Organic Education Act
They are the first changes in the Organic Education Act of 2006. Students who do not end up ESO will obtain a certificate of basic skills. The Council of Ministers today approved the Royal Decrees amending the fourth year of compulsory secondary education and the new management of vocational training, both driven by Educacion Minister Angel Gabilondo. ESO reform aims to deepen the guiding character of the fourth course by establishing three different pathways for students and reforming the initial professional qualification programmes. The new FP seeks more flexible and expand the offer of studies to adapt more easily to the demands of the socio-economic environment.
The educational administrations wishing to do so may implement them already on the next educational calendar, but will be mandatory in the 2012-2013 academic year. Both included in the law of sustainable economy, are the first reforms of the Organic Education Act of 2006. The new 4th that will be introduced three new subjects: Food, nutrition and health; Sciences applied to the professional activity and professional orientation and entrepreneurial initiative. All students must study a series of common subjects and choose three subjects from the options or two subjects of an option and a third of the common. In the itineraries, one is more centered at the artistic and plastic and Visual, Latin, music-Letras-educacion, another toward the Ciencias-biologia and geology, physics and chemistry, technology – and a third party take toward the Fp-alimentacion, nutrition and health, applied to the professional activity and technology sciences. In addition access to initial professional qualification programs, formerly called Social guarantee, be reformed. Be one step ahead of a course, so students can enter them at age 15 and not at 16, until now. This made that students most repeated at least a course before entering.
They will have duration of two years and will enter a FP Middle grade. Another novelty is that students who finish ESO without obtaining the graduate will receive a certified official call of core competencies. This will allow them, in case of return to the Studio, not having to repeat courses which adopted in its previous attempt. The reform with vocational training, initial professional qualification modules, will be included in this type of education specialization courses of vocational training to complete the FP and programmes for young people over the age of 17 years who left the study prematurely. Also the possibilities for access to two levels of FP will be expanded. For the environment, accessibility is incorporated after the initial professional qualification programmes and you can move through a bridge course from grade FP medium to the top. So far, they should first enroll in baccalaureate or make an entrance examination.
