Presentation The National Statistics Institute, in its series of publications Education Statistics in Spain has been offering annually since the academic year 1945/46 up to 1984/85, statistics corresponding to all education levels included in the Spanish education system. As of the year 1985/86, based on Ministerial Order of 5 November 1985, the Ministry of Education and Science assumed, in agreement with the National Statistics Institute, the functions to collect, process and publish statistical results from non-advanced levels. With the objective of offering a panorama of the Spanish education system in University Education, the evolution of the main variables from all studies making them up are presented in the chapter annual series. The Institute is pleased to express their appreciation to the universities and other university education centres that, with the completion of the questionnaires, have made it possible to obtain the results presented here. Carmen Alcaide INE President Introduction The education system I The legislative framework in which the Spanish education system is included has as its basic regulations the Spanish Constitution of 1978, the General Education Law and Financing of the Educational Reform of 1970 (GEL), Organic Law 8/1995 Regulating the Right to Education (OLRE), Organic Law of General Ordering of the Education System of 1990 (OLGOES) and Organic Law 6/2001 of universities. Within this voluntary level child education is imparted regulated by the LOGSE and is structured into two cycles, the first up to 3 years of age and the second from 3 to 6 years of age. II PRIMARY EDUCATION (OLGOES) This includes six academic courses, grouped into three cycles of two courses in each one and are taught from the ages of six to twelve. Based on these laws, the education system is structured into five levels and other type of education modalities. The different education levels are the following: G.E.L. CHILD EDUCATION (O.L.G.O.E.S.) III INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION/SECONDARY EDUCATION AND INTERMEDIATE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING (OLGOES) III.1 Obligatory Secondary Education (OLGOES) O.L.G.O.E.S. - They teach. Teaching - regime. General Common Regime . Preschool Educa. Child Educa. . Basic general education (discontinued) education . This completes the basic education and covers four academic years, between twelve and sixteen years of age. There are two cycles with two courses for each one. At the end of the studies, having achieved the objectives, the qualification of graduate in secondary education is obtained which facilitates accessing the school leaving examination and intermediate professional training and plastic arts training cycles. In the contrary case, the student receives accreditation where the courses studied and qualifications obtained are noted. Primary . Secondary education Obligatory . Intermediate education. .

Specialities . University Education III.2 . Special Education This includes two academic courses, normally taught between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. - Special Education School leaving exam studies are accessed with the degree of graduate in obligatory secondary education.

Artistic. . Artistic Education . Language Education . Permanent Educa of Adults School leaving exam (OLGOES) . Education of Persons Adults III.3 A. General Education Regimes Specific intermediate professional training (OLGOES) 3 These studies are accessed with the graduate in secondary education qualification or by passing a test regulated by the education administrations. At the end of the studies the qualification of technician in the corresponding profession is obtained, which facilitates access to the school leaving exam. IV ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IV.1 Training cycles level(OLGOES) Professional, advanced The school leaving qualification is accessed by means of a test regulated by the education administrations. The student body that passes these exams obtains the qualification of advanced technician for the corresponding profession. This qualification facilitates direct access, without entrance test to certain university education related to the professional training courses being studied. To carry out the said tests students must choose one of the four options (A, B, C, D) which are related to the subjects studied for post-secondary non-higher education. On the other hand, within the framework of the reform of the Spanish education system set down by the OLGOES, the university entrance tests for students who study school leaving education set down in said law are regulated. Five options were implemented with respect to the school leaving exam modality taught. As a novelty to the reform proposed by the OLGOES, it is worth highlighting the creation of the new arts option and the possibility for the student, of taking more than one option. The definitive mark for the UEAT is the weighting obtained between the global qualification of the exercises and the average of the total marks of the student body in BUP and university orientation or school leaving courses. University education is structured into three cycles: 1st cycle university education, with a duration of three years (minimum 180 credits). V. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION This includes the majority of advanced level education and is accessed after passing the university orientation course, the OLGOES and/or entrance tests carried out by the universities themselves or having passed the advanced level training cycles or the tests for students over the age of 25. They are imparted in the following education centres. University departments, faculties and advanced technical departments. 4 At the end the qualification technical architect, technical engineer or graduate is obtained. Once these studies are finished the 2nd cycle of other studies may be accessed directly or after studying some complementary courses. 