Things to improve
If it was in your hands what would you change to help you choose your Area of Studies?
A high percentage (40%) of the students know what they want to do and therefore they don’t need much guidance.
Students who are not sure about their
decision propose:
Eso 4 (15-16)
To have a general idea of all the subjects
To do only the subjects needed for ulterior studies/
professions
Try different options before making a decision
More information about studies and working world
To be older
Vocational training in our school or in the neighbourhood
1º Batxillerat (16-17)
To be able to select subjects and change if we
don’t like them
More information about studies / professions
To be able to approach different subjects before
deciding
Separate students who want to go to University
and those who want to do vocational training
2º Batxillerat (17-18)
More practical classes.
Higher level in ESO
More specialized subjects.
More information about studies / professions
Smaller groups per classroom
Conclusions
It is difficult to make decisions when one does not have
a clear idea about his/her future intentions.
A lot of information but little comprehension before all
the available possibilities.
In ESO 4 they are afraid to take a wrong decision.
In BTX 1 they are more interested in finishing school
than in future plans.
Once in 2n btx everything becomes clearer.
In spite of all kind of information, guidance and advice, it is he or she who finally decides what he or she wants to do in life.
Education serves to prepare people to face difficulties and take advantage of the opportunities to find their way.
The end.
