The councilors Left Formation elevate a Motion in Parliament September to demand its withdrawal and involvement of the Autonomous Community to correct this situation
The criticisms leveled at the end of August, the State Council match the arguments defended by IU
This new system requires more academic fellows aid incorporates part or variable amount depends on the findings, which is a clear exercise of discrimination, to demand a "infallibility" not ask the rest of the students.
In its opinion on the new system of scholarships and student aid, the State Council stressed that this should ensure that students who lack the financial means to study in the same way than the rest, without requiring higher level of performance.
The opinion agrees, among others, one of the basic arguments wielded IU at the time to stand against the draft standard and has been widely endorsed by the vast majority of the educational community.
The State Council, with a clear position that refutes the perverse and interested link that has been made between the students "lazy" and the right to scholarships and grants, remember also that it is a misconception that students find it indifferent to the outcome of the studies and in the course thereof, the education system itself and impose academic requirements ultimately determine its continuity.
Moreover, the opinion also evident lack rigor of the Ministry to develop the draft without having foreseen impact memory able to assess the consequences that may attend to apply the new academic requirements.
Also coinciding with the first assessment of IU, for the Council is essential to assess the social impact of the rule because, today, no one knows exactly "or how many, or what kind of students will obtain, or lose, scholarships, and the effects of it, which can be transcendent and not necessarily fair. "
The Council recalls that the Ministry is not the first time that warns of how fundamental that any action taken in this matter this preceded by a study to assess its consequences.
It is therefore imperative that the Centre Scholarship and Study Grants chaired by the Minister Wert fulfill its duties.
After the first wave of criticism of the draft, which has already received a harsh social response, the Ministry decided to "relax" the academic requirement lowering the bar of the note to access some of the aid, although it was actually very little modification will not significantly affect most students who apply.
For IU, with this and there are several opinions that assess negative and forceful arguments the provisions contained in projects of great importance to the education system as a whole.
However, the Ministry is intended that this perverse policy of scholarships and grants that has been left out of the system to thousands of students, unfortunately, are consolidated in Spanish education unacceptably damaging to equality of opportunity, which is the ultimate goal Supports and difficult-if possible-even more the situation of youth in Spain, with irreversible social costs for the country as a whole.
This standard is a new attack on the right to education, demoted again and again so shameful in each of the projects that we know of this Ministry.
