The new IES Llorenç Villalonga, which will offer the Excellence Baccalaureate in Mallorca from next year, will have to complete a good part of the staff with interim teachers, after only five permanent teachers have obtained a commission of services to join the center. This is what various sources consulted by this newspaper assure, who consider that the final result moves away from the initial idea of the Ministry of Education to configure a faculty mainly composed of experienced permanent teachers. The same sources also question some of the movements made during the configuration of the staff, 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.
