| SELECTION CRITERIA FOR INTERMEDIATE AND HIGHER LEVEL STUDENTS: |

It is compulsory for 2nd year students to have passed all the modules of the 1st evaluation of the academic year 2021-22. Students who have recently graduated must provide the certificate of marks of the modules of the Cycle. This can be requested from the school secretary’s office.

Other lower CEFR levels will be taken into account in the event of a tie (A1). The interview in English or, if possible, in the language of the country of destination for the FCT, is a maximum of 5.0 points, and fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and pronunciation will be assessed (Very good: 1.25 points; Good: 1.0 point; Fair: 0.75 points; Limited: 0.5 points). 3.- Interest and degree of maturity of the pupil (1-35 points) which will be assessed through: 3.1 the Statement of Purpose submitted by the student in his/her APPLICATION to the coordinators (1-10 points). 3.2 Report drawn up by the pupil’s tutor in collaboration with the pupil’s teachers (1-10 points).

The maximum score to be obtained would be 60 points . (Except for recent graduates, which is 50). |
| For all: |
All participating students must provide an updated COVID CERTIFICATE. Any student who has failed to comply with the programme in previous years or who has had a negative evaluation in his/her participation (even if this has not entailed any other type of penalty in the past) will not be allowed to participate. The application of any participant who does not reach the minimum scores in any section of the scale or for any other reason considered by the Erasmus team may be rejected. Students who do not hand in the documentation on time and do not get actively involved in the tasks to be carried out during the mobility, will lose the preference in favour of those who do, regardless of the score obtained in the selection process. Applicants will be ranked in order of the marks obtained after adding all the sections together. In the event of a tie, the mark in the first section will be used. If there is still a tie, the mark in the second section will be used, and so on. As many students will be selected as there are scholarships available, provided that there are enough students who meet the requirements. If any of the selected students resigns from the Programme, the next student on the list with the highest score will be selected. In case of a tie in all the sections, a public draw will be held to determine the final order. Priority will ALWAYS be given to students who have not previously received a mobility grant (PAP or Erasmus+) to do the FCTs module, whether they are enrolled in the 2nd year or have recently graduated. You can participate in a MAXIMUM of 2 Mobility activities, including all levels of education. This is important because the SEPIE will sanction the interested party legally and financially if this requirement is not met. |
