The Councilor for Education of the City of Molina de Segura, Fuensanta Martínez Jiménez, has shown his total disagreement with the change of regulations, by the Ministry of Education of the Region of Murcia, which affects the Occupational Classroom Program, in which 10 students of 15 years of IES Francisco de Goya participate in the Molinense municipality.
At the regional level, the measure affects a total of 40 students, "who are abandoned by the Ministry, since they present absenteeism and high risk of school drop-out." These students are considered as out-of-school students, and are prevented from continuing their studies through of Basic Vocational Training by granting them a zero-point access note, "says the Councilor.
The occupational classroom is an extraordinary measure of educational compensation aimed at 15-year-old students who, having previously been subject to measures of attention to diversity, negatively assess the school framework and present serious difficulties of adaptation to the environment, due to personal conditions or school history that make it very difficult to incorporate and promote in the stage by presenting absenteeism and high risk of dropping out of school.
As established in the regulations governing occupational classrooms, the purpose of this measure of attention to diversity is to reduce absenteeism and the risk of early school dropout, providing students with personal, social and professional skills that favor: its continuity in the educational system, preferably in a training cycle of Basic Vocational Training, without excluding its possible continuity in ESO;
and their socio-labor insertion and their incorporation into active life with responsibility and autonomy.
As explained by Fuensanta Martínez, "although the legislative framework is clear regarding the purpose of the occupational classroom program, the regulations for the admission of students to Basic Vocational Training have recently emerged, which does not take into account what was explained above and grants the treatment of out-of-school students to students in the Occupational Classroom ".
The new regulation establishes that for students who drop out of school or from an occupational classroom or equivalent, the results of the extraordinary evaluation report (September) will be taken as reference in all the subjects of the 2nd or 3rd ESO that they have previously studied in this situation, including , in your case, Religion or alternative.
Therefore, said legislation considers equally the out-of-school students and the students of the occupational classroom program, "with the comparative grievance that implies".
In addition, it does not take into account that many of these students, when they are 15 years old, have never completed 2 ° of ESO (or 3 °).
In this way, since they do not have an evaluation report in that course, they do not have an access note to continue their studies through Basic Vocational Training.
The Councilor for Education considers that "families and students of the Occupational Classroom program feel cheated and abandoned by the Ministry of Education, they demand a solution in this regard and that the school year carried out by the students be taken into account. That the note of the present year be considered as an access note to be able to continue the studies ".
