A total of 11,156 students from Castilla y León will participate in the University Entrance Exam (PAU) in the four districts of the Community from today, June 3, until next Thursday, the 5th. The Education counselor, Rocío Lucas, visited this morning, accompanied by the Vice Chancellor of Students and Employability at the University of Valladolid, Cristina de la Rosa, the Campus Esgueva Lecture Hall at the Miguel Delibes Campus, where she was able to witness the impeccable organization of the exams and converse with several teachers responsible for ensuring their proper development.
On this first day, students will be examined in Spanish Language and Literature and History of Philosophy in the morning, and later in various subjects depending on their choice, such as Chemistry, Geography, Technical Drawing Applied to Plastic Arts and Design II, Cultural and Artistic Movements or Technical Drawing II, French, Design, Greek II, Geology and Environmental Sciences, Choir and Vocal Technique II, Portuguese, German, and Italian. This year, as a novelty, students with specific educational support needs will have more time to complete each exercise, and for students diagnosed with dyslexia and/or dysorthographia or a similar disability, the general correction criteria approved by the PAU organizing committee will be adjusted.
In this regard, the Education counselor highlighted that in Castilla y León, «we stand for educational equity, we have been fighting for a single PAU for many years without achieving anything from the Spanish Government, which refuses to fight for something so fair, logical, and objective.» This academic year, the counselor noted that a historic milestone will take place, with 12 autonomous communities reaching an agreement to standardize dates, specification matrices, exam structure, and correction criteria, such as spelling mistakes, which will be corrected in the same way in all 12 autonomous communities. Lucas emphasized that she will continue working to show the Government that it is «the fairest and most objective for everyone, and therefore, the best for the education of our youth.»
Specifically, 4,535 students have enrolled in the district of the University of Valladolid – on campuses, Valladolid (2,699 students), Segovia (700), Palencia (659), and Soria (477). On the other hand, the Salamanca district has managed the second highest number of enrollments with 2,840 – on campuses, Salamanca (1,625), Ávila (617), and Zamora (598). At the University of León, 2,055 students will take the exams, with 1,552 taking them in the capital and 503 at the Ponferrada campus. Finally, 1,726 students will participate in the exams at the University of Burgos.
Access to the PAU grades will be available starting from June 12 on the websites of the public universities of Burgos, León, Salamanca, and Valladolid. Lastly, the extraordinary exam session is scheduled for July 1, 2, and 3, with grades being released on July 8.
