The Leioa City Council has begun the process to create the Municipal Education Council. This new body aims to bring together various educational stakeholders to promote projects and actions that contribute to improving education and coexistence in the municipality.
The Council seeks to foster greater coordination among all agents with shared responsibility in the development and learning of individuals, extending beyond families and schools. This includes associations, sports and cultural entities, leisure spaces, and the social environment, to best utilize existing municipal resources and promote shared educational projects with a positive impact on children, adolescents, and the entire citizenry.
Key functions will include identifying Leioa's educational needs and proposing actions to address them; promoting equal opportunities and preventing inequality; fostering positive coexistence and co-education; and encouraging the normalization and use of the Basque language in educational and community settings.
It will also work to connect educational offerings with other training, cultural, sports, and leisure activities, as well as to promote initiatives that encourage child and youth participation, the integration of newcomers, and lifelong learning.
The Municipal Education Council will function as a consultative and social participation body. Its proposals and recommendations will not be binding but will serve as guidance for municipal decision-making. Thus, the body can develop proposals and reports for the City Council to help improve municipal policies and actions related to education.
With the commencement of this procedure, a public exhibition period of 30 business days has opened, starting today, November 11th. Interested individuals, entities, and groups can consult the draft regulation and submit any allegations or contributions they deem appropriate before its final approval.
