Education System In Spain?

Dick Baumgarten: The education system in Spain is great. Basically everything Frank said, Europe in general is better, but Spain especially. And what Tumbit said is crap, most shools in Spain are from 9 till 2pm (primary), so there are no school lunches. Secondary schools are usually 8 till 2.

Emile Okafor: OECD ranks Spain as 28th in the world, UK as 11th and USA as 17th. HDI reports (wiki) rate it 15th, well ahead of the UK at only 31st.There are no Spanish universities in the top hundred ranking, although Barcelona almost makes it.One reason for the conflicting figures is that Spain is different. And there are Regional differences. That means it is like 'the Curate's Egg'. By the way, the kids (not the peques in some schools) go to school in the afternoon here too! It can be a long day, 9 to 5. Some schools actually serve lunches. Also this thing about being ahead. Teacher friends of mine say that this only appears to be so.

Nowdays, reckoning on the college you're studing, you could substitute into an remarkable pupil with an remarkable destiny or have very extreme possibilities of becaming an entire ignorant. it is astonishing how numerous scholars bypass to college spelling incorrect and not having the minimmum point of arithmetic asked, working example. Excuse my English. "An English pupil"...Show more

Cordia Fivecoat: Education is Spain is excellent with Spain ranking in the top ten in the world. It is the highest in old Europe behind only Norway (#6) and Finland (#8) in the world.http://www.prosperity.com/Subindexes-4.aspxIf you exclude university education, Spain ranks higher than most wester! n systems (#5 in the world). My youngest children’s, secondary system, teaches in grade 7 what my USA educated older children learned in grade 10. While all my children are of equal intelligence, those educated in Spain far exceeded (year wise) their compatriots in the USA.But that is just a personal experience from a father that spent thousands of dollars on private education in the USA and got much more from public education in Europe....Show more
