The Student Union has summoned a strike for next October 11 as a protest against the “silence” of the Ministry of Education after having requested that the new model of the University Entrance Test (PAU) be immediately published. The new rules for this exam were approved last June by the Council of Ministers.
In addition, they call on all ESO, Baccalaureate and FP students to miss class on October 11 in a show of “solidarity with their colleagues from Murcia”: the students of this region demonstrated last Friday for this demand and they suffereda brutal police repression” by the riot police.
- As we told you in Newtral.es, the police charged the protesters and used projection cartridges to fire projectile-less shots as “salutes” a few meters from the protesters. These shots are used as a deterrent to make noise, according to experts, although they recognize that they can cause harm in some cases.
Student strike and demonstrations. The Student Union criticizes the “intolerable silence” of the Ministry of Education, since high school students know “nothing” about what the new PAU is going to be like. “The only information we have is that the exams will be held on June 3, 4 and 5. That’s it. This is all,” they say in the statement.
- “Instead of presenting the changes and new features before starting the course, allowing our teachers to prepare the academic content well and guaranteeing that students have the facility to prepare for this test, we find that at the beginning of October we still don’t know anything,” he said. complain from the union.
That is why they are calling on all students to go on strike, not to go to class for the entire school day on October 11. They encourage that at 12:00 p.m. this Friday, actions will be carried out in all institutes and rallies will be held at the doors of the education delegations of each regional ministry.
New University Access Test. The details known about the PAU 2025 are: a single model for each subject (until now there were two), new correction criteria based on coherence, cohesion and spelling of the answers that require text and the possibility of taking an exam in up to four subjects to raise grade (until now there were only two), one of them a second foreign language.
