The claim does not specify the time period over which the 70+ million euros is disbursed. Multiple sources indicate the figure corresponds to a multi-year educational concert renewal (until 2031), not an annual amount, which significantly changes the perception of the scale of funding.
The figure originates from a political complaint by Compromís and has been reported by media outlets, but no primary official source (such as a Generalitat Valenciana budget document or audit report) independently confirming the exact amount was found in the available searches.
The claim does not mention the number of schools involved (seven) or the mechanism (educational concert renewal), which are relevant contextual details.
