Will the university be the salvation? This is the central question the article raises, questioning the role and current effectiveness of higher education. The text argues that reform in higher education is an urgent necessity, proposing that courses with low employability be identified. Once these courses are identified, the article argues that it is necessary to drastically reduce their slots, in order to direct students toward training more aligned with labor market needs. The central message is that the university system needs to undergo significant changes to truly serve as a path of salvation for young people.

However, this latest change in the plenary does not seem to open, at least for now, the door to a negotiation to approve the 2026 municipal budget, presented at the beginning of the year by the PP executive (which governs in minority with eight councilors) and which continues without the necessary support for its approval.
