Once the University Access Assessment (EBAU) tests were completed yesterday Thursday, the different Madrid university campuses were filled with young pre-university students wanting to party and drink. This Friday, the gardens of some universities in Madrid have appeared full of rubbish, but the cleaning service operators have been working since early morning to leave them in perfect condition.
The tons of garbage, bags and bottles have been disappearing, despite the fact that the image first thing in the morning made it clear that there had been hundreds of young people celebrating the end of the tests and the previous months of intensive study.
The municipal police launched a message on social networks warning of the consequences: "The bottle seems fun, but its consequences are worrying: it affects coexistence, generates noise, dirt, irresponsible behavior and puts everyone's health and safety at risk. Opt for safer and more responsible alternatives."
The acting spokeswoman for the Madrid City Council, Inmaculada Sanz, already warned yesterday Thursday that the municipal police were going to be "especially vigilant in case the students who are taking the tests for the Evaluation for University Access gather to do bottles". In the end, it seems that there have been parties, but civilized and without major problems of coexistence.
Throughout the week, 38,251 students from the region have taken the exams on the campuses of the six Madrid universities. The Complutense University has welcomed the largest number of students in this EBAU with a total of 12,647, while the rest have been distributed among the Autonomous University (9,729), Carlos III (5,376), Alcalá (5,058), Rey Juan Carlos (3,978) and the Polytechnic University of Madrid (1,463).
Precisely, 65.7% of young people from Madrid between the ages of 14 and 18 prefer a single University Access Assessment test for all of Spain and up to 58% consider that it is "more difficult" in the Community of Madrid than in the rest of the regions, according to a study by the regional government that has been made public this Friday.
