THE SPANISH EDUCATION SYSTEM
COMPULSORY EDUCATION
Education is compulsory and free between 6 and 16 years old. (From 0 to 6 years of age, parents decide if they want to take the children to school or not.)
STAGES
TYPES OF SCHOOLS
There are three types of schools: - State schools - Private schools - State-financed but privately-owned schools
HOLIDAYS
The Spanish school year starts in mid-September and ends in the third week of June.
There is usually a break of two weeks or so at Christmas and about a week at Easter.
There are no half-term holidays as such, but there are short breaks throughout the year which are organised around national, regional and local saints’ days and festivals.
HOMEWORK
In primary school, homework is at the discretion of individual class teachers, but may be given from the first year of primary school onward. It is usually assumed that parents will be involved in helping children with their homework, and parents who are unable to do this for any reason sometimes pay for tutors to help their children for an hour or so every evening.
At secondary school there is usually a fairly heavy load of homework and exam studying which require considerable sacrifice and self-discipline on the part of students who wish to do well at school.
TIMETABLE
There are two kinds of timetables, a divided day which allows at least two hours for lunch, or the innovation of the jornada continua, a blocked day which finishes in the early afternoon. Many public secondary schools have now adopted this blocked-day timetable, and teenagers are free from about 3 p.m. every day. Grant-assisted and private schools, however, have classes until the early evening several days a week.
