Uriarte's statements were as follows, suggesting that the Government will act more rigorously in evaluating students than the framework proposed by the Government of Spain: “In the Basque Country, no one is going to repeat the course for coronavirus, but that does not mean that all the students will pass the course. Two thirds of the course has already taken place in person, and the work of these months must be added to that. Each cloister, with their professional experience and judgment, will decide who surpasses and who does not.” In any case, he added that repetition will be an exception.
It remains to be seen whether the Uriarte declaration has been a half-night cough of the goat and the plan that the Basque Government has prepared to place it within the framework proposed by the Spanish Department of Education, clarifying the nuances, adapting the promotion and the evaluation criteria. Or, if not, whether the plan of the Basque Government has prepared something outside the framework proposed by Spain, and whether these statements in the Deia newspaper are the answer given to announce it. In this case, the PNV could implement "sovereignty" to benefit the stronger social classes and increase the gap.
It is to be hoped that this will stimulate the response of educational and social actors. Is the Government eager and powerful to get into this whirlwind?
It is significant that the CAPV School Council has not met throughout this process: The School Councils of Spain and Navarre, on the other hand, have participated in the processes of these governments and have approved their approaches to the end of the course.
