FUNDANEED works with the student population and their families to address one of the key challenges at national level is the reduction of early school leaving. According to Eurostat’s latest annual report
on this issue, in 2020, 16% of Spanish young people between 18 and 24 years old had not completed secondary education – the minimum compulsory level – a rate only surpassed by Malta (16.7%) and far below the European average (9.9%). This places Spain far behind the objectives set by the European Union, which set a maximum threshold of 10% as a target for 2020.
In the case of Spain, where the student population amounts to 8 million people, the pandemic has shown that those who were socially or economically vulnerable before the pandemic may see a reduction in their vulnerability.
The pandemic has shown that those who were socially or economically vulnerable prior to the pandemic may see their chances of accessing, benefiting from and remaining in quality and equitable education reduced.
The pandemic has highlighted the irreplaceable value of the teaching profession in society, but also the difficult working conditions they face. Teachers, the vast majority of whom are women, have been on the front line to ensure continuity of learning when schools were closed and to provide socio-emotional support to their students, especially the most vulnerable students.
Work overload, accumulated stress, psychological state or lack of support for teachers are some of the causes that can lead to high levels of demotivation, sick leave, absenteeism and poor work performance. It is essential to take care of teachers’ mental health, as it predicts emotional well-being and student engagement and translates into educational quality.
What is SAME?
A week where the more than 124 countries that work to guarantee the right to education mobilise to draw the attention of the education community, the media, society in general and especially political representatives to the need to make the right to quality education real and effective for everyone in the world, framed in the 2030 Agenda SDG 4: Ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education.
In this edition in Spain, we continue with the One Billion Voices campaign that started in 2021 with the aim of urgently addressing the global education crisis and the lack of financing for education, which the COVID-19 pandemic has aggravated in the last two years and which is preventing millions of children and young people from fully accessing a transformative, inclusive and equitable quality education. Last year, we focused on listening to the experiences and emotions provoked by the pandemic, particularly among students. In SAME 2022, taking into account the enormous challenges and its role as a driver of sustainable development, we want to put the spotlight on teachers and reclaim their fundamental role in making the right to quality education a reality for all.
This year WE RAISE OUR VOICE FOR TEACHERS!
