School Committee for the Balearic Islands

The Consejo Escolar de las Illes Balears was officially formed in a ceremony in the Chapel at the Consolat de la Mar, with the presence of the president of the Govern de les Illes Balears, Francesc Antich, and the Councillor for Education and Culture, Damià Pons.

The Consejo Escolar de les Illes Balears is comprised of representatives of teachers, parents, pupils, businesses, unions, administration and the university, with a possible total of 51 members.

Although there is a law for School Committees, from 1998 promoted by the previous executive, this new organisation had not been constituted. The present Balearic Government modified the previous legislation by the new Law for School Committees on December 13, 2000 in which the obligation to constitute a School Committee of the Balearics was decided to take place within three months as from the validity of the law, and six months to constitute the insular school committees and municipal school committees.
