Spain prepared thousands of young people for university by passing the PAU. Four out of ten ended up doing a vocational training degree

by

Every July the same scene of thousands of teenagers leaving school is repeated. any of the exams of what was once called Selectivity and, for now, is known as the University Access Test (PAU). For decades, this ritual almost always ended at the same door: the a university. However, in recent years something has changed. The students who take this test no longer do so trusting that your future is assured after a university degree and no longer see Vocational Training as the way out for those who do not want to study. The twist that no one announced. For years, passing the PAU and not going to university was experienced almost as a failure. A waste of talent. Today that stigma has been broken. According to the report Education Panorama 2025prepared by the OECD, 39% of those who enter the economy for the first time Spanish higher education They do so through a higher degree vocational training cycle and only 47% opt for the university route. The figure more than doubles the organization’s average, where only 16% choose this route and 78% go directly to university. These percentages undoubtedly represent a change in mentality more than a statistical anecdote. The FP is no longer the “ugly duckling” of the educational system in Spain. The figures that support the change. According to the latest data collected by the Ministry of Education in the report Vocational Training Student Statistics 2024-2025there has been an increase of 23.5% in the student body in the previous five years, especially highlighting the number of students enrolled in higher grades, which receive 29.8% more students. The contrast with Europe is striking. In Spain, higher vocational training as a gateway to higher education is 33.3%, tripling the European Union average, which remains at 10%. This shift towards training oriented towards learning a profession responds to a specific request that comes from companies. Why young people choose FP and university. According to the report ‘Infoempleo Adecco 2024: Job supply and demand in Spain‘, 47% of the job offers published in Spain, asked for some vocational training degree. It is a figure that grows every year and that begins to compete face to face with the requirement of a university education. Marisa Bermejo, director of Sanitas Campus FP Madrid, declared to The Spanish that “After PAU, young people have to understand that there are several ways to get into a profession.” And he adds that vocational training “allows the development of technical skills from an early stage.” According to data From the Ministry of Education, the employability of Vocational Training is 73%, and with some sectors touching 90%, which places it as a direct access door to the labor market for young people. The sectors that use FP the most. Not all training families grow equally. Administration and Management leads the number of offers, closely followed by Health, with constant demand in laboratories and clinical areas. Commerce and Marketing is also pushing forward, driven by the rise of digital commerce. The fastest growth is carried out by Computing and Communications. It is one of the families with the highest job placement among Higher Degree graduates, where 54.7% find employment before completing two years after graduating. according to the data of the Ministry of Education.

The fire in Los Gallardos reminds us of the car trap. Surrounded by 800 degree flames, it is not a shelter but an oven

