Overview

• The regional president announced a 50% tuition deduction capped at €400 for under‑30 students who study full time while working, with a €6 million budget estimated to reach about 15,000 beneficiaries.
• Eligibility requires at least 300 days of work in the year with a minimum of five months overlapping study and employment, and excludes training contracts.
• A mathematics “rescue” introduces 10 minutes of daily mental calculation in Infantil and Primaria, alongside basic-content guides and expanded teacher training, while screen time will be curtailed with no tablet‑based homework starting this course.
• To ease math‑teacher shortages, the region will broaden acceptable degrees to teach the subject, seek permission for qualified retirees and third‑year mathematics undergraduates to teach, and request a national emergency plan.
• Ayuso made the announcements at the Simone Ortega vocational center in Móstoles, highlighting record FP enrollment of 188,515 and roughly 75% employability, as unions and opposition parties challenged staffing shortfalls in primary schools ahead of this week’s Debate on the State of the Region.
