The new IES Llorenç Villalonga, which will offer the Excellence Baccalaureate in Mallorca starting next academic year, will have to complete a large part of its staff with interim teachers, after only five tenured teachers have obtained a commission of services to join the center. This is according to various sources consulted by this newspaper, who believe that the final result deviates from the initial idea of the Ministry of Education to configure a faculty mainly composed of experienced tenured teachers. The same sources also question some of the movements made during the staffing process, including the incorporation of a 68-year-old teacher who, by seniority, could be retired.

Marga Prohens' Government will create a Baccalaureate of Excellence –a name chosen by themselves, with all the ideological baggage it implies– and will establish a specific institute to gather the “excellent” students there. It is hard to find a more anti-pedagogical initiative. Or worse still, a more profoundly reactionary one.