by

The unprecedented tragedy of Los Gallardos and the district of Bédar (Almería), which has left at least eleven fatalitieshas broken all the schemes in Andalusia. It is the deadliest fire of the 21st century in Spain, leaving us with a devastating image of people who have lost their lives inside their own vehicles or a few meters from them when trying to flee down the wrong path. The UME has mobilized 150 troops and, as the hours pass, the tragedy reveals an even more bitter face: the first hypotheses suggest that the deceased could be foreign tourists. People who, in panic and not knowing the labyrinthine relief of the area, tried to escape via alternative routes, losing their orientation until they were cornered. The collapse of the system. To understand why this hell has broken out, we have to analyze this perfect storm. On July 9, 2026, the Andalusian emergency system encountered an unfathomable scenario for three fundamental reasons. Extreme simultaneity: while the flames devoured the east of Almería, at the other end of the community, in Benahavís (Málaga), an urban-forest fire forced the emergency evacuation of some 1,000 people, and with the AP-7 cut off. Having two sources of very high life risk at the same time requires dividing the air and land resources of the INFOCA Plan and the UME. Flash ignition: the origin in Los Gallardos was the fall of a power line near the N-340. The spark fell on a forest mass stressed by the very high temperatures and lack of humidity. The wind did the rest. Treacherous topography: Bédar is an area of ​​irregular relief, full of ravines, boulevards and scattered farmhouses. The fire advanced, devouring the slopes faster than a car could travel on a dirt road. The main road was blocked by smoke, forcing desperate evacuations towards Lubrín. The vision of firefighters: as extinction professionals, there are a warning that professionals have been warning for years, although we ignore when panic takes control: the car is the worst place to take refuge from a forest fire. And based on the European Automobile Commissioner (CEA)road safety specialists warn that you should never try to cross a flame front. The vast majority of fatalities in forest fires occur due to trying to save property, delaying escape or delaying evacuation. For example, Australia maintained a Stay and Defend or Leave Early policy until the devastating Black Saturday fires in 2009, which left 173 dead. It was then that the National Center for Biotechnology Information (PMC) analyzed the causes and determined new action protocols. A Molina-Terrén study of 2019 detailed that when civilians are harmed or killed, it occurs almost exclusively during evacuations that are carried out too late, when smoke already impedes visibility and radiant heat blocks escape routes, or when trying to protect agricultural assets and homes. A recent study reaffirmed this thesis. The oxygen factor. As pointed out by the services of Red Crossan engine needs oxygen to run. When the fire consumes all the oxygen in the environment, the car simply suffocates and stops. According to the firm ISK Fire Survivalwhich designs fireproof protection systems for fire trucks themselves, details how radiant heat is lethal for a standard vehicle without thermal armor: windshields can burst at temperatures above 300 ° C, leaving the passenger compartment exposed. A sixth generation fire consumes all available oxygen and expels carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen cyanide. With melted wheels, traction is lost and thick smoke reduces visibility to zero in seconds. And, since the car’s ventilation system is not airtight, it is the toxicity of the air that begins to affect the body. And when the fire corners or the car is already partially trapped, the next few seconds are critical. The order of how to act from then on is capital. Expert advice indicates: Find a clearing and park. Here the important thing is to look for the area with the least possible vegetation, stopping far from trees or dense bushes. If you can park behind a stone wall (from some old construction) or in a dirt clearing, a large open field or a plowed field, the better. Turn off the engine and block the air. That is, close the windows, turn off the air conditioning and activate air recirculation to delay the entry of toxic smoke into the passenger compartment as much as possible. It is also important to flash and turn on emergency lights to be visible. Cover yourself with natural materialsnever with plastics or synthetic fibers. A wool blanket or cotton jacket does not melt or melt as easily, so it will not cause such serious injuries. get on the ground. Literally, lying below the level of the windows, crouched under the seats, protects from the direct radiation that enters through the windows and the smoke that accumulates at the top. Don’t go out. The passage of the flame front lasts between 2 and 5 minutes. The interior of the car can withstand more than a body exposed to the elements, which means that it should only be abandoned if the fire has entered inside. Then the car becomes a trap.

a 90 degree bridge

by

A small miscalculation can be fatal if it accumulates throughout an entire chain of command. A deviation of centimeters can, for example, become a road that deviates several meters from its destination when tens of kilometers have been laid out. These are things that can happen and what they can have dramatic results when someone, very far into the project, realizes what happened. They are small deviations, very small errors in calculations that designers, draftsmen and engineers try to correct throughout an entire project. In the end, the possibility of someone screwing up is there and it is something that can happen. Of course, there are cases and cases. They are called “invisible errors”those that only appear when one is already involved in the work or has even finished it. But what happened in the city of Aishbagh, an industrial area in northern India, does not quite fit the definition of “invisible errors.” For example, the image that heads this article. Seven engineers suspended and 2.3 million thrown in the trash “Controversial.” This is how they define NDTV to the so-called “90 Degree Bridge”. A definition that, evidently, seems to fall too short for those who decided to suspend the seven engineers in charge of the project (two of them chief engineers) and investigate the companies involved. The problem was as simple as the name is explicit. The Public Works Department (PWD) needed to erect a bridge to save some train tracks. Construction progressed and last year the opening day arrived. A festive moment if it weren’t for the fact that the bridge instantly became a meme. And on one side, the curve was little more than a corner. A fold that evidently prevented two cars from circulating at the same time through this space and that could cause very serious accidents. In Tribune India explain that the bridge issue led Mohan Yadav, head of Madhya Pradesh, the region in which Aishbagh is located, to give explanations for X. In them they indicated that they were committed to finding a solution to the bridge issue and that, evidently, it would be impassable until they found a way to repair the damage. Essential, of course, for a space that was intended to be key for the passage to either side of the tracks of up to 300,000 people, they explain in Vice. Since then, the issue of the bridge has been on the table of the two main administrations involved, the one responsible for road traffic and the railways. A problem that has lasted a whole year and it was not until a few weeks ago when it was decided that the curve would be softened taking advantage of the fact that the path was going to be widened. The most curious thing is that, explain our colleagues from Motorpasión Mexicothe bridge It does not have a 90º turn. This is the colloquial way of referring to the bizarre design. The bridge actually has a bend of 118º, as stated in a report that It also surprised in India. A year later, the administrations have already agreed and the bridge should be being renovated. The companies in charge of its construction and design, which, as political leader Mohan Yadav explained, have been included on a blacklist, will not do so.

