Un proyecto educativo del PP propone un MIR docente y tres años de Bachillerato
A group of experts commissioned by Spain’s People’s Party (PP) drafted an alternative education law in 2020, when Pablo Casado led the party.
The proposal was meant to accompany the PP’s opposition to the education law promoted by the Socialist-led government, but the party did not present it.
The draft, named for the late PP education politician Eugenio Nasarre, is now due to be published as a book by its authors.
It calls for education focused on responsibility, merit and effort, and proposes changes including a teacher-training system modeled on medical residency and three years of Bachillerato, Spain’s upper secondary stage.
The authors have added proposals to address changes since 2020, including the growth of online learning and artificial intelligence and shifts in student demographics.
They have sent the text to PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whose party says it would seek a broad agreement with the education community and replace the current law if it came to power.
The PP says it plans to begin meetings with teachers, families, specialists and experts in October.
A draft education law prepared for Spain’s People’s Party proposes a teacher residency system known as a MIR and three years of Bachillerato.
The proposal was written in 2020 but was not published by the party at the time.
Its authors are now publishing the text as a book to contribute to pre-election debate and honour the late Eugenio Nasarre.
The draft says education should promote responsibility, merit and effort, alongside equal opportunity, immigrant integration and family choice.
The PP says it plans to repeal current curricula and develop a new education law if it forms a government.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Giving publicity to this collective work seemed to us a moral obligation to make Eugenio’s thinking a reality.
The text contributes, of course, especially considering the privileged minds that wrote it.
If they do not publish it, we will.
The Government of Feijóo will become an arbiter of the educational community and, when the new text becomes a reality, we will repeal the Lomloe.
