Catalan philology studies are experiencing a moment of opportunity. Given the growing need for professionals trained in Catalan language and literature, and the projected retirements in the education and administrative sectors, the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) announced a pilot scholarship program for the 2025-2026 academic year at the Education Fair. The measure is part of the second edition of the "Tria Filologia Catalana" (Tria Catalan Philology) campaign, which seeks to highlight the employment potential of this university degree.

The lack of Catalan language and literature teachers and, in general, of graduates in Catalan philology has set off alarm bells in recent years, to the point that 40% of substitutions were not covered last year. The Department of Education and the Consortium for Linguistic Normalization not only foresee a growing need for specialists to teach the language to adults in reception and secondary school classrooms, but also a significant number of retirements in the next decade, even among language planning technicians in the administration.
