5th year of ESO, a high school in Gràcia's formula for not leaving students behind

Source Summary

"We saw that they were finishing ESO without the title because they were very far from what the curriculum requires, and of course, they left with one hand in front and another behind," explains Loles Resa, head of secondary studies at the Sant Josep de Gràcia school. She speaks about what some students at the center had experienced, but it is not an isolated situation. According to the Equitat.org yearbook released this week, after many years of increasing or remaining stable, in the last five academic years the rate of ESO graduates has fallen consecutively. Despite being high, the percentage has gone from 93% to 86% in the 2024-2025 academic year, the lowest ESO graduation rate in fifteen years.