1st cycle and 2nd cycle university education with a duration of 4, 5 or 6 years (minimum 300 credits). The 1st cycle has a duration of 2 or three years, the same as the 2nd cycle. Students who wish to access faculties, technical or advanced schools or university departments must, after obtaining a positive evaluation in the university orientation course or school leaving examination OLGOES, some aptitude tests set down by the government at the request of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. - 2nd cycle university education, of 2 years duration (minimum 120 credits). These university entrance aptitude tests (UEAT) have the object, apart from evaluating the maturity of the student, of valuing specific knowledge that may serve as an objective criteria to study certain university studies. Passing the third year with the prior writing and approval of a thesis, carries with it the right to a Doctor's title. These studies are accessed after obtaining the qualification of graduate, engineer or architect. Those who finish their first and second cycle studies or just second cycle obtain the qualification of architect, engineer or graduate. - Third cycle university education. Doctorate studies are two years in duration. necessary to have the school leaving qualification or to have passed the intermediate grade and to have passed the established tests. The advanced degree in the corresponding speciality will be equivalent for all intents and purposes to a university diploma. B. Special regime education The following are special regime education: Artistic and language education. I ARTISTIC EDUCATION They correspond both to the so called specialised education in the G.E.L. as well as OLGOES Artistic Education. I.1 I.3 Higher studies for the conservation and restoration of cultural, ceramic, design and glass goods. They are considered as advanced studies. The student that passes these studies will obtain the corresponding qualification equivalent for all intents and purposes to the degree of university graduate. Music and dance (OLGOES) This is structured into three grades, elementary (4 courses), intermediate (6 courses) and advanced (4 courses). The elementary grade is accessed by means of a criteria established by the education administrations; at the end of the studies the corresponding certificate is received. To access intermediate grade a specific test needs to be passed. at the end of the studies the professional qualification for the corresponding education will be handed out. To access the advanced grade the school leaving qualification is required, intermediate grade should have been passed as well as a specific entrance test. at the end of the studies the student will have the right to an advanced qualification in the corresponding speciality which will be equivalent to the degree of university graduate. I.2 I.4 II LANGUAGES This education is imparted in the Official Languages School. To access these tests it is necessary to have the qualification of school graduate, education or primary studies certificate or to have studied the first cycle of obligatory secondary education. The first level of this education is structured in two cycles: Elementary (3 years) and advanced (2 years). The students who pass the elementary cycle are given the corresponding academic certification. Students who pass the advanced cycle are given a certificate of aptitude. Dramatic art (OLGOES) Objectives This includes four courses; to access this education the school leaving qualification is required and a specific test has to be passed. At the end of the studies the degree of advanced art degree is obtained, equivalent to university graduate. The main objective of this publication consists in discovering the most relevant characteristics of the student body, teachers and centres, which facilitates obtaining a general vision of the scope and volume of advanced level teaching in Spain, which includes higher education and other higher education equivalent to university. Plastic arts and design training cycles (OLGOES) They are organised in specific intermediate and advanced training cycles. To access the intermediate training cycles it is necessary to be in possession of the secondary education graduate qualification and to pass some tests. To access the advanced level cycles it will be Similarly, said information will serve as a base for the completion of the questionnaires for international institutions. In order to facilitate international comparability the different concepts have been adapted to international definitions wherever possible. On the other hand and with the object of offering a joint vision of higher education, series of all studies are presented, the Ministry of Edu- 5 cation, Culture and Sport being the information source of OLGOES artistic studies (advanced level). II . Population: This extends to all centres irrespective of type and class. . Territorial: This includes the whole country. Methodology I SCOPE OF THE STATISTIC . Time period: The reference period is annual and all the data correspond to the academic year 2001/2002. Exceptionally, the series of students who finished their studies refers to the year 2001. ANALYSIS UNITS These are education centres where advanced education is imparted. In the case of universities, these are those where official studies are imparted and corresponding qualifications handed out. With respect to the chapter dedicated to university entrance tests the information that is presented corresponds to the tests carried out in the 2002 convocation. III LIST AND DEFINITION OF EDUCATION CHARACTERISTICS UNIVERSITY The following are collected as identification data: denomination, dependence (public, private or other public institutions), their postal address and university to which they belong. a. Type of centre The centres that are considered are: - University faculties: Three university cycles are studied in these centres. Students who pass the first and second cycle obtain the qualification of graduate and may access the third cycle. Passing this is conditional on a positive assessment of the doctoral thesis which accords the title of Doctor. - Advanced Technical Faculties: Three cycles are studied in these faculties. After passing the first two cycles the qualification of architect or engineer is obtained. Students who carry out the third cycle