Departament de Educació y FP

The Departament de Educació y FP is the department of the Catalan government responsible for education and vocational training in Catalonia, Spain. Recent news highlights its engagement in shaping educational policy and managing student financial aid. Currently, the department is involved in a dispute with teachers and unions regarding an educational agreement, leading to a communication campaign targeting families. The department sent letters to families detailing progress in education after the return from holidays, aiming to gain their support. Additionally, the department is now managing the application process for grants for post-compulsory education for the 2026-2027 academic year, covering studies like Bachillerato, vocational training, arts, sports, languages, and university degrees. This marks the first time the Generalitat (Catalan government) is directly managing these grants.
