Education Title Sale Issue: José Mencía Issues Warning

University professor José Mencía warns that the education system treats degrees as a final destination rather than a starting point, undermining their true purpose. Mencía argues that this mindset slows graduates’ entry into the workforce and inflates costs.

He also criticises the growing political influence on curricula and classroom practices. Fellow academics echo these concerns, calling for curricula that prioritize independent and critical thinking.

The debate is shaping a new push for education reform across Spain.
