#Baccalaureate [#Education]() #Literature [#Catalonia]() #Curriculum # Mandatory Baccalaureate readings to return 24 September 2026 at 14:49 > The Government will restore compulsory literary canons for students from the 2027-2028 academic year to improve learning standards. The Government is set to restore mandatory readings for the **Baccalaureate** from the 2027-2028 academic year. Consellera Esther Niubó presented the measure within a new learning improvement guide from the Departament d'Educació, covering reading and mathematics. The guide includes practices for orality, debates, and handwriting. Mandatory texts will be drawn from the Catalan and Spanish literary canons, reversing changes made under the Lomloe **curriculum** which previously removed common prescriptive lists for students. Language teachers had protested the removal of these readings and reduced subject hours. While the 2025 university entrance exams were the first to exclude common book questions, this new guidance aims to formalise literary requirements across the curriculum. ## Related news ![Rodalies delays hit Catalonia rail network]() #Rodalies [#Renfe]() [#Catalonia]() #BarcelonaTransport #TrainStrikes 8 November 2026 at 16:10 ## [Rodalies delays hit Catalonia rail network]() > Operational incidents and driver shift disputes cause widespread disruption across Renfe lines ahead of planned strikes this week.
