Abstract

The Agreement on Education in Catalonia. Reality and DesireSalto de línea Salto de línea This article examines in which way the change of government in the Generalitat of Catalonia at the end of 2003 supposed a turn in the educative policy of this autonomous community.The three parties that then made up the regional government granted in their political programme an outstanding importance to educational issues. In the following months,a broad dialogue between all the implied social agents in education was developed.The dialogue ended with the signature of a relevant agreement,whose main target was to confer greater fairness to the Catalan education system.The author reviews all factors which influenced the debate and shows to what extent the school network of Catalonia, characterized by the existence of state and private schools, is affected by an increasing tendency to the social and economic polarization.
