Proof of the need to carry out this demand of the students is that for two weeks they have obtained more than 7,500 signatures. To correctly measure the size of this figure, we can observe that in the last elections in the UPV/EHU there were about 40,352 students and that our rector obtained 1,074 votes from university students. We have mixed the corners of all faculties, visited the classrooms one by one and we have calmly explained to each student the consequences of this article.
Someone will wonder what this article says in order to provoke this scandal. Basically, he says that if the student wants to give up the call for a subject, he must manifest it one month before the end of the course. It's not a joke! In places where this Article does not apply, failure to submit a student to the exam will qualify as Not Submitted and will not lose the call. In places where the standard is implemented, the student must decide one month in advance if he or she risks losing a call. We say it's a risk, because a month before the end of the course, it's hard to predict the evolution of our learning process.
As a consequence of this article, we can say that students lose the autonomy to carry out our studies, totally dependent and submissively
As a consequence of this article, we can say that students lose the autonomy to carry out our studies, making us totally dependent and submissive
conversion. Because the norms of evaluation involve discipline, rapid rhythms, the adaptation of our life to the needs and desires of the superior, the competences between us in the future wage work. 12. Article 2 must also be understood in that direction.
This Evaluation Regulation points to another consequence of the Bologna process: the failure of the process aimed at continuous and pedagogical evaluation. We are all aware that the ongoing evaluation is currently being carried out within the UPV/EHU at a reduced rate, and that in reality the final tests continue to have a significant weight in the evaluation criteria. As usual, the interests of workers have been left out of this assessment regulation.
As we have said, we have done our best to solve this problem: we have collected signatures, we have broadened the problem to the four winds, we have met with the Student Council, we have written our proposal to all the professors of the Grade Board… The signatories have clearly demonstrated opposition to this standard in the university, but it has not given us any hopeful fruit from any organ of the Upv: The Council of Students has not been able to enter the agenda, the rectorship says that it cannot do anything (even if it is amazing), many teachers have not even answered … Everyone says that they understand the problem and that it must be taken into account, but no body “representing us” has heeded our word. The word of the workers has again been rejected.
What we are clear about is that the responsibility of the Rectorate in this matter is total. The Rectorado is responsible for all decisions taken within the UPV/EHU, so, aware of the urgency of this issue, we ask him to manage this claim as quickly as possible and in the best possible way. The student movement and the 7500 signatures that we have achieved over these three weeks demonstrate that the immediate need of this student is one of the 12 of the Evaluation Regulations. Suspension of Article 2.
Nowadays, the interests of students are placed at the last level in the university, 12. Here we have the question of Article 2. We are the ones who have less strength and less words in all organs, but it is up to us to reverse this situation. We have to unite the forces of all of us and scream aloud 12. We need the annulment of Article 2. To this end, we call on all those who join our demand to join the national mobilization that will take place on 11 April at 13:00 noon. With this mobilisation, we will demand that Article 12.2 be suspended as soon as possible.
