized staff.

Furthermore, the party proposes salary improvements to "enhance the teaching profession," suggesting increased allowances for tutors, management teams, and teachers working in more disadvantaged environments. Hernández argued that the socioeconomic circumstances of families influence the classroom atmosphere.

One of the key measures proposed is the creation of a school coexistence observatory to gather official data on the classroom environment and implement appropriate measures, as currently "there is no official data" on this matter.

Hernández stated that NC's amendments were developed after listening to unions, families, and the Canary Islands School Council (CEC). "Everyone agrees that there is widespread discontent and psychological and emotional wear among teachers, who feel overwhelmed by bureaucracy and lack of support in classrooms," she emphasized.

Finally, the deputy hopes the Government will show willingness to dialogue and accept the proposals, warning that the law "started off on the wrong foot because it is a law without consensus" and, if the amendments are not incorporated, "it is doomed to have no one's support."
