In this episode, we bring to you a new miniseries. Host Federico Waitoller takes listeners on a journey to the Basque Country in Spain, where an initiative aimed at combating school segregation has been set into motion. The miniseries delves into the legislative efforts undertaken by local activists Sabin and Gonzalo to bring ethnic and class segregation into the public debate. Experts discuss the historical context of Spain's dual education system, born out of the Franco regime, and how public and publicly funded private schools coexist. This episode sets the stage for understanding a complex issue with modern implications.
