The point awarded to children of alumni, which the government introduced this year in schools, is an optional admissions criterion. From the outset of the proposal, it was noted that it would primarily benefit private schools. And so it has been: over 80% of schools in Mallorca, 71.4% in Menorca, and all schools in Ibiza have adopted it. This criterion disregards any circumstances affecting the student and only rewards parents who attended the same school. Although the Consell Consultiu (the regional advisory council) approved the measure, two council members cast a dissenting vote against it. Some public schools have also incorporated it: almost 35% of primary schools and seven of the 52 secondary schools in Mallorca; in Menorca, 9.5% of primary schools and 28.75% of secondary schools; and in Ibiza, 29% of primary schools. In total, 1,038 students from preschool, primary, secondary, and high school have benefited. The Regional Ministry does not provide data broken down by educational stage, but the proportions are significant. Dividing the total number of beneficiaries among the more than 160,000 students in these stages is not the same as dividing it among the approximately 8,000 students in their fourth year of preschool, the level that accounts for a large portion of the applications for places.

The STEI and USO unions held a demonstration this Tuesday in front of the Balearic Islands Parliament to demand improved working conditions and salaries for teachers in state-subsidized private schools. During the protest, participants demanded the reinstatement of the 2.9% salary increase already granted to public school teachers by court order, to recover what they were not paid in 2020 and 2021 by order of the government at the time. They also demanded equal rights and working conditions with those in the public sector. The demonstrators displayed banners and chanted slogans such as "Where is the 2.9%? Marga Prohens has forgotten us!" and "We are not second-class teachers!" They also shouted slogans like "Vera, listen: state-subsidized private schools aren't going under!" and "Equal pay now! Same obligations, same rights!" demanding an end to the disparities between teachers in state and state-subsidized private schools.
