Andalusia puts limits to the degree in ESO with suspensions

• Education Andalusia will not appeal the elimination of extraordinary ESO tests

• Education Students will be able to graduate without having all the subjects passed

The ESO title will be awarded in Andalusia to failed students provided they have passed at least

of the subjects in which they are enrolled. The Ministry of Education has issued instructions directed to the institutes to somehow delimit the wide margin of maneuver that the Ministry of Education leaves to the centers when it comes to starting Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO), which had caused concern among teachers due to the legal uncertainty that it could generate.

It should be remembered that the

has considerably lowered the bar for the promotion of students and obtaining the title, so that there is no longer a maximum number of failures to graduate as established in the

, approved in the Council of Ministers on November 16. The decree establishes that "the students will promote the course when the teaching team considers that

allows them to successfully continue the following year and it is estimated that they have favorable recovery expectations and that said promotion will benefit their academic evolution. "However, it does not categorize the subjects and, therefore, the interpretation of the expression" the nature of the subjects "It is at the discretion of the educational teams.

The Ministry of Education considers that the absence of objective criteria can cause helplessness in the teaching teams in case of

.

That is why it was proposed to establish common guidelines so that both teachers and families have the confidence that there will be no difference in treatment depending on the center.

Hence, although there is no maximum number of failures that represents a barrier to obtaining the degree, the Ministry of Education has set a common goal, which is to

of the subjects in which the student is enrolled.

Likewise, for the

is established that the subjects not passed are not more than two trunks and that the rest of the subjects not passed represent no more than 50% of the total workload of the subjects in which the student is enrolled.

In addition, given that the Ministry ruled that the decision to promote (move on to the course) to a student and to grant the title must be adopted

by the teaching team,

has established reinforced majorities of

in decision-making in the event that consensus is not possible.

The Union of Education Inspectors (USIE) doubts that the instructions sent by the Ministry of Education to the centers have the

category

that requires the modification of the qualification conditions provided by the Ministry of Education. The instructions, they warn, are a tool in the hands of the administration to order

but cannot regulate rights that affect third parties, in this case, the students. In any case, the union does agree that the Royal Decree approved by the Ministry leaves so much room for maneuver for educational teams that it is a breeding ground for each community or each center to establish its own criteria and, therefore,

in an aspect as relevant as evaluation.

The Ministry of Education also opposed the elimination of the ESO make-up tests for this course.

However, it has decided not to appeal the decree of the Ministry in this regard so as not to generate more confusion and uncertainty in the operation of the centers, which had made their schedules in the belief that there would be a one-year moratorium, as had been promised government.

Andalusia had requested this moratorium because, in its judgment, it does not make sense to apply the new LOMLOE evaluation system from this course, despite the fact that the curricula for that educational reform will not come into effect until the next course.

The Ministry "intends to apply

(the previous educational law), and it does so, in addition, "by changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game", since the educational community had a year of transition, The counselor, Javier Imbroda, complained a few weeks ago, despite the fact that he did not want to take his disagreement further.
