Starting this Tuesday, educators from early childhood education centers in the Community of Madrid and the capital's City Council have begun an indefinite strike. This pressure measure, called by the Labor Platform of Early Childhood Schools and supported by unions like CGT, seeks a substantial improvement in the working conditions of their staff. The mobilization will directly impact families, who will have to adapt to minimum services.

The main objective of this strike is to achieve better conditions for educators in both public and private centers. The demands are directed at the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education of the Community of Madrid, and the capital's City Council. Key demands include reducing student-to-educator ratios (three babies under one year old, five for children aged one to two, and six for those aged two to three), a work calendar comparable to other educational stages (including July), five non-teaching hours per week for pedagogical and bureaucratic work, and ensuring dignified salaries along with an improvement in their professional category.

In the specific case of Alcorcón, the situation is more straightforward. The municipality's Platform of Early Childhood Educators plans to contact the local Department of Education to present their demands. This step is considered crucial, given that the representation of the city's schools within this body reaches 90%.
