Galicia Modernizes Vocational Training with New Decree

Galicia's Education Ministry Unveils New Decree for Vocational Training: International Titles and Associated Professorships Galicia, Spain – The Consellería de Educación in Galicia has announced a new decree that will significantly reform the region's vocational training (FP) system. The decree, currently under development, introduces several key changes designed to modernize and internationalize FP education. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of internationally recognized FP titles. This move aims to enhance the employability of Galician FP graduates in the global job market. "The goal is to ensure that our students have qualifications that are valued worldwide," explained a spokesperson from the ministry. The decree also creates the position of 'associated professor,' allowing universities and FP institutions to collaborate more effectively. This will facilitate the recognition of credits between university and FP programs, providing students with greater flexibility and pathways for further education. Furthermore, the decree opens the door for the hiring of experts to provide intensive practical training. This will ensure that students receive hands-on experience in their chosen fields, enhancing their skills and preparing them for real-world employment. The new decree is expected to be finalized and implemented in the coming months, marking a significant step forward for vocational training in Galicia.
