    Requirements for teaching

    Requirements as of todayIn this call, they change the rules of the game and they accept any Primary or Pre-Primary degree with a B2 for teaching English.
    This means that the Minor is not necessary, even though the Ministeri had specified that it had to be a requirement. This is especially worrying since all the students that started university this year will have to certify a B2 level of English if they want to obtain their degree. This means: every teacher (Primary or Pre-Primary will be an EFL teacher).

  • We contact Ensenyament to confirm this info

  • We receive the confirmation by the "Cap de personal docent" in Tarragona

  • We summon the other coordinators of the Minors

    We celebrate the meeting in the UIC and we reach a consensus on:
    - Not accepting this fact.
    - Asking for the support of the Deans of the different Universities.
    - Asking the Deans to summon the "Director General de Professorat i Personal de Centres Públics"
    - Be ready to take further actions in case this is not enough
