"The protective mission of the Army or the Police", the defense of "the values of the Constitution" and the increase in the History and Geography syllabus are some of the touches on which the Community of Madrid chaired by Isabel Díaz Ayuso is working to reform the curricula educational of the next academic year 2024-2025. Modifications aimed at both students and teachers, which the Minister of Education himself, Emilio Viciana, introduced yesterday during a press breakfast organized by Nueva Economía Forum.
The improvement of knowledge about the Constitution, which has been announced in full defense of the Magna Carta carried out by Ayuso herself after the approval of the processing of the amnesty law agreed by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, with his partners of investiture, will be carried out, as El Mundo reports, through training courses given by the Las Acacias Regional Center for Innovation and Training located in the capital.
Among the measures related to teachers, Viciana has highlighted the need to make an effort to stimulate the motivation of teachers and recognize their work, in addition to improving their training, to reinforce knowledge of the Spanish Constitution and classics such as Don Quixote.
The regional Executive is also working with the idea that some of these subjects, specifically Geography and History, will be taught in Spanish, so the English reinforcement of the bilingual models will focus on the optional subjects whose contents are worked on by projects and in groups as contained in the plan for free, plural and quality education that the regional Executive will present in January.
Viciana justified these modifications by having detected from the educational community "a decrease" in the knowledge of these contents due to the classes having been taught in English.
To reinforce the study of History, the Ministry of Education is working on closing an agreement with the Royal Academy of History so that, within the powers recognized by the Ministry of Science and Universities, the institution can make a report of a nature general about the contents that are in the curriculum of the Community of Madrid on history.
Other objectives of the plan are to reinforce reading and writing, promote alphanumeric grades and reward excellence and effort, encouraging students to compete "healthily."
