<![CDATA[Ara Balears in English - public education]]> 10 <![CDATA[Start of the school year, in public schools and in Catalan]]> The most important news of every year has come out, and that is that the children have returned to school. The homeland, the country, hope, whatever you want, is this: that every September the children return to school. When this stops happening, that's when things have gone seriously wrong. There are no schools in Palestine, just as there are none in Sudan, or in Yemen, or in Congo, or in many places in Syria. There are no schools in places where there is violence and civil war. Eighty-nine years ago, after the summer of the Franco uprising, there were no schools here either. Let's be clear: there were no public schools, which had only recently begun to exist. Private schools, those for those who can afford them regardless of what happens or doesn't happen to the rest of society, are always open, of course.

Councilor Antoni Vera and the Mayor of Inca, Virgili Moreno, have signed a new institutional collaboration agreement that will allow the Inca City Council to use part of the facilities of the Balearic Islands Museum of Education for cultural activities compatible with museum use. The agreement, which will be valid for four years and renewable, establishes that the City Council may use the multipurpose room, the temporary exhibition hall, and the courtyard, provided there is availability, for cultural activities that respect the educational purpose of the facility. The Education Museum is located in Pavilion 7 of the General Luque Barracks, on loan from the Inca City Council. It includes a welcome area with a historical context and a permanent exhibition featuring old school furniture and teaching materials.
