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.
There are 17 Autonomous Regions, the Valencian
Autonomous Community is one of them, and has 3
Autonomous Cities: Valencia, Castellón and
Alicante.
Each region has legislative autonomy and
executive competences, and they administer
themselves by their own representatives.
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.
LOCAL
ADMINISTRATIVE
-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.
SCHOOLS
-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.