We believed that a master’s degree was a guarantee of finding a job. It’s starting to be of exactly no use.

by

When you have higher education and can’t find a job or want to advance, historically a good idea has always been to go back to school. Getting a master’s degree was an almost safe investment in the face of uncertainty because it allowed you to specialize and find a better job. However, if we talk about master’s degrees, that reality is no longer true. More specifically, general master’s degrees. Because while doctorates or qualifying master’s degrees do work, general master’s degrees suffer an alarming devaluation in the market: according to a study by the Burning Glass Institute with data from the Bureau of Employment Statistics (BLS) of which echoesThe Wall Street Journalthe unemployment rate in the United States among those under 35 years of age with a master’s degree is at one of its highest levels in the last 20 years. Master’s degrees are worth less and less. What the Burning Glass analysis says is that those who have a master’s degree under 35 years of age are in the 77th percentile of unemployment when the normal is the 50th percentile. In fact, they are behind those with less education. Of course, we are talking about general master’s degrees, not qualifying ones. Furthermore, this phenomenon does not occur among those who have a doctorate. Gad Levanon, chief economist at the Burning Glass Institute, sums it up appealing to the law of supply and demand: “there are more titles competing for fewer positions than those titles were designed to unlock.” In short: once a master’s degree was a sign of distinction, but when everyone has it, it no longer makes a difference. Why is it important. Beyond statistical curiosity, it is a question of time, money and expectations. Making an effort to pay for a master’s degree thinking that it is an investment with a quick return and when it is not is frustrating. Plus, a 2025 Indeed survey collect that more than a third of graduates consider that their university degree was a waste of money or time and that they could do the same without it. In the case of generation Z, the percentage rises to 51%. The boom in master’s degrees has also reached human resources departments: the Society for Human Resource Management warns that more and more companies are replacing degree requirements with practical skills criteria. This represents a gap between young people who accumulate theoretical degrees and human resources offices, which are looking for talent prioritizing, not the paper that proves that you studied it. Context. The market for people with a master’s degree is saturated simply because there are too many master’s degrees: hyper-specific, online and blended, express… because non-qualifying higher education is a most lucrative business. In the United States between 2005 and 2021, the master’s degree offer grew by 69% to exceed 33,500 according to the Postsecondary Education and Economics Research Center. In Spain, more of the same: “The Spanish university in figures” collect that the offer of master’s degrees in Spain has skyrocketed by 54% since the implementation of the Bologna Plan, going from 2,626 to more than 4,000 official degrees. This boom has been driven exponentially by private universities, with enrollment growth of 250% more. Meanwhile, two things happened that helped this perfect storm: according to Lightcast data analyzed by the Wall Street Journal, the percentage of job offers that require a university degree fell to 17.8% in 2024 compared to 20.4% five years ago, a trend that already affects 87% of sectors. The second big problem of young graduates is called AI: while HR looks for decisive people, companies are betting on artificial intelligence for those junior positions essential to gain experience. In Spain they work, but with small print. The CYD 2024 report points out that in 2023 Spain reached the highest overqualification rate in the entire European Union: 35.8% of higher graduates between 20 and 64 years old work in low-skilled positions, compared to the 21.9% average in the EU. That is to say, it is not that these master’s degrees do not help you find a job, it is that they help you find a job below what they promise. Yes, but. Practical skills may be emerging as an important requirement for employability, but theory is one thing and practice another: although 85% of companies say they hire based on skills, when it comes down to it, only 1 in every 700 actual hires meets that criterion. according to a report joint Burning Glass Institute and Harvard Business School. On the other hand, there are master’s degrees and master’s degrees: we have already seen that the qualifications continue to work and there are also subjects with high demand that make them potentially attractive.

