A student in Gipuzkoa has criticized the rigid Lanbide training system, which penalizes medical emergencies and family care with attendance limits, advocating for technological solutions like the Mirror Classroom.

A student, after being prescribed 48 hours of rest due to a medical emergency, has raised concerns about the excessive rigidity of Lanbide's training system. She reports that attendance hours do not stop for justified absences, potentially leading to student expulsion if the 25% limit is exceeded, regardless of prior effort or justifications.

"We are not asking for 'leniency'; we are asking for technology to serve reconciliation and not to punish those with family responsibilities or health problems."

This situation creates anxiety about the student's professional future, who emphasizes that with current technology, such as the Mirror Classroom, solutions should be available. This would allow students to connect with their classes in real-time from home or the hospital in duly justified cases of force majeure.
The student has launched a petition on Change.org to update this regulation to today's social reality. The initiative aims to support all individuals striving for progress who encounter administrative barriers, especially those with family responsibilities or health issues.
