CASTILLA-LA MANCHA SPAIN

HIGHLIGHTS Spain’s educational context

Students: • 100% enrolment in early childhood education • Comprehensive education until age 16 • Grade repetition• Enrolment in VET is lower than the OECD average • Dropout rates

Institutions: • Spanish learning environments positive • The ratio of students per teacher below the OECD average • Principals • Evaluation and assessment

Governance and funding:• Education objectives are aligned to EU 2020 priorities. • Most schooling decisions are taken at the regional level • Limited autonomy for individual schools

Key policy issues

• Spanish system-level policies such as grade repetition have the potential to impair equity and contribute to student dropout.

• High dropout and youth unemployment rates : efforts to consolidate basic skills and better match labour market needs, focusing on quality of education and provision of vocational education and training

• Schools require sustained support to respond to the rapid and large increase in the proportion of immigrant children they have experienced.

• Given the on-going crisis and recent budget cuts, Spain faces a major challenge as it strives to continue delivering and raising the quality of education and skills

Recent policy responses

• Spain aims to promote education improvement, mainly through a new law, the Organic Law for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE, 2013).

• To reduce dropout:

• a range of targeted programmes available• and a new dual VET system (2012) combination of training with

employment

EQUITY AND QUALITY: EARLY START IN EDUCATION BUT BARRIERS TO EQUITY AND HIGH DROPOUT RATE

• Highest early childhood education enrolment rates among OECD countries • Comprehensive education until the end of lower secondary education

• Policies low socio-economic status to attend their preferred school

• Grade repetition is also largely used: about one out of three students (35%) have repeated a grade at least once by age 15.

grade repetition is ineffective in improving outcomes can contribute to dropout can be costly to the system about 30% of students in lower secondary education in Spain do

not graduate with the certificate necessary to access upper secondary education