Two students have the same university degree. One will go further than another: whoever comes

by

Where you come from matters a lot if we talk about “social elevators.” Without going too far, the problem nuclear of housing for young people is not such depending on the family that has touched. But these inequalities begin to be noticed much earlier. In fact, it has been found that even the university degree itself does not depend so much on the grade, but on your origins. Gap after the title. a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research with massive data on graduates from public universities in the United States show that, even when students have the same major, the same grades and leave the same institutions, those who come from low-income families finish five years later earning substantially less than their peers from families with more resources. In other words, this means that graduating (which for years was the central objective of equity policies) does not close the gap, it simply transfer to the labor marketwhere he reappears strongly despite having followed the same academic itinerary. The first job. When the researchers adjusted the data by including characteristics of the first job (starting salary, company size, average employer salary level and sector) the gap between poor and rich graduates fell by a third of its original size. This result indicates that a large part of the inequality does not occur years later, but in the instant of jump to the market: the first salary alone explains almost half of the income difference in year five, and other attributes of the first job destination added another substantial part. In other words, that first match between graduate and employer weighs more for future economic trajectory than most previous academic factors. The differences. There’s more, as research indicates that graduates from lower-income households tend to reach the end of their degree less likely to have a secure jobaccept offers with lower starting salaries and enter companies that, on average, pay less and offer fewer promotion and training options. Every extra thousand dollars in starting salary is associated with seven hundred dollars plus five years afterwards, and those who remain in first place for at least two years register several thousand more income in the medium term. This suggests that, even without differences in talent or record, the social origin determines the type of first job that is accessed, and that starting point chain conditions what happens later. Implications. In a political key, the picture that emerges the work forces us to shift the focus of intervention: it is not enough to guarantee access and graduation if inequality re-establishes itself just as we cross the door of the labor market. The researchers say that if the first job explains a good part of the gap, then the policy that aspires to real mobility must act explicitly about that transition (early information, networks, search preparation, paid internships, matching with better quality employers) because that is where today the nuclear difference is formed between equals on paper, but different in origin. Without that final layer, the title stops functioning as a ladder of equality and becomes a filter that validates inequalities that are already written before the first contract. The weight of origin. In short, the evidence suggests that inequality reappears in the transition to work because the resources that mattered before university (social networks, early information, financial cushion and room to wait for a better offer) continue to operate when the time comes to choose the first job. Those who can finance a few months without salary can reject bad offers and wait for a better one, and those who cannot, accept the first one. Those who have relatives or contacts in large companies obtain recommendations that reduce entry friction, and those who do not compete blindly. Even the most sensitive information about how, when and where to apply is unevenly distributed. From that perspective, the “first step” is neither chance nor pure merit: it is a translation in labor terms of the previous advantages that are not seen in the academic record, but that determine the quality of the first contract, and of a “bright” future or simply a future.

In 48 hours the Gaza conflict will take a 360 degree turn. And some options were science fiction just a few days ago

