Overview
- AVL president Verònica Cantó dismissed the renaming bid as “a brindis al sol,” citing the supermajority needed to change the academy’s founding law.
- The Generalitat will ask the national Ministry of Universities to allow Valencian students to sit PAU exams in Spanish or Valencian or to choose which of the two grades counts.
- Carlos Mazón criticized the AVL for failing to assert a differentiated Valencian identity in relation to Catalan.
- The academy is operating after a near‑40% budget cut was partly offset by a €200,000 regional subsidy and a €200,000 pledge from the Diputació de València.
- Mazón also announced plans to add teaching hours for languages, mathematics and reading, advance free education from 0 to 3 years, and include ETA terrorism in Bachillerato history.
