The advance to July of the call increases the number of students who repeat the tests in search of better grades
The advancement of the extraordinary call (the repechage) of the entrance exams to the University (Ebau) from September to July has increased the number of students who appear. Yesterday 1,235 students began their Ebau exams, which represents an increase over last year, when 1,081 students enrolled. Also in 2021 there was a significant increase in enrollment compared to 2020, breaking a decade-long trend of sustained declines year after year.
Last year was the first time that the extraordinary call was brought forward to the month of July, instead of waiting for the month of September. At the University of Murcia (UMU), coordinator of the tests, they interpret that the increase is due in part to the fact that the number of students who repeat the tests to improve their results has increased. Added to them are those who failed subjects in the second year of Baccalaureate or the Ebau in the first call.
“I am going to try to enter the new degree in Data Science and Technology, in Murcia or Cartagena”, Sabrina Aouad, a student from Los Alcázares, explained yesterday at the UPCT, who opts for the new degree that the two universities will release next year. public in the region.
Sabrina failed the ordinary June Ebau, but now she is better prepared. «I have it recently and I don’t have the pressure during the whole summer», she commented on the possibility of carrying out the test in September. Students taking the Ebau will continue with exams until tomorrow, Wednesday.
