That is to say, those who completed primary school, the baccalaureate or passed the university entrance test from the 2009-2010 academic year and those who followed the ESO and the basic training for adults from the 2008-2009 academic year to today will benefit from it.

According to the aforementioned resolution, “if the qualifications of the Valencian field or subject do not appear totally or partially in the ITACA or in the application of the university entrance tests, the interested party must provide supporting documents (academic certificate, academic history, etc.) to master the field or subject of Valencian in the corresponding courses. If this documentation does not include a digital signature, it must be provided in person.
Approved levels: from A1 to C1
As stipulated in the new law on educational freedom of the government of Carlos Mazón, students who have passed the Valencian subject during the six primary years will obtain the level A2.

Baccalaureate students who have a grade equal to or higher than 7 in Valencian on the average of the two courses will be recognized with a level C1. The same thing will happen with those who got this score on the college entrance test.
Finally, students who have passed the Valencian modules of basic training for adults since 2009 will obtain certification of the level A1.
“It’s not a price”
“We do it for several reasons: because it is fair, because it is accredited and as a major line of support, incentive and promotion in Valencian. Because it is recognition of training and valid for CVs, private and public jobs”, underlined this Monday the President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón.
Mazón launched “an appeal on behalf of the entire Consell to all those who are in the Spanish-speaking regions”, encouraging them to “choose Valencian, to take the exam in Valencian” and encouraging them to “have this recognition, to make this effort.
The head of the Regional Executive insisted that the approval “is not a reward”, but rather “a fair recognition to promote the use of Valencian with love and respect”.
According to data provided by Education, between 70 and 80% of students in Spanish-speaking municipalities request the Valencian exemption to the Baccalaureate. A percentage which drops to 20% in ESO. The difference is explained, according to the Generalitat, by the importance given to the average mark for access to university.
