The FAPA Giner de los Ríos has submitted a formal request to meet with the Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo, to present the critical situation of classrooms in public schools in the Community of Madrid. The federation reports that, as of June 8, 2026, classroom temperatures regularly exceed 30 degrees Celsius, a circumstance they consider a serious risk to the health of both students and teachers.

Parents have reported numerous physical ailments directly linked to the extreme heat, including headaches, migraines, fainting spells, and nosebleeds. In some instances, emergency services SAMUR intervention was required. The president of FAPA, María Carmen Morillas, has emphasized the severity of heatstroke and recalled the recommendations from the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, which set the threshold for compromising children's health at 26-27 degrees Celsius.

The federation has expressed its indignation regarding statements made by some representatives of the Community of Madrid, labeling them as 'outrageous.' FAPA insists on the need for authorities to assume responsibility for protecting vulnerable groups and guarantee the right to health and education under dignified conditions, criticizing the apparent lack of attention to their complaints.

Given the limited implementation of preventive measures, which FAPA states have only reached 5% of centers, the campaign #CuántoQuemaTuCentro #PorqueNoHacenNada (How Much Your Center Burns #BecauseTheyDoNothing) has been launched. This initiative includes the installation of temperature and humidity monitoring stations in over a hundred centers to create a technical map of the actual classroom conditions. The collected data is being sent to the Ombudsman, who already highlighted persistent complaints about extreme temperatures in schools in their 2025 report, and to other official bodies, as part of a denunciation strategy that includes written submissions and protest events.
