- Fourteen institutes in the Lleida region have joined a manifesto against the mandatory nature of a research project mandated for the second year of Bachillerato.
- The manifesto, which started at the Tona Institute, now includes over a hundred centers across Catalonia.
- The rejection by these centers focuses on three main issues: the heavy academic workload for students, the increased burden on teachers, and the challenge of verifying student authorship amidst the use of artificial intelligence.
- Eleven of the joined centers are from Lleida, and three are from Alt Pirineu i Aran, including notable institutes such as Pont de Suert, Tremp, and Ara de Vielha.
- The participation of institutes in Lleida city, including Caparrella, Maria Rúbies, Torrevicens, La Mitjana, and Josep Lladonosa, adds to the growing opposition.
- The protest not only addresses the volume of work and time it demands from students but also questions the recognition given to the additional effort required from teachers.
- The concern over verifying student authorship is exacerbated by the use of artificial intelligence tools, which complicates determining whether the submitted work genuinely reflects the student’s efforts.
