The controversy surrounding the teaching of music at the Valencian Community institutes has responded, including the protest of teachers, at the Cortes today. The discussion came to the fore as a result of a question from the PP trustee. Maria José KatalaConsell chairman Ximo Puig asked “Will it solve the congressman’s problem (Rachel TamaritThe head of education) baccalaureate music”. Both the Generalitat president and the person in charge of that area of Government ensured that there will be no “regression” in music teaching at Valencia institutes, starting next academic year “all centers will have to offer this as a compulsory in the third year of ESO”.
Several music teachers attended the parliamentary session held today to protest the implementation of the current national law, LOMLOE, known as the Valencian Community’s Celaá law on music, into the education curriculum. Puig, who is also the leader of the PSPV, stressed that “no government of the Community has done more for music than this” and told the popular MP that he could rest easy: “We will always and in all circumstances guarantee that there should be no backsliding on this issue.”
Tamarit (Compromís) also warned the former Education Minister Catalá that “sleeping in parliament is a reason for resignation” because “the musical branch has not been eliminated from ESO or the Baccalaureate. On the contrary, the new royal decree of the Curriculum “includes music without subtracting hours from other artistic subjects in the third year.” impossible to continue”.
The solution we gave underlined that all centers should present music in the third year of ESO, with two hours a week to develop interdisciplinary projects where “music can be a common subject” and “more than one music project like Com”. end l’ESO”.
In addition, the new councilor stated that all institutes can offer music teaching “in any method of the baccalaureate”. He assured that there would be 32 artistic and natural Baccalaureate methods, among which 14 were “without any”.
“And next year, centers that want the Musical and Scenic Baccalaureate will be able to request it to expand the network,” he assured, insisting that “the artistic Baccalaureate is not taken from anyone here.”
After the plenary meeting, the PP’s trustees reiterated the complaints of the Record music to l’ESO platform and Warns 250 teachers will be ‘totally displaced’ according to the new regulations. Accusing the Minister of lying and starting the Education “badly”, he stressed that “Compulsory course is one thing, compulsory offer is another”.
Catalá therefore asked Consell to reconsider her position “out of the greatest consensus and respect for musicians”, because music is part of the Valencian DNA and “can be used to combat school failure”.
“Music is being treated badly in a way that has never been seen before in the country of musicians,” lamented Ricardo Sempere, representing the teachers attending the meeting. He assured Puig and the minister that the position was “absolutely wrong”, that there would be elections in 2023 and that “fate will put each one of them”, in addition to a “wordplay” between a mandatory subject and a mandatory proposal. one in his rightful place”
