Future senior officials of the Generalitat must prove knowledge of the C1 Valencian language (equivalent to old mitjà), not B2 as has been the case so far, but if at least 7 is taken, the education system will be responsible for verifying this knowledge. On the subject of the Baccalaureate in the style of the Galician model. This is the main innovation of future decrees that both the Ministry of Interior and Public Duties and the Ministry of National Education are working on, which in practice means the removal of the dispute over the language requirement in accessing the public function that he has. seven years facing PSPV and Compromís.
As announced by Public Service and Education Ministers Gabriela Bravo and Raquel Tamarit respectively, the new language requirement will come into effect from public opposition in 2025 and will apply to all A1 and A2 group officials of the Generalitat Administration. Valencia, local governments, non-teaching staff from universities and public employees of consortia in the entire Valencia region have assured Tamarit as an exemption “residue” at this time, including in regions where there is a possibility to claim an exemption for Valencian language learning.
The new decree determines that subgroups A1 and A2 (the highest level of public service) will need a C1. Meanwhile, those in group B and C1 (medium-sized) will need B2 in Valencian and those in group C2 will need B1, as needed now. In both these cases, they are obtained through the education system.
Of course he wanted to make it clear that the C1 requirement (mitjà) would not be necessary for teachers or medical staff who are left out of this linguistic requirement as they have their own regulations. “In the healthcare field, we already have our own 2017 regulation that sees the Valencian language as a virtue,” Bravo said.
According to the detail provided, the required level of Valencian knowledge will change from 2025, but until then, a transitional period will continue, during which B2 requesters will continue to apply to senior civil servants.
While this requirement for access to public service is implemented, Education will also work on its own decree to enable the acquisition of the C1 qualification directly through the education system. Thus, students who complete ESO will receive a B1 level certificate, those who complete Baccalaureate B2, but they will need to get at least 7 grades in both Valencian courses to get C1 from the education system. Baccalaureate, so “no further examination is required” to apply for senior civil service positions, according to Bravo.
