Primary school year begins with protests from parents

JIMENA A new school year and out pour protests about too many students to a class and the removal of a Special Needs support teacher ... Nothing new, then. Year after year it seems to be the same problem, and we haven't heard from the Instituto yet. In any case, the A.M.P.A. (Asociación de Madres y Padres de Alumnos, i.e. parents association) Gamero (that's its name) is protesting about the need to split a First Grade class to obtain the legal limit of 25, instead of the present 28, and the lack of a Special Needs support teacher. The association has given the school authorities until tomorrow, Friday, at 2pm to come up with a solution. If none is forthcoming, there will be a meeting at 6 to discuss further protest measures. The parents involved ask the rest of parents for their support.
