About 20,000 schools were built this year compulsory education, leave the cotton of kindergarten to mingle with the elderly, in which no doubt will become overcome fears after the first day. Something similar will happen to those responsible for the Department of Education. Not surprisingly, the socialists will play in the minor leagues of the opposition to face its first full school year from the responsibility of government. And a priori, the task is not simple because the pact provides for the change that allowed the inauguration of Patxi Lopez upset, in all likelihood, the roadmap that would guide the Basque school years to come.
Before summer, the Minister Isabel Celaá announced the outlines of its action against the Department of Education. However, missing few days to fill new classrooms and no one knows yet how these changes will result. Only trilingualism is the goal of the new counselor, who this year admitted implement English immersion for students in Primary 6. But there are many fronts without specifying: the controversial revision of the Basque curriculum, the reform of the linguistic models, the incorporation of laptops in education, strengthening of Euskera in the Model A. .. And if this is added the flu, makes the academic year 2009-2010 is the most uncertain of the last decade.
CURRICULUM BASQUE
Euskera longer Euskal Herria main books remain in
The first decision of the Department of Education has not been other than to get their hands on the Basque curriculum, the cornerstone of the education system. This determination is part of the repertoire of government measures Lopez pulling symbolism and who have no background that the dress that Euskadi change. And is that the repeal of the character "main" as the language of Euskera in schools has no practical effect, attempting to move beyond the Company that the Executive Ibarretxe "imposed" Euskera and nested the two languages official Castilian relegating to a marginal situation. Recently published in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country removing the word "principal" of the decree in high school, as happened with the Early Years. What, you ask? Many after months of political tide. Y. .. nothing. Both the Euskera and Castilian languages \u200b\u200bvehicle remain. They were before deleting the term "principal" and will remain so in the future.
Another aspect in this review of the curriculum is the use of the term Euskal Herria. These days, education is finalizing the drafting of new decrees of Children, Basic and Secondary Education, to get a CV clean of any nationalist reminiscence as they have been repeating over machacamartillo the last legislature. Again, the Socialists, with the wholehearted support of its "preferred partner" have embarked on a purge of the text to, say, limiting the meaning of the term to "cultural and linguistic reality" as they say also, the previous government would have given the word damn the meaning of "legal-administrative reality." Clearly, the aforementioned have denied it and argue that does not change, as their use conforms to the statutory definition. So over this summer fray, which has received even with the intervention of UPN to echar más leña al fuego, la consejera ha tenido que rebajar considerablemente el alcance de la pretendida operación de adoctrinamiento. Así, Celaá no sólo reconoció la existencia de Euskal Herria sino que redujo el supuesto uso incorrecto del término al prólogo del texto. Pues bien, en el preámbulo del Currículum aparecen citados los términos Comunidad Autónoma Vasca, comunidad autónoma y Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi tres veces, Euskadi una y Euskal Herria otras tres, y ninguna como una "realidad jurídico-administrativa".
La primera y la segunda de las alusiones definen Euskal Herria como "el ámbito territorial referido al conjunto de Álava, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Lapurdi, Nafarroa Behera, Garaiak Navarre and Soule. "And the third says" ... special mention should be the treatment of basic skills, including those relating to language and cultural heritage of Euskal Herria. "You be the judge.
Y the last of the amendments will "flex" the exemption of Euskera study for residents in Euskadi, 8,000 children, mostly foreigners and children of officials.
language issue "Multilingualism or trilingual?
Celaá
The arrival of the portfolio of Education reposition the language question in the core of course, and the legislature. Concepts like "inclusive bilingualism" and "trilingual" start ringing insistently, giving clues of where education can go. With the reform of the linguistic models of Tontxu Campos (EA) off-stage, time to build from scratch a new framework to overcome the limitations of the current model does not guarantee real bilingualism. The Minister is committed to present during the first quarter of 2010 its proposal that will pivot in "vehicular use of the two official languages", "respect for freedom of choice of language 'families and the introduction of a third language. And while the time arrives, this course is to strengthen the presence of Euskera in model A (in Castilian). Little or nothing is known about how to articulate this measure beyond what was announced in Parliament by the very Celaá. Euskera be introduced in some subjects such as vehicular trunks not will change the teaching methodology and will be encouraged barnetegis. But the Department of Education has so far avoided giving any details of how to translate the words of the minister for schools providing model A, if the teacher is ready or if it's just true that you will make.
What we are going to do, plus unannounced are English boarding. As anticipated this newspaper a week ago, students from Primary 6 will attend classes five days of immersion in English during the course to improve fluency. The kids will come to a kind of English barnetegi in which native instructors will conduct a series of playful workshops through which will be familiar with the language in a different context to the classroom. The Department of Education devoted to this innovative program a batch of 700,000 euros. LAPTOPS
Schoolchildren Primary 5 will start without computers
But without doubt, one of the major developments This course is the incorporation of information technologies (ICT) in education. In the wake of the state plan School 2.0, Education distributed among students in Primary 5 20,000 312 centers laptops. However, students should begin without them because they have not yet acquired the equipment. This program provides for transforming the next four years in traditional classrooms in grades 5 and Primary 6 and 1 and 2 of secondary classrooms equipped with digital whiteboards and wireless Internet. Despite the potential of the measure, has not aroused much enthusiasm among professionals who are forced to adapt its methodology teaching and incorporate the use of ICT in their classes. Be invested eleven million euros.
BACHELOR
Students of 1 may be repeated only 3 or 4 classes suspended
This is the first course in which students first high school with three or four suspended may choose to repeat the course or enroll only those subjects and also study other subjects voluntarily center address will recommend in light of the existing organizer. The choice of one of these possibilities will be the student if over age or not, depends on the family. Thus
Education abides by the Supreme Court ruling issued last March that overturned the regulation that allowed freshmen with three or four repeat suspended totally or register for the pending matters and another two or three seconds. The voided provision violated the Education Law to create a mode of study Baccalaureate (individual subjects of the first and second) that was not preset in the LOE. The rule says the first students promoted to second when the subjects studied have passed or are negative in more than two.
is not known whether the measure would help reduce the number of repeaters, a chapter in which Euskadi improves the outlook for other regions. According to the Basque Institute for Educational Research Evaluation and Non-University (ISEI-IVEI), in high school the percentage of repeaters in second (11.4%) is twice that in the first (5.3%).
The ISEI-IVEI that data points to ascertain the quality of the system is the percentage of students who complete the Post-compulsory Secondary expectancy age. According to the report Education at a Glance 2006, during the 2003-2004 school year only 66% of students in the English State that initiated the training period completed the Bachillerato or medium-level vocational training in the proper age, compared to 81 % of country average as part of the OECD. In Euskadi, 79.4% of students enrolled in the course of its share of age completed the Post-compulsory secondary. NEW SELECTIVITY
Access to college will be easier to upload a test shout
And this course also opens up examinations selectivity note and oral English from next year. The new entrance to the university is divided into two phases, which increase the options of choice for students, and evaluates the areas in which stand out. In the general phase, as in the present selectivity, should be examined for common subjects and one elective. Specific phase permitirá a los alumnos que quieran acceder a las facultades que hayan limitado el número de plazas mejorar la nota de acceso a la universidad. En esta fase voluntaria de la nueva selectividad los alumnos se examinarán de otras asignaturas de modalidades diferentes a la elegida en la fase general, aunque no las haya cursado en el Bachillerato, pero que estén asociadas a la rama del Grado universitario que quiere estudiar.
