The error in the process of assigning teachers in Catalonia was not computer or human, but it has indications of intervention of a person who may have made a «unilateral decision that contravenes the regulations and resolutions» of the department, according to the Minister of Education and Professional Training of the Generalitat, Esther Niubó.
In an interview this Saturday on «Catalunya ràdio» collected by Europa Press, Niubó indicated that the events are serious, as they question the reliability of the ministry and the transparency of the process: «We have opened an information file because we need to clarify the facts and purify all responsibilities.»
The minister estimated that 3,000 teachers will see their destination in the repetition of the allocation of positions, representing 5% of the 57,000 teacher candidates for the position, and said that they will «most likely improve their position.»
Furthermore, Niubó explained that they do not plan to delay the start of the school year: «We cannot allow this incident that we assume the department ends up generating greater damage to the entire educational system, students, families, and therefore we are not considering this modification.»
She will not appear on Tuesday, July 22 at 12 noon before the Education and FP Commission of the Parliament for the halt of the teaching awards, which will have to be repeated after incidents were detected in the process.
