In these times of crisis, leaving many current politicians saying we should start to reduce public spending ... that too many officials ... to be raising taxes ... etc etc
But make no mistake, the reality of all the public money currently spent outside the knowledge of most of us. In
always been known that much public money goes to the cronies in charge with, or for so-called plugged.
"plugs" have always existed in Spain. But now I see with surprise that is no longer a hidden track on the back of legislation that attempts to situations of equality to all citizens, and has spent, in these times of crisis, to be somewhat regulated by the rules of turn.
And all this happened to write because I have seen in the BOE of 30 December 2009 a call for a scholarship a bit peculiar. Know if the calls for this scholarship are also always equal to this, but explained the details: Whether it's a
"scholarships for English and Latin American citizens to further study art at the Academy of Spain in Rome, in collaboration with the Rafael del Pino, academic year 2010-2011 ".
"The Academy of Spain in Rome is an institution of the State General Administration of the primary aims contribute to the formation of creative arts and humanities, restorers and researchers with the purpose derived from greater presence of English culture in Italy, a better understanding of the cultures of both countries and greater cultural links between Europe and Latin America. The call for these scholarships to English and Latin American citizens to further study art at the Academy of Spain in Rome, in collaboration with the Fundación Rafael del Pino, is an essential tool to help achieve the objectives of the Academy. "
says the call for this scholarship: "The call for this is to finance, for the subsidy, the costs involved in staying at the Academy of Spain in Rome of creators, researchers, restorers for English and Latin American studies, or development of projects in it. "
" The duration of Grants will be from 1 October 2010 to June 30, 2011, for calendar quarters cumulative.
Scholarships awarded by the President of the English Agency for International Development grant applications under budget for the years 2010 and 2011 of the Development Cooperation Program 12.401.143A. 486.02 for programs MAEC-AECI, with amounts 26,900 euros and 37,800 euros , respectively, and the Programme of Cooperation, Promotion and Cultural Diffusion 12.402.144A Abroad. 481.00 for scholarships, with amounts of 58,240 euros and 107,380 euros, respectively, with the grant conditional on the existence of adequate and sufficient budgetary provision for two years. "
" The economic conditions of this call are following:
monthly allocation:
1,200 euros per month.
Accommodation at the Academy of Spain in Rome, without maintenance.
Travel Assistance: Refund only for travel assistance amounting to 700 euros . "
The truth is that economically it's not bad scholarship.
For the main course is now: " Assessment of applications ":
The academic-professional curriculum of the applicant, attesting to their level of excellence and leadership potential in their area of \u200b\u200bactivity (2 points).
His interest in cultural and scientific relations of Spain exterior (3 points).
Memory proposed study project for the scholarship (2 points).
guarantees are valued by the applicant by two academics and institutional (3 points).
Take Now!. The more or less quantifiable criteria (which of course are always subject to the subjectivity of the court) such as the curriculum and the project worth 40% of the note. While "interest" that do not quite know how to measure that is worth 30% and the recommendations, or plug, another 30%. Also clearly says that the recommendation may be of academic personality, or institutional (ie, that a mayor, or any high political office applies to recommend someone for this scholarship).
