To which said Juan Lopez Telemadrid have to answer the following:

When he said he read literally what is written in the Royal Decree is telling the half truth. Royal Decree 1629/2006 states in Article 5, second additional provision (which is to which he referred to):

"Official Language Schools may, in terms available to the respective educational authorities, organization and delivery of specialized courses for the improvement of skills in languages, both in basic, intermediate and advanced levels as C1 and C2 of the Council of Europe, as these levels are defined in the Common European Framework Reference for Languages \u200b\u200b

What's "special courses" not "Mr. Lopez. Not to mention it. And what are specialized courses? "Legal English? "German for business? "French Literary Translation? However, most students want courses comparable to the levels C1 and C2 of a general European and they do not want specific courses that meet the needs of a few.

And another thing. Mr. Lopez said the decision was in the hands of the Autonomous Communities. And why? Intermediate and advanced levels have been regulated by the Ministry. In the same 1629 decree displayed detailed curricula at those levels. So for those levels have not been given freedom to decide Communities Why then have not been regulated and specified as mandatory curricula that lead to obtain the levels C? How is it possible that Mr. Smith now says they can not do anything when the Ministry itself has been decided that, through the Royal Decree, that for levels C may have specific courses only, leaving the decision in addition to the Communities?

If Mr. Smith is right, soon we will meet with students who could not attend in their community to the award of level C, because the relevant Education Authority has not considered suitable, so that these students must recourse, if any, to more expensive private institutions, while in other communities if you can access the C level by studies in the schools, though, of course, limited to a specialty that the educational authorities concerned you can think of. A real setback to equal opportunities.

The question remains: Why has not regulated by the Ministry of studies necessary for the granting of the School Certificate is equivalent to level C2 of the CEFR? What policy is that they leave such an important decision to what each community wants to tell? How secure are the students who begin studying a language level that may reach the end of their studies?

As we have not received an answer to these questions and also have some other claims, we continue with our protest and demonstrating what they claim. In Telemadrid we did and we were surprised with the reply of Mr. Juan Lopez, who we did not know he was going to produce. Nor are we offered to do a contraréplica. But nevertheless, we are determined to go forward. Of course, with the help of all of you who is obviously fundamental.
I also invite you to read the opinions of teachers on video Telemadrid and criticizing what he said Mr. Juan López. Blog
