Above is the structure of Spain's Education System. They are very much like Singapore in terms of Primary and Secondary Education. However, Education in Spain is free and mandatory at the age of 6 until they reach 16. This would mean that parents do not need to pay for primary and secondary education. Basic vocational training are provided in secondary schools. At the age of 16, it is legal for them to enter the workforce.
Primary school consists of 3 cycles of 2 year each.
· First cycle: 6-8 years
· Second cycle: 8–10 years
· Third cycle: 10-12 years
Secondary School consists of 2 cycles of 2 years each. This will include 4 courses.
First cycle: 12-14 years
· Second cycle: 14–16 years
Other than the Primary and Secondary Education, there are Special Education or General Education which caters to students with special needs.
After Secondary Education, students can continue to higher level vocational training, universities or specialised education.
There are also 3 types of education centres in Spain:
Public, Private & State-funded.
Public, Private & State-funded.
Public schools provides free education while the Private and State-funded school requires school fees. The difference between Private and State funded schools is that Private has no state subsidies therefore their monthly fees are chargeable at 300-400€ (SGD$524-698) while State-funded will charge at 100€ (SGD$175). Private schools have their freedom to choose the way they organize and function the school.
