523 students sat the first of these pre-university exams yesterday
8 june 2023
Adeje is hosting over 1,000 students who are currently taking the EBAU exams, (Evaluation of the Bachillerato for Access to University), with the sessions being held in the Las Torres pavilion and the Adeje centre for participation. The Adeje mayor, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, called into the exam centre yesterday to be there for the start of the first paper, commenting that the facilities given by Adeje to the exam board were meeting the demands of students in the south (up until recently there only exam centre was in the north of the island).
The first day was without incident, with students sitting papers in 13 different classrooms, with enough space to concentrate on these important pre-university exams. The first papers were in Spanish language and literature, non-Spanish language papers, and Spanish history for science students. Today Arts, Humanities, and Social Science students take the same subjects.
On Friday June 9th, there will be papers in Maths, Chemistry, Design, the History of Philosophy, Audio-visual culture, Physics, Geography, Applied Maths in Social Sciences, Latin, and Art. Saturday’s exams are in Drama, Greek, Geology, Technical Drawing, Business Economics, Art History, and Biology.
Exam days begin at 8.30 when students present their credentials, with the sessions themselves starting at 9.15 and 3.30 each day. Each exam is approximately 90 minutes in duration.
