Nursery strike on the Balearic Islands: Postponed, but the anger remains

Answer

Why are nursery group sizes such a big issue in Mallorca?

Smaller groups matter because they affect the quality of care, the workload of staff and the daily experience of children. In Mallorca, educators say overcrowded groups make it difficult to give enough attention to each child. The issue also connects to staffing levels, sick leave cover and the time needed for preparation and follow-up work.
