The students, from Torre Vicens and Joan Oró high schools, were part of the Amancio Ortega Foundation scholarship program. Although they completed their studies months ago, the Department of Education has yet to officially validate their grades, citing a technical error from last October.

Without official validation, these high-achieving students are being offered a provisional grade of 5.0, which could severely impact their chances of entering competitive university degrees. Families are now considering legal action or contacting the Ombudsman to resolve the situation before the registration deadline.
