Exclude or prioritize students from public and private universities when it comes to performing their health practices in public schools seems to come to an end.

The Constitutional Court establishes that it is unconstitutional to make differences between both university students at the time of exercising their right to practical training, as it has made public by repealing the veto of the Consell de Valencia to the university practices of private students in public hospitals , declaring that aspect of the Valencian Health Law null and void.

This collected the exclusivity of the students of the public universities in the use of hospitals and public centers for the realization of sanitary practices.

The appeal of unconstitutionality was presented by more than 50 senators of the Popular Parliamentary Group of the Senate on the grounds that "the Generalitat has violated the fundamental rights to equality, to the freedom of creation of educational centers, to the freedom of choice of teaching center and the duty to help the schools ".

This news has implication in the Region of Murcia, where something similar happens to the case of Valencia.

The Ministry denounced the current agreement that existed with respect to the practices in the hospitals of the Region, and issued a new current concert- that gives exclusivity to the use of the hospitals of the capital to the students of the public, being the Morales Meseguer, Reina Sofía and La Arrixaca linked to the University of Murcia, and those of Cartagena (Santa Lucía and Rosell) and Lorca (Rafael Méndez) to the UCAM.

The San Antonio Catholic University was forced to sign this agreement, even knowing that it violated the rights of its students, so as not to leave them without practices, since the judicial resolution would take months and the damage to the students would have been irreparable

deprive them of their right to practice.

This was publicly denounced by José Luis Mendoza, president of the UCAM, after the signing of the agreement, and which he continues to maintain now, now, guaranteed by the law that the Constitutional Court has made public.

"It is very serious because they do not respect the rights of citizens who are forced to go outside of Murcia to do proper practices in medicine and move to 70, 80 and up to 90 kilometers.We will fight with all weapons so that carry out injustices of this kind and respect our rights, "said Mendoza.

On the other hand, Jerónimo Lajara, dean of the School of Health Sciences of the Catholic Church, points out that the decision taken by the Ministry has seriously damaged the students of San Antonio Catholic University and society in general.

The ruling of the Constitutional in its legal foundations, says that the basic state regulations refers generically to the "universities", "without any distinction between some universities and others." In addition, the special relevance that, for the educational training of the future or of the professionals of the Health Sciences, has the practices in health institutions "

It also states that the basic rules "do not make any distinction between public or private universities when establishing links between university and health institutions", stating that only "the different instrument to be used to establish the agreements is established". , distinguishing between the modality of the concert, for the universities of public ownership, and that of the agreement for those of private ownership ".

Regarding this sentence, Jerónimo Lajara states that it recognizes that all students are equal.

"And obviously not only affects the Valencian community, where students from private universities are thrown out of public hospitals, but it also affects all the Autonomous Regions, specifically the Region of Murcia, because in 2009, a regional decree legislated that the students of public universities had preference with respect to those of the private universities ", he assures, adding that" we already said in his day that it was clearly unconstitutional, that it clashed with the Royal Decree of 2010 of equality of university students, and not We hope that after this ruling of the Constitutional Court in the Regional Government they will withdraw their decree, which evidently has been shown to be unconstitutional.
