The Minister of Education, Esther Niubó, has convened a sectoral meeting with the unions with representation for Thursday to try to reduce the tension opened by the 17 strike days announced for May and June.
The clash centers on the agreement signed with CCOO and UGT, which the department does not want to reopen, while the unions reject it for having closed it, according to them, "behind the backs of the majority".
Niubó does not want to touch the pact and calls the strike "disproportionate"
The counselor has defended that the text is "a very good agreement, which responds to the issues raised by the educational community".

Niubó responded this way to the question about the alleged infiltration of agents in a teachers' assembly during an interview on RAC1.
The head of Education has also ruled out resigning because, in her opinion, it would not solve the open problems.
The department interprets the strike calendar as a pressure tactic that comes after a school year marked by negotiations with the majority unions.
Around 900 centers plan to cancel trips and camps next year
The counselor regretted that about 900 primary and secondary schools are considering suspending trips and camps as a pressure measure for the next school year.
Niubó has asked to redirect the situation and added that the government will not let the leisure sector fall.
Union demands include recovering lost purchasing power, reducing ratios, improving attention to diversity, and reducing bureaucratic burden.
The mobilization calendar includes 17 strike days in May and June, with the rejection of the pact as the main focus of the protest.
Niubó has said that the strike announcement seems "a disproportionate point" to him and that he does not intend to reconsider the agreement signed with CCOO and UGT.
The sectoral meeting scheduled for Thursday will bring together all unions with representation and will be the first formal attempt to channel a conflict that has already led several centers to consider canceling extracurricular activities.
