Forty first-year psychology students at UCLouvain finally passed their 60 credits in June. That is much more than the 4 first announced. Last Friday, as part of the controversy over a “kill” in psychology, UCLouvain indeed specified that a correction error was being corrected and that the results would therefore be revised upwards. It’s done. 169 others have validated at least 45 credits and are therefore also admitted to BA2, the University of Leuven nuanced on Tuesday.
In addition, a majority of students (64%) out of the 751 registered gave an attendance note, said the press officer of the institution. She specifies that 36% have passed a good part of their exam session.
For their part, the Federation of French-Speaking Students (FEF) and the General Assembly of Louvain Students (AGL) are calling for more human and financial resources to ensure “innovative and adequate” educational supervision and evaluations. They also want real public refinancing of higher education and a review of the current method of budget allocation by closed envelope.
Valérie Glatigny, Minister of Higher Education, recalled that she was planning 50 million euros more this year to improve student supervision, 70 million more in 2023 and 80 million more each year from 2024. to success will be increased by 83 to 89 million euros per year, underlined his cabinet. They will be mainly intended for students in difficulty. The minister spoke with the academic authorities of UCLouvain regarding the situation, the cabinet added. If the success rate remains very low at the end of the three sessions, a new meeting will take place, he concluded.
Friday, the Comac, student organization of the PTB, had created a controversy by publishing a particularly low success rate in BA1 psycho at UCLouvain, figures that were immediately disputed by the university.
