"Manipulation of information for self-interest? Hi!
Today I break my word, as I said yesterday that these days speak of youth activities, alcohol, etc.. Right? Well
has been a change of plans, especially designed for today. Today it has carried out another student strike against Bologna.
few hours ago I held in my hands two brochures related to this plan, one from the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and one from the Student Union.
What surprised me most is the ability that can have to manipulate reality. I'm going to try to compare lines general (as briefly as possible) these two very opposite views.
First, I will take the owner of the JCCM:
This defines the Bologna Process as a project launched by the EU to harmonize the European university systems, so that everyone has a homogeneous structure of undergraduate and graduate degrees, with a similar qualifications. This plan was agreed in 1999 to be carried out in 2010. Bologna
The plan aims to achieve a quality higher education across Europe, which is equally accessible to all students, regardless of their social or economic background can be assumed never an obstacle and encourage the international mobility of students, encouraging the exchange of ideas and experiences.
The following are a number of advantages related to the recognition of studies in other countries and the consequences it entails, but the ultimate benefit is the more curious: "All official studies have undergraduate and graduate public prices, making it cheaper the postgraduate training. "
After explaining the structure of studies (Bachelor, Master and Doctorate), what will happen with the current titles, and what happens to the scholarships. According to the plan brochure guarantees citizens equal access to higher education, removing obstacles that may have economic or other and promotes the increase of scholarships and recognition of studies (after this quote certain scholarship programs.) Finally, there is talk of prices adapted to the EHEA (European Higher Education Area) and it is said that prices of tuition for undergraduate studies will be maintained at current levels, as the board approves each course at public prices and he always does in lower rates and that the official Masters will also have public prices are so much less expensive than today.
Curious, right? From the discussion so far is just a little something to match what he had heard talk to students. Now, look at some positions of the Union of Students.
To this union, Bologna plan is a package of measures to privatize public universities and new structure is intended to expel the children of workers.
The essential
postgrados prohibitive and will be priced multinational companies determine which races and content will be taught in the classroom. In addition the government intends to replace the post-graduate scholarships for bank loans. This makes the right to a university education into a lucrative private business.
also adds that in 40% of students with scholarship in the major Europe, in Spain the figure is only 14%, and the PSOE has approved a tightening of selectivity, to limit the access of students from secondary schools. The union is calling
mobilization, because we, the students, we must stop this.
It's amazing what you can get two views differ on the same topic, or some want to paint that comes up pink, or the rest overdo things too much for their own interests.
I personally do not know who to believe, if a student union with the same interests or the government in times of crisis (which makes you, like it or not, think wrong.) As I have said many times, be mature capacity @ means having choice, knowing what is right and what is not knowing what to ignore and what not, but sometimes we put it a bit difficult ....
A greeting ...
