Alejandra Angulo Alonso is joined by Cristina Tomàs White and Gerard Escaich Folch to discuss the new changes and take a look at the future challenges of the Catalan education system. We visit a local school and speak with teachers and parents about what’s new this academic year. 

This week's Catalan phrase is 'Tenir més paciència que un mestre d'escola,' which means 

'To be more patient than a school teacher'
