CONCAPA presents ten educational principles for the 2026 general elections

The Confederación Nacional Católica de Padres de Familia y Padres de Alumnos (CONCAPA) has presented a ten-point educational document addressed to political parties ahead of the 2026 general elections. The organization, which represents approximately 3.5 million families in Spain, seeks to protect the constitutional freedom of teaching and keep classrooms separate from ideological changes.

The confederation calls for a long-term Pacto de Estado por la Educación to end frequent legislative reforms. This agreement should focus on equity, quality, and stable funding while recognizing parents as the primary educators of their children.

CONCAPA also requests that the Presupuestos Generales del Estado protect educational resources through a multi-year plan. This includes updating funding modules for subsidized schools to cover the actual cost of each school place. The organization also requests funding for digitalization and infrastructure for both public and subsidized schools. Finally, the document advocates for the concept of "Centros Sostenidos con Fondos Públicos" to ensure families can choose between public and subsidized school networks.
