Three educational centers in the region of Urgell have formally communicated their refusal to integrate agents of the Mossos d'Esquadra into their classrooms.
The decision directly affects the Alfons Costafreda Institute of Tàrrega, the Ribera d'Ondara Institute of Agramunt, and the Lo Pla d'Urgell Institute of Bellpuig. These administrations broke ranks with the pilot plan promoted by the Generalitat to reinforce coexistence through police presence.
Rejection spreads in the cloister
Teachers and unions argue that the figure of the agent can generate distrust among students instead of fostering a climate of real security.
The educational sector firmly demands more pedagogical resources and structural measures against what they perceive as coercive actions within the school environment.

This critical stance coincides with that of various institutes in other areas of the country that have already abandoned the project after intense internal debates.
Education defends the preventive model
The Department of Education maintains that the initiative responds to the growing need to face complex situations and improve student well-being.
Official sources emphasize that there are similar experiences in other countries with a clearly preventive and community-based approach that has proven effective.
The administration insists that these agents act integrated into the school community to prevent problems before they escalate.

The situation of the Manuel de Pedrolo Institute of Tàrrega adds uncertainty to the planned deployment in the area.
Your address appears on the initial list but you have chosen not to publicly state whether you will maintain your participation in the scheme.
The immediate future of the pilot plan is now conditioned by these desertions and by the definitive response of the remaining centers involved.
