The right to education as a reunion and struggle in Ceuta after a summer of restrictions

Returning to the classroom in September could seem like hell. After a long summer of enjoyment and freedom, it was time to return to normality again; returning to school and to classes that, depending on the teacher and the subject, could take forever. There was something positive about that start to September, the reunion with friends, which made up for everything.

But what I'm sure no child perceived is that, with that return to school, they were actually exercising a right. In Ceuta, many minors will not be able to exercise that right this week, and they are coming from a summer full of punishments. They have not been able to go to a beach that is minutes from home or to the pool or parks. They haven't even been able to enjoy the streets. In the complex strategic game that Morocco and Spain are playing, there are many losers. The little ones are among them.
