Protest in Catalonia, step by step
When the Department of Education of Catalonia (ERC) decided to suppress the oral test of its diagnostic evaluation, voices were raised immediately against it: the Junts party, the Inter-Trade Union Independence Syndicate and the social agent Plataforma per la llengua asked the Government of Catalonia to measure the oral capacity of the students.
It's also normal, right? Without measuring verbal, you can't measure a student's communicative ability, right? No?
We do. In the CAPV, the communicative competence of students is determined without measuring their oral competence: “Therefore, it can be said that almost 80% of students who have completed compulsory schooling have sufficient competence to communicate and be able to continue learning in this language”. (End-of-stage diagnostic evaluation 2022, page 41). But “the Mintzamena dimension of competence in linguistic communication in Basque has not been evaluated and the Idazmena dimension has only been evaluated in two of the three linguistic communication competencies” (22). p. ).
In Catalonia, protesting, the government has managed to reverse and measure oral competence in the diagnostic evaluation this year. In us?
The Curriculum Decree of the Department of Education (77/2023) defines “competence in linguistic communication implies acting orally, in writing or (with a sign) in a coherent and appropriate manner”. Article 41 of the aforementioned Decree states that “the diagnostic evaluation processes are aimed at certifying the level reached by students in key and specific competences”. Without measuring verbal aspects, the competence in linguistic communication of students cannot be credited.
As in Catalan, only once the oral competence in Basque has been measured for 4th grade students of the ESO: HABE, in 2018. There were 1,000 students, they were measured level B2 and, as I know, the results have not been published. It is curious that in the Diagnostic Evaluation of 2022 this is the only linguistic level expressly mentioned: HABE measured oral level B2; in 2022, written expression and understanding were measured, but it is not clear whether level B1, B2, something intermediate…
It is not the only curiosity: in 2017 45.6% of ESO 2 students had the lowest level in Basque; in 2018, 27.7% of ESO 4; in 2019, 47.9% of ESO 2. In 2021, with no percentages: “Competence in linguistic communication in Basque has decreased considerably”; in 2022, 20.8% of students have decreased at the lowest level. From one year to the next, 20% of students manage to move from the lowest to the right level.
Back to the beginning: In Catalonia, Protestada, the government has managed to step back and measure oral competence in the diagnostic evaluation this year. In us? Are we encouraged to protest?

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]

The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
