What's in a Name?

The Ministry of Education, Research, Culture and Sports, has instructed 13 schools in the Valencian Community to change their names, thus fulfilling the Law of Historical Memory. In the Vega Baja they include Villar Palasí de Orihuela and Primo de Rivera de Callosa de Segura. Compromís Orihuela has seized on the situation, calling it an opportunity to take a massive step forward in regard to equality in the municipality, since of 32 public schools and 10 private colleges in the municipality, “none is named after a woman, despite there being plenty of females who have excelled in science, education and culture,” according to the coalition secretary, Martin Borislavov. “It is for this reason that we have presented a list with several names of female figures who have had a great influence at municipal or national level. We take this opportunity to leave behind a past linked to a dictatorship as we now call for citizens to value the women who have built our society and our democracy”, said Iratxe Torres, spokeswoman for the youth of Iniciativa-Compromís in the province of Alicante. The list of names presented by Compromís Orihuela for the name change of the public school Villar Palasí includes the wife of Miguel Hernández, Josefina Manresa, Politician, Clara Campoamor, lawyer, Victoria Kent, artist, Maruja Mallo, scientist, Margarita Salas, Olympic gymnast, Carolina Pascual, philosopher, María Zambrano, author and feminist, Concepción Arenal, María Elena Maseras, who was the first woman to enter university in Spain, journalist Carmen de Burgos and educator, Rosa Sensat. Compromís also recalled that in 2015 the party presented a motion to appraise the Equality Plan, but the Popular Party have done nothing about it. “Now we give them the opportunity to start by taking advantage of the name change of the Villar Palasí school to that of a woman, the first one dedicated to a female figure highlighted by her achievements," said the secretary. Iratxe Torres stressed that "we also urge the City of Orihuela to conduct a study of streets that may be changed to those of female figures in the future, which will serve to promote the feminisation of urbanism ".

Franco references must be removed from schools has been published at http://www.theleader.info/2017/12/07/franco-references-must-removed-schools/

Franco references must be removed from schools

The PSPV_PSOE has demanded that all schools bearing names that relate to the Franco regime be changed. The Socialist spokesperson of Education in the Valencian Corts, Ana Besalduch, has proposed the elimination of "any reference that extols the Francoism" that is currently contained in the name of any Valencian educational centre. She said in a statement, "there are still a dozen schools or institutes that have retained the name of José Luis Villar, a Valencian minister during the dictatorship, General Urrutia, who was one of the insurgents that fought with Franco in 1936 and who was subsequently named Captain General of Valencia, and Primo de Rivera, founder of the Spanish Falange movement". Besalduch said that these names "contravene the Law of Historical Memory of 2007" so she is insisting that they be changed. She also lamented that after 39 years of democracy "there are still public acclamations to the period of the Franco dictatorship." Currently there are seven educational centres that are named after the Francoist minister, Villar Palasí, in València, Sagunto, Quart de Poblet, Paterna, Xirivella, Burjassot and Orihuela; two that bear the name of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, in Crevillent and Callosa de Segura, and one in Valencia with the name of General Urrutia. "One of the greatest honours that a person can have is to have a public school, institute or university bearing his or her name, because they are places that help children to develop and to train for the future". However, she maintains that "it is not admissible that in the Comunitat, there are a number of educational centres that still exist that are named after people who had questionable behaviour". She said that "it is not ethical", and "article 15 of the law 52/2007, expressly prohibits it". As such the Community must take appropriate measures for the removal of shields, badges, plaques and other objects or commemorative items of acclamation, personal or collective, of the Civil War and the repression of the dictatorship
