SPANISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

SPANISH POLITICAL AND TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION The Spanish Constitution of 1978 states which competencies are autonomous for each region and which come under the Spanish State. Each region has legislative autonomy and executive competences, and they administer themselves by their own representatives. There are 17 Autonomous Regions, the Valencian Autonomous Community is one of them, and has 3 Autonomous Cities: Valencia, Castellón and Alicante.

DECENTRALIZED MODEL OF EDUCATION DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES IN EDUCATION CENTRAL GOVERNMENT Central government retains responsibility for the general organization of the Education System - Minimum requirements for schools - Establishment of common educational standards - General planning of education and regulation of academic and professional qualifications - International cooperation in education, etc.

AUTONOMOUS REGIONS - Administrative responsibility within their territories - Creation and authorization of institutions - Staff management - Curriculum development - Student guidance and support - Financial support and aids, etc.

SCHOOLS LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE -Schools are autonomous in organisational, educational and financial matters. -The aim of such autonomy is to achieve a better adaptation and better use of allocated resources, as well as to facilitate a model of educational action which best meets the students needs and the characteristics of the school environment. -Provision of sites for building public institutions, maintenance and refurbishment of pre-primary and primary schools - Planning extracurricular and supplementary activities - Monitoring compulsory schooling, etc.

All non-university state education is free, and the government pays part of the children's books in the primary education. With the new policies of restriction, it is probable that this changes next school year.
