Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona

The Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona is the public body responsible for managing education within the city of Barcelona. It plays a crucial role in shaping the educational environment for students. Recently, the Consorci has been highlighted for its 'Pla de Millora del Temps Educatiu al Migdia' (Improvement Plan for Midday Educational Time). This initiative aims to enhance school canteens, making them more comfortable, inclusive, and sustainable, recognizing the midday meal as a significant part of the educational day. This plan is part of a broader effort to improve school infrastructure, with planned actions in 12 more schools in 2026, following improvements in 11 others in 2025. While the Consorci focuses on infrastructure and educational time, it also faces challenges related to student safety and well-being, as indicated by a case where a student victim of alleged sexual assault has been absent from school for over two months, with reported offers of classroom changes or transfers as solutions. This situation underscores the ongoing need for the Consorci to address not only physical spaces but also the critical issue of student safety and support within its educational institutions.
