The actions carried out by the COGITI led to the British Ministry of Education commissioning an independent report for the study of the degree in the Engineering Council, which has given rise to the fact that Spanish technical engineers are considered like Bachelors degree, instead of equating with Professional Training titles of two years, as it has happened so far.
The Spanish technical engineers who wish to work or continue their university education in the United Kingdom can be calm from now on:
His degree was finally equated to what he had to have been from the beginning, the Bachelor degree, on the other hand, were compared with a degree equivalent to Professional Training of two years, due to the mistaken comparison made by British Agency UK Naric.
This situation was causing serious damage to Spanish professionals, and full-fledged labor discrimination.
After the multiple meetings, managements and complaints presented by the General Council of Industrial Technical Engineering (COGITI), before the British and Spanish Ministries, and in the European Parliament, at last, it has been able to put an end to this flagrant discrimination .
The road to achieving this important resolution has been long and difficult. The turning point in this problem was the moment in which the British Ministry of Education was commissioned to commission an independent report for the study of the degree of Technical Engineer to the Engineer Council of UK, the UK regulatory body of the profession of engineer.
On November 13, the president of COGITI, José Antonio Galdón, was visited by this body. The meeting was the result of the effort made by COGITI in recent years to try to solve definitively a problem that was seriously harming the Spanish technical engineers, and even more if we consider the evasion of this group Professional to EU countries with engineers' deficit, as in the case of the United Kingdom.
The meeting was attended by Katty Turff and Andy Watson, from the Engineer Council of UK. In addition, the president of COGITI was accompanied by Gerardo Arroyo, Director of the European Office of the COGITI, Joan de Dios Alferes, on behalf of the European Federation of National Associations of Engineers (FEANI); Margarida Lezcano - Mújica and Belén Hernández, of the Secretary General of Titles and Recognition of Qualifications of the Ministry of Education, Carolina Jiménez, of the British Council Madrid, and Esteban Sánchez and Ramón Hernández, of the University of Salamanca, who explained the Plan Degree studies of industrial technical engineer.
With all the information recapitulated, the delegation of the Engineer Council of UK produced a report, to clarify the incorrect comparison of the title of Spanish Industrial Technical Engineer in the United Kingdom. This report issued the recommendation to consider Spanish Technical Engineers as a Bachelor Degree, which has now been accepted by UK UK Naric Agency, as established in its report "Evaluation of Catalan the Technical Engineer in the UK. Response to the Engineering Council UK report ". UK Naric is the National Agency that, on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom, is responsible for providing companies and universities with information regarding the equivalence in this country of degrees obtained outside their borders.
Numerous proceedings before the Commission and the European Parliament
Throughout the process, until reaching this favorable resolution, the COGITI has carried out numerous actions, including the complaint that he presented to the European Commission, so that an investigation was opened to find out if it was Breaching the Right to the Free Movement of Persons and Workers, as well as the right to access to education, as a result of the incorrect comparison that was made by the UK Naric of the title of Spanish Technical Engineer. The president of the COGITI also made a Petition to the European Parliament to require UK Naric to review the mentioned equation.
In addition, the president of the COGITI met in Brussels with the MEPs Carlos Iturgaiz (Committee of Petitions PE), Pablo Arias (Commission of Internal Market PE), and Verónica Lopez (Commission of Occupation PE), to transfer them, the problem In this way, the MEP
Pau Arias Echevarría presented a Parliamentary Question to the European Parliament, in which he urged the European Commission to ensure the correct equivalence of the title of Industrial Technical Engineer in the United Kingdom. On an individual basis, Spanish technical engineers who carry out their professional life in the United Kingdom, and guided by COGITI, also filed allegations before the European Commission for the incorrect comparison of their title.
Fortunately, all this effort and work has not been in vain. "This is an excellent news that fills us with satisfaction and optimism, which could not otherwise be eliminating the last obstacle that we had left to be considered top-ranking engineers across Europe," said José Antonio Galdón, at the same time, thanking all the involved parties for the enormous effort they have made to achieve them.
