Barcelona Protests Education Reforms

In Spain, people are also protesting education reforms. In Barcelona, over a thousand people took to the streets to protest the new 3+2 Decree that shortens university education. The new system reduces the number of years for obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree from 4 to 3 years and a Master’s Degree from 2 to 1 year. Many students say the reforms will only benefit wealthy families and place a greater burden on those who want to pursue a graduate degree. teleSUR
