3000 new teachers

3000 new teachers so foreigners can learn Catalan

The lasts years, It has arrived a lot of foreigners from around the world, and the schools are desperate because there aren’t enough teachers to teach so many pupils and students.

This new people don’t speak the national language, so the children and theirs families have to learn Spanish or Catalan in Catalonia.
That is a big problem, and for this reason The Ministry of Education will crate 3000 new posts to help foreign students to learn Catalan.
500 schools, which have a high percentage of foreign pupils, have been selected with the hope of achieving language and cultural integration.
In the last seven years the number of foreign students in Catalan schools has risen from 2% to 13%, on average but some schools as high as 50%. Therefore, it is extremely important to teach Catalan and so integrate them into that society.

We know this problem because we live this situation in our High School, like an others of the around of Castelló d’Empúries.
