Ayuso proposes to the Government a unique Selectivity for those who study in their region and a regional one for those who stay

• Government Education initiates a 'road show' throughout Spain to achieve a pact in Selectivity

• Education The new Selectivity will have common correction criteria in all the autonomies

The

has proposed to the Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, a Solomonic alternative to try to reach an agreement on the design of the new Selectivity.

It proposes a double access route with two different exam models: a single test in the case of students who want to study at a university outside their region and a regional test for those who want to stay to study in their autonomous community. .

This is how it appears in a document of allegations, to which

has had access , where

defends that its approach, which would be applied throughout Spain, "conjugates the principle of autonomy of universities and the powers of each autonomous community with the principle of fairness and equal opportunities.

The Ministry of Education has begun a consultation period with all the autonomies to try to reach an agreement on the new royal decree on access to university, which it wants to have approved by next spring.

Some regions, such as Madrid, have already sent their contributions to the text, something that the

(Crue) has also done.

The regions governed by the PP (Madrid,

) denounce that the draft that Alegría presented last June is still “unfair”.

Why?

Because, although he seeks to agree on common criteria for preparation and correction, there will continue to be 17 different Evau exams (as it is called in Madrid) or Ebau (it is the name given in other communities).

And that, in the current context of a single district, where the grade that a student gets in an autonomous community is used to study anywhere in Spain, can lead to arbitrariness, since future university students will have to "compete for the same places with different access tests».

Madrid believes that the model on which the Ministry works "is flawed in its origin, since it does not solve the fundamental problem, which is the inequality of students."

The Madrid proposal recalls "the disparity in the results that, year after year, has been observed and that generates a feeling of inequity in thousands of students who verify how the clear differences in the tests that are applied in each autonomous community translate into a handicap for admission to university degrees applied for.

Only last year, the

(CIAU) of the Community of Madrid received a total of 2,000 complaints from families related to these differences and the national Evau, which account for 25% of the 8,000 emails emails, calls and face-to-face appointments attended.

That is why Ayuso does not give up on continuing to demand a single test in all of Spain, in line with that revalidation of Baccalaureate that José Ignacio Wert introduced in the Lomce but that never got underway because his successor, Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, left it in suspense to try to negotiate a state pact from which the PSOE ended up getting off the hook.

Of course, Madrid is now open to accepting a regional test, in line with the one proposed by the Government, which would only allow access and admission to the universities of the student's autonomous community of origin.

In other words, if the student takes this exam in

, her grade would only be used for the campuses in Andalusia, but not for studying in Castilla y León.

This would force the student to have to choose in advance between one model or another.

But what if you're not sure whether you're going to stay home or move out of your region, a decision heavily influenced by your exam grade?

Sources from the Madrid Government respond that, in that case, they could choose the single test, which would be approved in all universities in Spain.

25% of university complaints from families deal with territorial differences

The same sources explain that this alternative has been proposed by the Madrid Executive in the face of "the resounding refusal of the Government of Spain to study any way of preparing a single university access test."

In the last

, the representatives of the Ministry said that it was not possible to carry out the same exam with the same questions and on the same day throughout Spain.

Alegría's team argues that this possibility is not feasible from a legal point of view, since "it would invade regional and university powers."

They do not see it that way in the PP regions: they wield the precedent of Wert's revalidation and maintain, citing articles 149.1.30 and 27 of the

, that "without prejudice to the legitimate powers of the autonomous communities, the State has sufficient powers to guarantee a globally coherent educational system and to guarantee the substantial equality of all Spaniards in matters of education."

Madrid wants to make this double track in the Evau its main educational battle.

That is why he will ask Alegría to be included in the agenda of the next Education Sector Conference, to be held on November 2, with the purpose of "debating and analyzing the possibility of reorienting the existing draft."

In its allegations, Madrid also calls on the Government to reformulate the new "student maturity exercise (EXMA)" so that, instead of a single exam in which all language skills are brought together, there are separate tests for the different subjects, as it happens now.

«A single exercise of maturity that covers several subjects loses objectivity with respect to the evaluation.

And the academic maturity of the students can be perfectly verified through exercises in each subject”, defends the Community of Madrid.