by

Trump, accompanied by Netanyahu, has presented An ambitious plan of peace that seeks to end almost two years of war in Gaza, releasing Israeli hostages and opening a reconstruction process under international supervision. Its scheme demands the surrender of Hamas, the total disarmament and its political exclusion, offering in return the release of about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the massive entry of humanitarian aid. TO Your ultimatum He has hours left for the conflict of a 360 degree turn. An unexpected plan. Unlike previous proposals that were limited to partial truces, the one now intends a definitive cessation of hostilities, with a period of just 72 hours (now about 48) so that Hamas delivers all captives. Israel would keep troops in A safety corridor Within Gaza and in damping areas, but it would commit to partial replication, while a Palestinian Technical Committee Under the tutelage of A “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and with Tony Blair in a prominent role. The project, prepared in consultations with Israel, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has been qualified by the White House as the most realistic route to close the war and redraw the future of the strip. The concessions to Netanyahu. Netanyahu achieved, to a large extent, Impose your conditions: Hamas would be out of any future administration, the Palestinian authority would only have a hypothetical role subject to drastic reforms, and the creation of a Palestinian state would be deferred to an indefinite horizon. If you want, for the Israeli prime minister, internationally cornered after European recognitions of a Palestinian State and after the Boicot in the United Nationsit was a kind of Rare Diplomatic Victoria: together with Trump he was able to show that he still controls the times and that Washington supports his “total victory” strategy. The right. However, this same position opens cracks within Israel, where the radical right accuses the government of Claudicar by accepting a plan with Symbolic concessions to the Palestinian cause and with the introduction of foreign forces in Gaza. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir They have warned that could demolish the coalition if the agreement becomes a definitive peace that freezes the military offensive, which predicts political turbulence that Netanyahu tries to dodge with procedure maneuvers, such as avoiding taking the entire plan to the vote of the security cabinet. The pressure on Hamas. For Hamas, The proposal is lethal In political terms: he would mean the end of his domain in Gaza after almost two decades, the disarmament of his brigades and the delivery of his last hostages without guarantees of future influence. Even so, the group faces an unpublished pressure: Türkiye, Qatar and Egypt have expressed support for the plan and warn that Hamas’s time runs out. Many analysts They point that the direction of the militia seeks a “decent landing” that saves part of its paintings and avoid total annihilation, but any acceptance of the agreement would mean cross the red lines He has always proclaimed, especially the maintenance of his armed arm. In that context, Trump launched that public ultimatum: “Three or four days” to answer, accompanied by the threat that Hamas will “pay in hell” if he rejects the offer. The dilemma for Islamist leaders is clear: giving and surviving politically in exile or resisting and risking that Israel resumes an even more devastating offensive. The Arab mediators. In this case, Arab countries have gone from rhetoric to direct involvement. Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar have transmitted to Washington and Israel A list of conditions: No to the annexation of Gaza, not to the forced displacement of Palestinians, not to new settlements, and yes to a horizon of Palestinian self -determination. Although Trump’s plan does not fully satisfy these demands, he has incorporated concessions as the mention of a possible “credible route towards Palestinian self -determination” if the Palestinian authority undertakes reforms. The paradox is that the authority itself, weakened and discredited, has Backed the plan With enthusiasm, accepting to review your textbooks, eliminate payments to prisoners and open to international scrutiny in order not to be excluded. For Arab states, the priority is close the war frontcontain humanitarian drift and keep the prospects for the solution of two states alive, even in a rhetorical framework. Internal risks in Israel. We said it before, the agreement threatens to fracture The Israeli coalition. While the centrist opposition supports him as a realistic basis to recover hostages and stop the war, the ultra -nationalist parties perceive it as an inadmissible assignment. The fear of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir is that to accept international forces and a Palestinian administration, even if it is technocratic, EROSIONE ISRAELI CONTROL and leave the door open to a future Palestinian state. Netanyahu tries to keep the Delicate balance: Present the agreement as a triumph in Washington and before the international community, but reassuring its right -wing base ensuring that Israel will retain military presence in Gaza and will never allow a sovereign Palestinian state. This double discourse reflects the fragility of your government, increasingly dependent on maintaining the security narrative against external demands. Trump’s disappointment. The change in tone of Trump himself to Israel does not cease to be striking. In private And in recent statements, the US president has shown An unusual anger with Netanyahu for unilateral attacks that have put the mediation of Washington, such as the bombardment in Doha against Hamas leaders when a fire was discussed. Trump se Feel disappointed So consider a lack of reciprocity: while he has sustained Israel in the international arena, Netanyahu has acted so that weakens the strategy North American diplomatic. This disenchantment, also applicable To the “Russian friend” In the Ukraine War, explains the Plan turnwhich is no longer just a blank check for Israel, but a frame with commitments and deadlines, in which it is even mentioned, even if it is vaguely, the perspective of a Palestinian state.

47% of vacancies ask for a degree of FP

by

The weight of professional training in the Spanish labor market is gaining ground little by little, even imposing itself to the demand for university degrees. According to the Adecco 2024 Infoempleo report, 46.96% of the job offers published during the last year asked the candidates have a FP titlewhich means an increase of five percentage points compared to the previous year. This growth consolidated FP uprising trend as a priority way to access a job in Spain. FP gains land to university titles. according to The report ‘Adecco 2024 Infoempleo: Supply and demand for employment in Spain‘, the vacancies aimed at university degrees They have receded strongly against the promotion of the demand for profiles with FP degrees. In 2024, university profiles only represented 21.42% of the new job offers published in Spain, which represents a 6.1 percentage points with respect to the 2023 records. The authors of the report emphas To technical needs Already the shortage of qualified labor. More upper cycles, less than average degree. However, despite the global increase in the requests for professional training specializations, not all degrees have evolved the same in the labor market. Study data reveal that companies have increased the demand for candidates with higher degree training cycles, monopolizing 33.03% of offers that demanded professional training. This data is an increase of 7.31 points with respect to the data recorded in 2023. In contrast, the job offers that demanded 2.25 points in the same period, staying in 13.93%, marking a trend among companies to demand candidates with a greater professional specialization. Old habits, new needs. A striking fact is that 75.93% of vacancies requesting a FP degree in their job offers does not specify the specific professional family of that degree. All they ask is for the candidate to have a Title of that formative levelwhich leads us to the old habits of human resources departments to request a university degree in positions that did not require it. In those offers in which more concrete requirements are established, the most demanded professional areas are administration and management (6.29%), followed by electricity and electronics (4.5%) and mechanical manufacturing (2.61%). According to the authors, the rise of the FP is also explained by changes in the productive sectors. Offers are increasingly oriented towards areas such as industry, Construction and logistics, to the detriment of the most generalist services, which have lost weight in a remarkable way. For example, the services sector concentrated 23.97% of vacancies in 2023, but in 2024 this percentage fell to 18.38%, a drop of 5.5 points. Madrid and Catalonia lead the demand for FP. If we take into account the geographical distribution of the demand for graduates in FP, some clear differences come to light. Madrid concentrates 27.67% of the offers aimed at FP graduates, standing as the community with the most demand for the third consecutive year. Just behind is Catalonia, with 25.45%, followed by Andalusia, with 9.78%. Only these three communities total 62.68% of the total employment offer for professional training profiles in Spain, highlighting the importance of the FP in the main industrial poles of the country and its High demand for qualified personnel.

