PROPOSAL FOR THE ALLOCATION OF PLACES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION WITH PROXIMITY AND SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA

Mobility in commuting from home to work and from work to home by private vehicle generates major traffic jams and is one of the major factors contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.

We think that the reduction of a large part of these polluting inputs is necessary, essential for the future of life on the planet. And in our sector it is possible.

With the aim of reducing pollution, the carbon footprint, the pollutant emissions during work journeys from home to work, achieve a supportive planet, sustainable and comply with the Sustainable Development Goals, we propose:

The rationalization of the distribution of the workers of the Generalitat de Catalunya in public children's education, primary, compulsory secondary and high school, taking as a structural criterion the proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.

It is quite common for a primary education teacher resident in Barcelona to commute to Canovelles every day to work, vice versa. And so for all the studies mentioned above. The teaching staff of the Generalitat amounts to more than 80.000 people. The impact of their daily mobility is not residual.

The approximation of distances between places of residence and work also improves the reconciliation of work and family life, the care spaces, saves time, life quality, well-being and health among workers.

We raise these groups of female workers mainly because they are the most abundant and widespread (including secondary education specialties) and more easily interchangeable with mobility criteria.

However, we consider that this should be a structural criterion of all Public Administrations in the allocation of places and competition for transfers.

That this same should be the line of action of the Department of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia in more specialized studies, as much as possible.

WE PROPOSE:

That transfer competitions be called, offering in a pedagogical way, trunk and priority the practical possibility of bringing the place of work closer to the place of residence.

The allocation of places is the result of a public competition using as a priority the criterion of proximity between the place of residence and the place of work.
