The Minister for Education, Vocational Training and Sport, Pilar Alegría, the Minister for Science and Universities, Diana Morant, and the Minister for Equality, Ana Redond, together with a group of young people
During the opening ceremony of this fair, which will be held from 6 to 10 March, the ministers toured several of the exhibitors that will allow students to learn about the different training courses they can choose from, both in Baccalaureate and university studies, as well as in Vocational Training.
The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sport has a stand dedicated to reading, reading comprehension and multiple literacies, linked to the theme chosen for this year's AULA: 'Encouraging Reading. Read in the 21st century'. In addition, initiatives in favour of equality and coexistence in the educational environment will be promoted, as these are objectives set by the Ministry itself.
Academic offerings
In this edition, the fair will host 239 companies, institutions and entities from 18 countries, as well as 230 activities to showcase a wide range of academic offerings from universities, companies and vocational training centres, among others.
During her visit, Morant visited the stand of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, which offers advice to secondary and high school students and postgraduates on grants, alliances between European universities, partial credit recognition, the QEDU application (What to Study and Where at University), the latest statistics of the PAU, the Erasmus+ programme, career opportunities and recognition of qualifications.
This fair is part of Education Week, the largest educational event in Spain, which brings together more than 146,000 students, families, teachers, guidance counsellors, heads of educational centres and professionals in the field of education.
