Spain:Overview

Spain:Overview
The Spanish education system It comprises the education authorities, education professionals and other public and private actors who perform regulatory, financing or service provision functions for the exercise of the right to education in Spain, and those entitled to such a right, as well as the set of relations, structures, measures and actions being implemented in order to ensure it. It is in the early stages of a reform process since the Act on the Improvement of the Quality of Education, which modifies, to a limited extent, the 2006 Education Act, was passed in 2013. The reform, on a general framework of stability, is presented as an ongoing process as weaknesses are detected or new needs arise in the education system. This reform recognises the need to combine quality and equity in the training provision, considering that school enrolment is not enough to meet the right to education, but quality is a constituent element of that right. Pre-primary education is up to 6 years of age.

Spain:Organisation of Primary Education In order to guarantee the principle of equity in the exercise of the right to Education established by the 1978 Spanish Constitution, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport has historically determined the need to develop preventing and compensatory actions in those underprivileged areas, and to provide the economic resources and all the necessary support. On this manner inequalities derived from geographical, social, economic or other kind factors are avoided, and families can choose the preferred educational option for their children, regardless their place of residence. The Education Authorities are responsible for carrying out these actions, guaranteeing primary education students a free school place in their own municipality or schooling area, as well the most favourable conditions for the schooling of all the children whose personal conditions mean an initial inequality for progressing in the subsequent levels. Primary Education caters for children from 6 to 12 years old.

Spain:Administration and Governance at Local and/or Institutional Level The 1978 Spanish Constitution established a model of decentralised State by which educational powers are shared between all levels of government. It is a symmetrical model, where the educational powers exercised are basically the same in each and every Autonomous Community. The competences in terms of education are shared between the State General Authority (Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport) and the Autonomous Communities (Regional Ministries or Departments of Education). In the Autonomous Cities of Ceuta and Melilla these competences are assumed by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport itself. The role of local authorities is focused on educational management through the Education Departments or Municipal Education Institutes.
