A thousand students in Terrassa are preparing for the University Entrance Exams (PAU) next week, facing situations of stress and anxiety that can affect their mental health.

The proximity of the University Entrance Exams (PAU) generates significant pressure among students in Terrassa. Thousands of young people are immersed in preparing for these exams, which represent a crucial step for their academic and professional future. The anxiety and stress associated with selectivity are common feelings that can have a significant impact on adolescents' emotional well-being.
To address this situation, the Department of Research and Universities has launched the campaign "Take the PAU in peace". The main objective of this initiative is to promote students' emotional well-being and help mitigate the stress surrounding these exams.
The campaign aims to clarify that the PAU are not a measure of students' personal worth nor do they rank them. They are presented as the culmination of a training stage and a necessary step to access university studies. Furthermore, young people are reminded that the decisions made now are not final and will not irreversibly condition their academic and personal future.
