• 300 evaluation tribunals have been formed to assess the written exams, with each tribunal responsible for reviewing approximately 60 candidates’ papers.
• UGT union has raised concerns about the additional workload for teacher-evaluators due to the overlap with final course assessments and has threatened a strike on May 31.
