Mallorca nurseries warn funding plan risks their future
Mallorca’s publicly funded nurseries face a funding dispute: their sector group says a new proposal would leave them with less money and put their future at risk. In Palma, Mallorca, on 13 November, Education and Universities Minister Antoni Vera rejects the warning. He says the proposal is no lower than the current funding rate, but distributes the money differently.
The warning comes from Feipimeb, Pimem’s early-years education branch. It says the nurseries’ total funding would fall and some could struggle to continue.
Vera says a study by his department shows the proposal is workable. He says it would allow the nurseries to keep educating children and supporting families, while protecting and improving pay for staff working with children aged 0 to 3.
