Go On With Spain...

Some of the most important changes when LOE was allowed are:
-The school has the obligation to offer Religion as a subject to free choose
-Students should repeat the course if they fail 2 or more subjects
-A new subject: "Educación para la Ciudadanía" (Education for citizenship)


This subject create a lot of problems in the conservative side of the spanish society.
They said that the Estate is stoling the moral education of the children from theis parents, who should decide about the education of their children. But the goverment tried to explain that the subject will be use to educate in democratic values and tolerance.
The Catholic church is totally against the subject, calling it totalitarian,and critizing points refers to sexual education, teaching about monoparental or homosexual families and state indoctrination.
Also some sectors of the anarquism said that it doesnt teach others ways of social organization, inducing the system of parliamentary democracy.

After the goverment said that the subject will be as obligatory in schools, some parents appealed to higher courts of the autonomous communities, with mixed results:
The mayority of tribunals decide to go on with the project of subject, but in some of the communities the subjects is offers as free choose, but not bligatory.
 I dont know how political and religious ideal can affects the education of a "democratic" country. Parents says that they have the right to choose about their children education, but then, they leave all the responsabilities n the school, and overall, in the teachers.

From 2009, Education for Citizenship and Human Rights is teached in spanish schools supporting:

Educational System in Spain

This entry could be very long, for this reason I will do it in diferents entries.
 This one, the 1st one, will be about how we get our actual educational system, after many changes in the goberment.


Spain had a very big lateness respect the rest of Europe, in every aspect, obviously education was afeccted also.
The first change was in 1857, when the main aim was to put a limit in the influence that the church had on the school.
After that, a new renovation didnT arrive until 1970, when Spain wanted to be more close to Europe, they stablished the obligatory education from 6 to 14 years.
With the arrive of the Democracy in 1975, we had 3 more educational "renovations" until arrive to L.O.E, our actual system, 2006, after 16 years with the same system (LOGSE).




Now we can stablish the Spainsh Educational System like this:


- Educación Infantil (kindergarten): between 0 and 6 years and no obligatory.
 Until 3 years it is not free, kindergarten used to be private, or, even though they belong to a comunity, families have to pay for it. 
From 3 to 6 years old, they are inside the school, and it is free. 


- Educación Básica (basic education): between 6 to 16 years, which is obligatory and, therefore, free, includding:
            - Primary Education: 6 courses
            - Secondary Education (E.S.O): 4 courses


After that point, appears 2 years more, no obligatory, and we can say that no totally free. 


To sum up this is how are divided grades in the L.O.E system.
In the followings post I will tell you what L.O.E supports, How Primary is stablish and teached, what are the problems in Secondary, and what to do after E.S.O. Also our newest change in the University System  =)

Game over...

These are the words that I will read in a couple of months...
I don`t know if I want to stay here or not, I mean, I miss my family, my friends, but... I get here a lot of importants things for my life...and now, It supossed that I have to go on with my life and put in a side all these things...
I don`t thing I would do that.
In a couple of weeks I have to travel to Spain, because I have a family celebration, I will be in "my normal life" for one week, and then, when I come back, I know just 2 weeks more and this adventure will finish.
In all this months I didnT want to think about this. Always these things come to my mind, but, I trought them away from there. But, now, I feel like a cannot stop to think in the final of this experience.
But, maybe exist something to do with the future...Maybe I can have all the things I have here after I leave Denmark. Maybe there is a chance for everything...

Btw, changing the topic, I realised that I like photography..I mean, I always like to take pictures but never do it. Here, we use to go out and walk and take nice pictures, and I really like it, and I also think that they are good =) Here are some of them:

 I know I have 2 months without write here, but, I always forget to write here, instead I write in a spanish website, where I have to write also, maybe because it is more easy for me to write in spanish. Here I have to check after write, the ortography =) what can I do? Im not perfect, but, however I think Im improving my english (or sth like that :) )

From now, my post will be about the sistem education in Spain and the newest subject about democracy. I thing it is interesting, and I know, that Peter is waiting for that :P
