The students of Informatics, on strike to defend their titles

The students of Informatics are on a war footing in Spain today and bring it with a demonstration of relevance that will traverse the streets of the Centro, in Malaga. The reason for the protests: the Computer Engineering, despite being a college career for 18 years, is still not regulated and no evidence has assigned professional skills, so that graduates are faced with a great intrusion on the part of those who know three or four things in Windows or those who have studied other career related to new technologies. In Spain are approximately 200,000 students or professionals of Computing who are directly harmed by this vacuum of authority. In the School of Informatics of the UMA studying about 1,500 students and all are called to strike. In fact, teachers support this call and suspend classes to make it easier to attend the event, which starts at 12:00 in the Plaza de la Constitution, all university students who want it. Students also have the support of the Conference of Deans and Directors of Campus Computing (CODDI), which requests the Government to regulate the professions of Engineering and Diploma in Computer Science as a pathway to the future and master's degrees in this area have the same treatment as the rest of engineering. Deans and directors. The dean Malaga, José María Troy, explains that although for years have been asking for this regulation, however, has precipitate around with the convergence of the academic curriculum with the new European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process), as the Government has Skipped tab of powers that should correspond to the Engineering and have been assigned to the Telecommunications Engineering. That is, not only because it is not to this degree as the rest of engineering, but the Ministry of Industry takes off his powers to give to other professionals with other qualifications. The title, therefore, lost all its value. And against this show students, convened today in the country. Julia Simon Sanchez, representative of the students of the School of Informatics of the UMA, reported that the interest is very strong among all students because it is correct this wrong, and which foresees a massive attendance at the rally today.
