The People's Party (PP) registered a bill on Wednesday to create a new private university, promoted by ADEMA, to be called the University of Mallorca. The party requested its urgent processing, arguing that the educational needs of students in the Balearic Islands must be addressed as soon as possible. The PP stated that this procedure follows up on the request submitted to the Balearic Islands Government's Ministry of Education and Universities, which initiated a process that was then transferred to the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sport. The Ministry has already issued the required report necessary to move the process forward. "We support the development of new university projects with the aim of expanding the higher education options in the Islands," the party stated. "It is necessary to offer more academic options to students in the Balearic Islands and thus make it easier for young people to pursue their university studies without having to leave the Autonomous Community," they added. "This helps to reduce the impact of costs stemming from the island factor and encourages young talent to train and settle in the Islands," the PP points out.
