The Integrated University Information System (SIIU) publishes figures on student grades at the end of high school across Spain. From 2015 to 2023, the number of Catalan students completing high school with an excellent grade—an average of between 9 and 10—has increased by four points. Catalonia is one of the three regions that gives the least excellent grades to students., along with Navarre and the Balearic Islands. This data is part of a statistic that needs to be interpreted. Does this mean that in Catalonia, fewer excellent students are awarded compared to other regions because teachers are more demanding?

The Education Department has backed down on some of the changes it was proposing in primary and secondary education curricula. After listening to the proposals by the educational community, the Department has finally presented the final proposal and, among the most important new features, the new bottom grade will no longer be renamed "in process of achievement", as had been proposed in the draft, but will remain "not achieved". In addition, "autonomous management", where schools can freely decide what subjects to teach, have been cut from 6 to 4.
