Spain’s school system consists of 5 levels of education, 0-6, 6-12, 12-16, 16-18, 19- and up. In primary school (ages 6-12) students have three cycles, 6-8, 8-10, and 10-12. In Compulsory Secondary Education (ages 12-16) there are two cycles, 12-14, and 14-16. In Spanish Baccalaureate (16 and up) students have to meet multiple requirements to pass such as foreign language and other normal requirements that we face every day in our education. In the 1980’s, Spain spent about 8% of its national budget on education. This means that the kids of Spain probably were not very well educated. Also in the 1980’s, 40% of the schools were private, just over half were run by the Roman Catholic Church. In Spain students 16 and up are required to have three arts, and have many humanitie courses like Spanish history. To go to college in Spain students must have a passport, a filled application form, 2 ID sized photographs, a student Visa, health insurance, and a receipt of fee payment. Spain’s education system is similar to ours because they have three grade levels, and we have elementary, middle, and high school. It could be different because it seems like they split up their high scholars into two different age groups (12-16, 16-18). A typical day in Spain’s education would be mostly similar to ours, only different climate and different age groups. I would rather stay in America to attend school because our government spends more funds on the education system. If I were allowed to change one thing about Spain’s education system, it would be the use of funds to spend on textbooks and other learning necessities.
