Dialogue Hello Jose How are you? Hello Peter I‘m fine and how are you? I‘m fine too. Jose, I have a question. I have to write a work about different school systems. Could you explain to me the school system in Spain?

Sure. The educational system in Spain is divided in three groups. The „Educación Primaria“ , that is the elemantary school lasts six years, the second group with the „Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO)“ lasts four years. The third group is the vocational training or high school. The compulsary education persists to an age of 16 years. Pardon ? Again please.

I explain it to you with a figure.

Thank you Josê. You are welcome. I notice several aspects, the systems have in common. I have listed the commonalities and differences with a chart.

Commonalities and differences of different educational systems commonalities differences all countries have an educational system many students have no vocational training all countries have a elementary school and a secondary school system the educational systems are builded up different levels are different degrees are not officially recognized and are not camparable to each other Grading system is different Requirements are different target > uniform educational system 27/02/18 11

Do you know what would be cool ? A uniform educational system in europe How could this look alike ?

Uniform educational system in europe the level of education has to be adapted equal chances for education, vocational training european educational system that is bound on european labour market a custom made education of free charge online courses could offer a brand new option (blended learning) official recognization of all graduations in europe for better employment chances Europe-wide uniform laws for europe uniform official language as second language, beside first language Integration of european schools through school interchange 27/02/18 13

So it could look alike. Yes. 27/02/18 14
