Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona

What Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona does

Consorci d'Educació de Barcelona is a public consortium jointly established by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government) and the Ajuntament de Barcelona (Barcelona City Council) to manage public education services across the city of Barcelona. It is not a commercial entity and does not generate revenue; it is funded entirely through public budgets allocated by its two founding administrations. The consortium coordinates the city's public education ecosystem, overseeing approximately 300 public educational centers — including nursery schools (0-3 years), primary and secondary schools, vocational training centers, 25 adult education centers (CFA), and 6 official language schools (EOI) offering instruction in 15 languages — and administers pre-registration, school assignment, complaints/appeals, and specialized support services such as CREDA (hearing impairment), CRETDIC (developmental and behavioral disorders), and SEEM (motor disabilities). It also manages subsidies including school meal assistance and the Pla de Xoc against school segregation.

The consortium's service portfolio spans the full educational lifecycle, from early childhood through adult learning, plus teacher professional development through programs like Xarxes Docents (reaching 84 school faculties in its first edition) and the Convocatòria Unificada de Programes (110 proposals for student competencies and teacher training). Distribution is delivered through a multi-channel model combining the online pre-registration portal (preinscripcio.gencat.cat), seven physical district offices across Barcelona (Ciutat Vella, Eixample, Gràcia-Horta, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu, Sant Martí, Sants-Montjuïc), the Office of Access to Vocational Training on Carrer Rosselló 87-89, and the network of educational centers themselves. The organization employs approximately 468 staff and runs an annual €64.4 million capital investment program to upgrade equipment across 104 educational centers, with active construction of new facilities including Institut Escola Cal Maiol and Institut Escola Mallorca. It holds delegated governmental authority for school enrollment management under Catalan education regulation and is GDPR-compliant in its handling of citizen data.
