Gomila says she is leaving to pursue new professional challenges and that it was a decision she made freely and consciously a few weeks ago. Once the resignation was officially submitted, the next person on the Més-Esquerra municipal list is Antònia Pujades, who will assume the position as the new councilor at the March plenary session, "but that doesn't mean with the same responsibilities" that Gomila held until now, explained Mayor Miquel Oliver, nicknamed 'Avi'. "The councilor's areas require full-time dedication, being present... and at this time I couldn't manage everything the way I wanted. Out of institutional responsibility, towards the citizens, and towards myself," explained the recently appointed new president of Esquerra in the Balearic Islands and of the party's executive committee. "All these things are incompatible. Furthermore, I want to explore new personal and professional challenges."

In recent years, Vocational Training (FP) in the Balearic Islands has received a significant boost from both society and the government, with the aim of enhancing its prestige. This effort has resulted in greater visibility, stronger ties with businesses, and innovation in training programs, all in an attempt to demonstrate that FP is a solid and promising career path. Despite these advances, the reality for students remains precarious: almost half of those enrolled in Basic Vocational Training drop out before obtaining their qualification. According to data provided by Francesca Salvà, director of the Research and Innovation Laboratory in Vocational Training at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), based on a monitoring study by the Ministry of Education, 42.4% of Basic Vocational Training students leave their studies before graduating, four percentage points above the national average. At the intermediate level, the dropout rate is 26.8%, almost the same as in Spain as a whole, and at the advanced level it reaches 18.5%, also above the national average. Although these figures are negative, they are better than in previous years. However, when compared to the overall school dropout rate, which stands at 20.14%, they prompt reflection on what is going wrong. This contrast between the image of vocational training as a successful and highly valued path and the dropout rates marks the students' journey. Many arrive without knowing exactly what vocational training entails, hoping for purely practical instruction, and drop out when they discover that the weight of theory is unavoidable. Families without the resources to provide support, overwhelmed guidance counselors, and a labor market that rewards a lack of qualifications exacerbate this problem.
