The Fortune the Government Gives to Separate Students Based on Their Opinion About Franco

Sánchez's Government Continues to Obsess Over Franco. Through the subjects of Geography and History, History of Spain, and Education in Civic and Ethical Values, the Government supposedly proposes a series of activities.

More specifically, various learning activities are incorporated. The materials created include the logo of the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory. Additionally, they are framed within a governmental effort to raise awareness and educate in the field of historical memory.

This is confirmed by Okdiario. In the subject of History of Spain for the second year of high school, an activity called Values Barometer is proposed. There, students are grouped according to their opinions on Franco and the dictatorship.

For this, according to the mentioned media, the Executive supposedly allocated an amount of 92,075 euros. Along with this, supposedly, the Government will allocate 164,965 euros in the next two years for various actions, including the analysis of the Francoist educational system. This is reported by the mentioned newspaper.

Classes on Francoism

The objective of this dynamic is to evaluate the "knowledge and perceptions" of the students about the events of the Civil War and Francoism.

In this activity, the teacher proposes a debate in which students must take not only an ideological stance but also a physical one. For this, the classroom is divided into two sections.

At each end, large posters are placed, one with the word "yes" and the other with "no." Between both posters, a line is marked on the floor with masking tape that divides the space into two equal halves. The students must initially position themselves in the center of the classroom.

Next, the teacher will read a series of statements about the topic being covered in the teaching unit. They will be categorical statements, not questions. The students will position themselves according to their degree of agreement or disagreement with each statement.

If they agree, they will stand near the "yes" poster, and if they disagree, near the "no" poster. Additionally, the proximity to the central line will depend on how strongly they agree or disagree with what is said.

Once everyone is in place, they will be asked to alternately explain the reasons behind their choice of location.

All according to what the mentioned media has explained.
