Key Benefits:
The fulfilment of the constitutional duty to ensure the equality of citizens in access to education requires the removal of any obstacles of a socio-economic nature that hinder or impede the exercise of this fundamental right. In addition to basic education, educational benefits lose the compulsory and/or gratuitousness notes, but the constitutional guarantee of the right to education requires that no one be excluded from access to the education of non-compulsory levels. For socio-economic reasons, for which it is necessary to establish mechanisms for the exemption of public fees and prices or compensation of these expenses to the beneficiaries, through grants and aid to the study. In this way, it can be inferred that the Constituent Assembly has established the obligation of the public authorities to establish a system of scholarships and aid to guarantee the right of all to education.
In this sense, the organic legislator has addressed these aspects, in compliance with his responsibility contained in article 81.1 of the Constitution "development of fundamental rights and public liberties", in the Article 6.3.h) of the Organic Law 8/1985, of 3 July, regulating the Right to Education, in article 45 of the Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, of Universities, and in Article 83 of the Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3, of Education. Through these provisions, grants and aid in the post-compulsory education have been set up as an essential element of the right to education which is based on a double principle: compensation for unfavourable socio-economic conditions. of its beneficiaries, and grant on the basis of school performance and performance. Finally, Article 2.bis.3.e) of Organic Law 8/2013 of 9 December for the improvement of educational quality defines the State System of Scholarships and Aid to the Study, as a guarantee of equal opportunities in access to education, as one of the instruments of the Spanish education system for the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 2 of the Organic Law 2/2006 of 3 May.
On the other hand, the additional provision of Law 24/2005, of 18 November, of reform for the impulse of productivity, established the direct grant to students of studies of the educational system, both university students, such as non-university students, grants and study grants to be awarded to the budgets of the Ministry of Education, for which no specific number of beneficiaries is set.
In this legal framework, Royal Decree 1721/2007 of 21 December 2007 establishing the system of grants and aid for the study of the system establishes the basic structural elements of the system: scholarships, academic and economic conditions, assumptions of incompatibility, revocation and reimbursement, and how many requirements, socioeconomic conditions or other factors are necessary to ensure equality in access to education. In any case, the determination of two quantitative parameters which, as a result of their cyclical nature, cannot be established in general terms, is different from an actual annual decree: the income and equity thresholds for which the loss determines of the right to obtain the grant or aid, and the amount of the various components and amounts of the grants and aid to the study.
The government is firmly committed to the social dimension of education and to a policy of scholarships and study aids that will ensure that no student leaves his or her studies for economic reasons, ensuring social cohesion and equal opportunities, for which the financial effort has been maintained despite the strict framework for the containment of public expenditure. But in addition to fulfilling its role of ensuring equal opportunities for all those who, having a vocation and skills for the study, lack the necessary economic means to undertake or pursue them, the policy of grants and grants The study should be an instrument of encouragement to improve the academic performance of students, especially students from the higher levels of the educational system.
For these purposes, important changes were introduced in the course of 2013-2014 in the system of scholarships that had been announced previously and which have shown positive effects in terms of the academic performance of the students in general and students in particular. This effect, especially among students at the higher levels of the educational system, is decided by the government to maintain this route of effort, responsibility and better academic performance, and thus strengthen equity and equality of opportunity to ensure that education contributes to social promotion, while ensuring the greater efficiency of the important public resources for the policy of grants and aid to the study.
Thus, this royal decree establishes for the academic year 2015-2016 the economic parameters of the scholarships and aids to the study of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and fixes its amounts, as well as the thresholds of patrimony and Family income above which the right to obtain it disappears while it comes to consolidate the model of scholarships implemented in the course 2013-2014, maintaining the modifications introduced in the course 2014-2015 that have been revealed positive, such as the new regulation of the grant components for those who pursue their studies in non-face-to-face mode, or the modulation of the percentage of credits that is necessary to be exceeded in order to consider that the grant has been allocated to the purpose for which it has been granted.
This royal decree has favorable reports from the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration. It has also been the subject of the opinion of the State School Council and the report of the Council of Universities and the Council of State University Students, and in its treatment the autonomous communities have been consulted through the Conference on Education and the General Conference on University Policy.
In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Education, Culture and Sport, in agreement with the State Council, and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 3 July 2015,
DISPONGO:
