LOGROÑO, June 3 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Vice-Minister of Universities of the Government of La Rioja, Miguel Ángel Fernández, has today advocated moving towards “common criteria” to “avoid differences” in the Baccalaureate Assessment for University Access (EBAU) in Spain.
Coinciding with the first day of the EBAU in La Rioja, Fernández, in response to questions from the media, and in line with the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, pointed out that “there are significant differences between autonomous communities in the average grades of the EBAU and also in the percentage of outstanding students.
“That,” he pointed out, “conditions, because we know that in certain careers where demand is very high” the grade “conditions access a lot,” given that “Spain is a unique district.”
He has understood that “in a single district there must be a test that is as equal as possible and in which the differences between autonomous communities are reduced.”
In this way, it has opted for move “towards a test that generates the least differences due to the fact of having taken the test in one autonomous community or another.”
“We believe that it is possible to move forward in agreeing on what would be a kind of common EBAU, not perhaps a single EBAU, on the same day, with the same questions, which is something quite difficult, from a logistical point of view, to carry out, but recover some elements that have been lost,” he said.
Among these he referred to “a series of common criteria” that, he understood, should be “considered to avoid those differences that can excessively influence the future of the students.”
