Mazón Prepares Decree to Overhaul Bachillerato, Restricting Valenciano Literature to Local Authors

Approval looks likely given PP’s majority with Vox.

Overview

  • Before year-end, the Consell plans a decree to revise Bachillerato curricula that will pass through the Mesa Sectorial and then be convalidated in the Corts Valencianes.
  • The Valenciano syllabus would focus on authors born in the Valencian Community, excluding Catalan and Balearic writers and removing them from PAU content.
  • The Education Department also intends to update History of Spain to explicitly cover ETA terrorism as part of the same curricular package.
  • The government frames the overhaul as a move toward neutral, ideology-free teaching and as a way to preserve Valencian identity, rejecting the unity of Catalan and Valencian.
  • Opposition parties and teachers’ unions denounce the exclusions as censorship and pedagogically unworkable, while the Consell targets implementation for the 2026/2027 school year.
