without limit of suspensions.

With the votes in favor of the PSOE, United We Can, PNV, PdeCAT and ERC and the rejection of the PP, Citizens, Vox and UPN, the royal decree has come forward amidst a great controversy in the educational community.

The majority of the Chamber has considered that the Covid has made it necessary to adapt the curricula because it will not give time to study all the topics and, therefore, it is also necessary to "make more flexible" the requirements for evaluation, qualification and promotion of Primary, Secondary and FP, as defended by the Socialist Group Education spokesperson,

The socialist deputy has presented her measures in opposition to the "archaic and stale model, of a regression to past times, with a great burden of duties, with barriers, punishments and revalidations" that, in her opinion, exemplifies the

.

Celaá has assured, for its part, that "affirming that it will be able to graduate with failures is false", although the BOE indicates that the degree decision "will not be subject to the non-existence of subjects without passing for access to both degrees."

The minister has also defended that the measures, which will be in force until "the authorities determine that the extraordinary circumstances derived from the pandemic have ceased to occur", have been adopted in a consensual manner with the CCAA, an aspect that has been denied by the deputies

because "it will deteriorate the quality of teaching" and "violates the principle of equal opportunities for students" , since "students will be treated differently, depending on the Autonomous Community in which they study".

There is also the fear that "legal uncertainty and normative confusion" will be generated because clear requirements are not established to pass and pass the course and this gives rise to the decisions of the teachers being challenged.

The deputies of PP, Citizens and Vox have considered that the norm is "sectarian" and supposes "a punishment to the work and the culture of the effort".

They have warned that "it will promote inequality" by not setting common criteria and letting the autonomous communities be the ones to decide how to pass the course.

And they have considered that it will allow the ideological manipulation of young people, by depriving them of the possibility of deepening their studies.

"They are not satisfied with controlling the CGPJ, the CIS, the CNI or RTVE, but they want to create a docile and uncritical social mass that does not value or analyze and that lets them do it. A bad education is the best tool to achieve it," he has snapped Clavell.

In the same vein,

(Vox) has reproached the coalition government for wanting to turn students into "ignorant" and "manipulable" people.

Martín recalled that the text "lowers the level of demand" for both students and teachers, since it authorizes the hiring of teachers who have not completed the master's degree if there are not enough applicants for the position on the interim list, a measure that has also received criticism from universities.

not apply the measure either because they do not consider that "the circumstances exist to apply extraordinary measures in terms of evaluation", since the students are going to school on a regular basis, and because it generates a lack of "homogenization" in the educational system.

The text has come forward with the reluctant votes of Catalan and Basque nationalists, who have not wanted to miss the opportunity to point out that it is not the norm they would have liked the most, but recognize that the educational system has to take temporary measures while follow the pandemic situation.
