The communities of the PP and the Basque country affirm the government to withdraw their plan to stop the “University of Chiringuito” | Instruction

The regional governments of the 12 communities governed by the Popular Party and that of the Basque country (PNV and PSOE) affirmed Thursday to Minister Diana Morant to collect his plan for stop the University of Chiringuito To the General Conference of University Policy (CGPU), which was held in Paterna (Valencia). These regional managers believe that the modification of the decree of the creation of public or private universities invades their powers, clash with the Constitution and is a barrier to the opening of new centers in Spain, such a profitable company that soon there will be several private centers (today 46) compared to the public (50) and not everyone has qualities.

The PP consultants wanted to stage their refusal of the text asking that the modification of the 2021 decree was devoted to the conference. The changes force the new university projects to obtain a favorable relationship from theneca or the territorial evaluation agency, to achieve scientific funds in competitive competitions or have at least 4,500 students. The ministry refused. Sources of the Department claim that “is a simple report within the procedure for the preparation of the project of the royal decree. It is in no way an agreement of the CGPU and, therefore, does not require vote. The will to move forward is firm, in the defense of the quality of the Spanish university system.”

The councilor of Madrid, Emilio Vician, was commissioned to make the proposal public. “We prevented us from voting for the modification. We asked to record our front opposition to this modification and what is destined to do with private universities,” he said after the meeting. Madrid is very impressed, because the new screen limits the authorization of two projects in his territory, of which a report has already requested. Extremadura and Aragon, With three initiatives, the Canary and Ballery islands are also seriously damaged and a little less, with a proposal each.

“A university system must guarantee quality and we will request the quality in all those new universities that are believed in our country,” said Minister Morant before the conference. “It cannot be that in the last decade the public has increased only the registration by 2%, while the 100%private one”. The figure expressed, in his opinion, that “something is failing in our country, we are not offering the social lift”.

Now the communities require a technical relationship on the quality of the project to the Ministry and this is voted in the CGPU, but its result has no value, therefore the communities authorize the universities suspended without problems. The government has thought of creating the binding document, but at the congress of the Deputies of PNV and JUNTS who were against, by invasion of skills. They therefore decided to add a second report prepared by the Aneca evaluation agency or its territory, dependent on regional governments. But it wasn’t enough for the PNV.

Basque’s executive was difficult, in the mouth of his vice councilor of the universities, Xabier Aizpurua: “Our first statement is to cancel the urgent character to this project and restart the procedures until a consultation and audience process that gives the possibility of being able to study the text with serenity are held”. The Ministry, on the other hand, believes that it is relevant to act for the emergency process, for the overtaking of the centers in a short time.

Nor the Basque government in this way, with the modification of the decree, the universities that have more than 80% of their virtual activity become state skills, when they now depend on the community in which they have their physical headquarters. “The state is proceeding with a centralization contrary to regional powers,” said Aizpurua. Euskadi has no university mode of distance.

The Basque country is particularly worried about having a Minimum of 4,500 students enrolled in official qualifications so that the Center remains open. “The path to which the universities of very specialized excellence are established in Spain,” said his deputy minister. Euskadi has two individuals who the decree does not affect: the prestigious Deust (11,000 students), of the Jesuits; And the innovative Mondragón, of the homonymous business group. It is a third on the tank: EUNEIZ (296 enrolled in the degree and 7 degrees of Maestro in 2024), with the owner of the Alavés and the clubs of Baskonia, Josean Querejeta, as the main shareholder. It is a business specialized in the creation of sport, physiotherapy and video games which began in 2022.

For his part, in the government of Castilla-La Mancha, by the socialist Emiliano García-Page, this time he aligned himself with the central government. “Our meaning has been compliant with the text presented, because it is connected to what we have applied in recent years, with the initiatives we receive,” said his consultant, Amador Pastor after meeting. Toledo, for his proximity to Madrid and Albacete, in Valencia, in particular interests the promoters of the universities, but the Castilian government -also is willing to authorize the campus, Let them show that they will investigate and transfer knowledge and have collected them in a law.
