What changed
This law establishes families' right to freely choose their children's school in the Valencian Community, including state-funded private (concertado) and private schools. It modifies the language policy in schools, allowing parents to request that their children be taught primarily in Spanish (Castilian) rather than under the previous Valencian-immersion model. New admission and funding criteria for state-subsidised schools are also introduced.
Who is affected
It affects all families with school-age children in the Valencian Community, as well as public, concertado, and private schools and their teaching staff.
What to look out for
→ Families should review the schooling options available in their area and, if desired, apply for a place at their preferred school under the new admission criteria. To exercise language preferences, contact the school directly to find out how to submit a request.
