In compliance with the provisions of the Article 10.7 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for ensuring its quality, the Technical Commission for Credit Recognition of the Faculty of Education has decided to update the Credit Recognition Table for the Degree in Early Childhood Education. For the 2024/25 academic year, the number of recognizable credits from the Higher Vocational Training Cycle in Early Childhood Education is a maximum of 48 ECTS (table published in July 2024). Consequently, Students who have begun their studies in the Degree of Teacher in Early Childhood Education before the 2024/25 academic year, and have had subjects recognized that appeared in recognition tables prior to the current one, will not be able to obtain new recognitions, if the maximum number of 48 recognized credits is exceeded from the Higher Vocational Training Cycle of Early Childhood Education.

In July 2024, the Faculty of Education's Technical Committee for Credit Recognition established that the maximum number of recognizable credits from the Advanced Vocational Training Course in Early Childhood Education is 48 ECTS. This limit has been determined within the margin established by Article 9.2 of the new regulations, published on October 7, 2024, which establishes a proportion of no less than 15% (36 ECTS) and no more than 25% (60 ECTS).
