Grades at Valencian institutes will stop moving from “inadequate” to “excellent” and will once again be on a scale of 1 to 10. This was stated by the Minister of Education, José Antonio Rovira, at a meeting in Las Corts to explain the lines of work of his department in the next four years.
The innovation will only affect institutes, not schoolsSince Lomloe requires the preservation of “inadequate” and “excellent” for the CEIP, but leaves the IES to choose autonomy. The current system for Rovira is as follows: “abstract” because “one is not the same as four (which are inadequate) and nine is not the same as ten (which is perfect in the current system). They will need to maintain individualized evaluation of each student even if grades change.
Rovira divided his 50-minute performance into three main areas of his ministry: Education, Universities and Employment. He started by defending himself against criticism about the allocation of teaching positions and poor school service. He blamed his predecessor for this. Raquel Tamarit said she “intended the course to start with problems.”
The Minister defended this Botany laid off 27 teaching positions (66 in the entire Generalitat) before PP came to the Ministry, “Positions with full responsibility for the allocation of teachers to avoid emerging problems.” According to Rovira, 9 of the 13 deputy general directors of National Education were dismissed “for political gain despite the denial of students’ right to education.”
Teaching awards
Delays and problems in rewarding 22,000 teachers – Some of which remained suspended until a few days before the course started – was one of the main criticisms of Rovira by both the opposition and teaching unions. He had time today to explain what happened.
According to Rovira, the allocation of vacancies is usually announced between July 27 and 31. However, this year there were only personnel lists without the work done. In addition (according to Rovira) it is added that the Ministry of National Education did not pass the temporary stabilization lists until last August 1. “It was financially impossible to have everything ready by the 3rd, even though half the charges had been dismissed and we were at home.”
The councilor arrives at Campanar headquarters. He encountered “three bombs”, “The first two are that there is no one and the lists arrive late, and the third is an old computer program.” Rovira talking about this program and There are constant “computer glitches” to justify the delay in awards. Today he explained that it was proposed to modernize this program in 2020 “but then Education did nothing.”
Rovira also explained that these awards were “unlike the previous ones” in that Conselleria had to carry out several completely new oppositions to stabilize more than 9,000 intermediates and change the composition of FP teachers with university degrees. Although previous Consell “testing” technicians recommended that this program worked well with these processes, this did not work either. “If Botànic had continued, he would have faced the same problems because he left nothing prepared.”
He told what happened last In the end, only 400 people out of a total of 22,000 were awarded.also that the centers started the course with 98% of the staff; “The normal thing at the beginning of the course is that there is always some error,” says Rovira.
school transportation
The second big fire that Rovira tried to extinguish There are constant delays and breakdowns in some school transportation in the province of Valencia. The alderman explained that although the transport unions were condemned for irregularities, Botánic approved the proposal and assured that “there can be no talk of non-compliance until the contract comes into force”. “What do we do now, ladies and gentlemen?” he blurted out towards Compromí’s bench.
Rovira, which had already sanctioned the bus company, apologized to the affected families and gave the following assurance: “We collect all data to reach final conclusions and solve the problem“Although he could not give an exact date for a solution to the families who protested at the apartment gate this morning.
Announcements and precautions in education
The councilor also discussed the “Botanical failure,” which involved cutting two hours of classes per week. At IES, English and mathematics supplementation has been replaced by training with adequate staff. Rovira explained that this would not mean “changing teachers’ working conditions”.
The head of the department defended an e.Public education is “quality, free from ideology”Safe classes for families where the freedom to choose a center and the mental health of students are taken into consideration.
Another announcement of the consultant was as follows: It will save the Music topic in ESO. Finally, after “increasing material costs and bureaucracy disrupting the work in the centers,” Edificant announced that it would audit whether its plan was working correctly.
Rovira also aims to modernize classrooms in Valencia (which is at the back end of the country in technology) and announced that 8,200 digital classrooms would be created for this purpose, 60,000 computer equipment would be purchased for primary schools, and a new website called Family 3.0 would be opened. An easier and more intuitive way.
Funding for universities
buy one Multi-Annual Financing Plan for public universities was another of the minister’s commitments for this legislature. This is a major problem for campuses, whose accounts have been frozen since 2009, paralyzing new classrooms, courses, or much-needed renovations to those centers.
Rovira has already provided €1,031 million to universities (0.9% of regional GDP) and assured that he would seek the funds he needed from the GovernmentIt should contribute to achieving the 1% of GDP called for by the new university law (LOSU).
Finally announced a grant to aid research and transfer, and design a science plan between universities and organizations such as CSIC. According to Rovira, all this would be provided by European funds, which the previous Consell had not requested.
Improve employment
The last issue Rovira discussed was employment, and he criticized Botánic for “improvising” We dealt with this issue in a way that left the Valencian Employment Service “disoriented”, without a good diagnosis of the needs of the Valencian labor market.
announced 95 more consultants will be hired until we reach 280 He also announced a plan to fill 20,000 jobs needed by companies to help the unemployed find job opportunities. It will also create an “employment map” that identifies workforce needs in each region of the Valencian Community and invests in training worth investing in.
Finally Expressed concern about the high number of occupational accidents in the Valencian CommunityHe announced that he would strengthen Labor Inspection, ranked fourth in the state, and strengthen prevention campaigns.