Granada promised them very happy with their new degree of the university. Until his feet stopped

by

The University of Granada (UGR) closed the month of June with An important varapalo: Your commitment to the degree in AI It was completely paralyzed. A temporal defeat that is a blow to the city, but not a definitive goodbye to a key degree for its curriculum. Granada wanted to join the wave. In September 2024, the University of Granada proposed the application for verification of the degree in Data Sciences and Artificial Intelligence. One shared with the city of Melilla, and in which students were sought to form one of the most demanded fields of today From this 2026 course. The answer has been a no. For now. What happened. The UGR faced an unfavorable report by the Agency for the Scientific and University Quality of Andalusia (ACCUA). The most immediate translation: Pedro Mercado, rector of the university institution, declared on Monday, June 30 that The beginning of the titles for the month of September would not be reached. The more than 1,100 pre-registered students In the degree they were in Limbo, forced to bet on other UGR formative alternatives. The degree was paralyzed, but not definitively. The University of Granada must make the modifications required by the organization to obtain green light from September. Juanma Moreno, president of the Junta de Andalucía, has assured that The administration will have “everything ready” to start the course in September In case of the issuance of a favorable report. Why acua. Accua It is the main quality evaluation agency in Andalusian universities. Without a favorable emission, the necessary filter is not passed to give the green light to the degree. This is the first time that the entity issues an unfavorable report for a degree of the UGR and, without it, there is no free way. In summary accounts: The university approves the application for degree verification. ACCUA (in the case of Andalusia) Check if the degree meets the quality standards required by the European Higher Education Area (EEES). The Junta de Andalucía analyzes the economic viability and planning of resources of the degree, once approved. The Council of Universities, at the hands of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, reviews whether the title of adjustment to the general framework of the university system. With all previous checks, the degree is officially recorded Why is it important. Spain is trying create a quarry of experts in the counterrelojto cover the current offers without covering in AI and data science. The country needs cover more than 4,000 positions Deserts in these territories, waiting for 2025 for both training offer and professionals with the necessary skills to start covering them. Universities are trying to integrate AI and modify the stem curriculum Not to be left behind and face an inevitable problem: who enrolls from a degree in 2025 will be in … 2029. And there the labor market will be completely different. Amparo Alonso, president of the Spanish Artificial Intelligence Association Between 2013 and 2021, he collected for Xataka that the key will be to “explain the scientific foundation behind”, and not so much programming languages or current technologies. Spain and AI at University. In this acceleration for integrating AI as a university competence, The Community of Madridthe Valencia Polytechnic Universitythe University of Leónthe University of Malaga and the University of Jaénare some of the few who have dared with public degrees focused on data science, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. In their programs, basic pillars such as: Data structures Learning systems GENERATIVE AND COMPUTATION IN THE CLOUD Programming techniques Regulation and legal framework The experts themselves suggest that the key to learning will be to know their pillars and be clear that there is not a single path: The university is a good alternative, but not the only. Key to Andalusia. The degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence responds to a key academic strategy for the technological development plans of the Andalusian Board in cities such as Malaga and Granada. The community led by Juanma Moreno has been trying to become a key technological hub in Spain, with great initiatives such as the Andalusian Technology Park in Malaga, capture of large companies (Vodafone, Salesforce) Chips manufacturing centersand degrees in artificial intelligence in Jaén either Almería. Clear victories, as Google’s first cybersecurity center in Spain In the center of Malaga, they place the community in a competitive and ambitious position. And Granada, on a smaller scale, is willing to follow its steps. Image | How to practice languages using artificial intelligence
