Mallorca: Palma protest may halt classes at nine schools

Mallorca’s capital, Palma: nine schools are weighing whether to suspend classes scheduled from 18:00 on Friday because of a planned Blocus protest at Plaza de España. The Balearic Islands Department of Education and Universities has asked their management teams to consider the move. The schools are all in the city centre, close to the square.

They are the Ramon Llull, Joan Alcover, Politècnic, Ses Estacions and Arxiduc institutes; CC Sant Felip Neri, CC Sant Francesc and CC Santíssima Trinitat; and the School of Art.

The department says the protest could cause traffic or safety problems near the schools. It describes its request as a precaution to protect pupils, teachers and other members of the school community.

The department says it has received no guidance or recommendation on what measures to take from the Government Delegation. Each school’s management team will decide whether its classes go ahead.