obtain the degree of Doctor after the positive evaluation of a doctoral thesis. - University Faculties: First cycle studies are taken in these faculties. Passing this accords the title of graduate, technical architect or technical engineer. b. Type of centre Centres may be public or private according to whether they depend on a public institution (state or Autonomous Community) or not, 6 independent of the origin of their economic resources. rolled on doctoral courses according to the qualifications that the student possesses classified by areas of knowledge as well as doctoral theses which have been approved. Distinction is made, for university education: - Public centres: These are public centres that make up the public universities. Elaboration of the statistic - Public institution centres: These are public centres attached to public universities. - Private centres: These are centres integrated into private universities and the church or attached to public universities. I The National Statistical Institute has directories of both of universities, with their respective centres, as well as of higher education centres which are equivalent to universities. These directories are updated from sections of law to create or delete centres as well as the data provided by informants when the questionnaires are collected. c. Study This is a type of tertiary education that leads to an official advanced qualification which is valid in the whole country. For each study program, the government, at the request of the University Coordination Council should establish the corresponding qualification as well as the general guidelines on the syllabus that should be taken to obtain them and convalidate them (art. 34 of the Organic Law on Universities). SURVEY FRAMEWORK II QUESTIONNAIRES There are different questionnaire models according to the different study centres: It is worth highlighting, within university studies, the first cycle (short cycle), first and second cycle (long cycle), solely the second cycle and third cycle, each case leading to a type of university qualification (see annex 2). - Higher education (1st and 2nd year) d. Teacher. - Military education (basic, intermediate and advanced). This is an employed person, even on a part time basis, for the purposes of transmitting knowledge, aptitudes, etc. The universities teaching body is made up of teaching civil servants from the body of university professors, qualified university lecturers, university faculty and qualified lecturers as well as contracted teaching personnel whose categories are Associate, Visiting and Emeritus Professor, University Assistant, Doctoral Assistant, Collaborator and Contracted Doctoral Professor in the public universities and teaching personnel contracted by private centres. e. Student This is the person enrolled and/or registered in an education program. Data on enrolled students is collected by course, gender, age and studies as well as the newly enrolled students and students who have finished their studies. With respect to the third cycle of university education, data are collected on students en- - Doctorate (3rd year) - Tourism schools - University entrance tests In said questionnaires all the necessary information relative to the teaching body, enrolled student body and student body who have finished their studies is covered. III COLLECTION OF INFORMATION Questionnaires are sent by mail to each university and to each higher education school, including a list of the centres on which information is held, whether they are independent or registered with the object of updating the said list. As the completed questionnaires are received the appropriate claims are made by carrying out a strict control of collection in each centre. In turn the necessary checks and filters to 7 ensure the coherence of data contributed in each questionnaire are performed. IV FILTERING AND QUESTIONNAIRES RECORDING A set of tables relative to the number of centres, teachers, enrolled student body and student body who finished their studies corresponding to the 2001/2002 reference course are presented. OF Moreover, student body tables are included bearing in mind the National Classification of Education (NCED) by study sectors, approved in February 2000. Once the consistency of the information provided in the questionnaire is confirmed, the data is coded for its subsequent recording by means of programmes that have filtering regulations incorporated into them. 3 V. IT TREATMENT OF THE DATA Data are recorded via a program elaborated in BLAISE where each centre is assigned (and where necessary, each study centre) a register in which variables relative to their identification, localisation and condition (type of centre) are included. Once all the information is available in this manner, statistical tables can be generated by computerised procedures. The resulting tables are revised and subsequently processed in order to achieve the definitive format to be published. Publication plan The publication is structured into six main blocks. 1 ANNUAL EDUCATION SERIES Information is offered on the most relevant characteristics of university studies, those equivalent to university and OLGOES artistic studies (advanced level) in the last decade, through which it is possible to observe the evolution experienced by university education in Spain in the said period. With the object of facilitating this view, for each table the information is expressed in variation indices taking as a base the academic year 1991/92. 2 8 GENERAL SUMMARIES UNIVERSITY EDUCATION OLGOES ARTISTIC EDUCATION (ADVANCED LEVEL) AND ADVANCED UNIVERSITY EQUIVALENT EDUCATION This includes information relative to the number of centres, teaching personnel and student body personalised for each one of the advanced level artistic education of the OLGOES (conservation and restoration of cultural goods, dramatic art, conservatoire of music (advanced level) and advanced singing school) and advanced education equivalent to university (tourism and intermediate and advanced level military education). 4 5 5.1 5.2 5.3 UINIVERSITY ENTRANCE TESTS 6 TABLES BY AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES.
