Higher Education in Spain
The education system in Spain is organized by the national government and the individual governments of each of the 17 autonomous regions in Spain. Elementary (primary) and middle (secondary) school in Spain are obligatory and education is free for all children from the ages of 6 to 16. After finishing secondary education, students will be awarded a graduation certificate, and can continue their studies on higher education if they want.

The Spanish education system is divided into four stages, two of which are optional, preschool and upper secondary education, and the other two are compulsory, specifically primary and secondary education.

Upper Secondary Education
Upper secondary education is not compulsory for students in Spain. After finishing mandatory secondary education, Spanish school graduates may either choose to go on 2-year studies for the Bachillerato certificate, which makes them eligible for university education, or vocational training which will make them eligible for the growing demand of job market.

I. Bachillerato

In order to get the Bachillerato certificate (Spanish Baccalaureate), 16-year old students finishing secondary education in Spain, should undertake a two-year period of studies and take an exam at the end. This certification will give students a chance to enter university and go on to further stages of higher education. Specifically, after earning the Bachillerato, students themselves choose whether to go apply for vocational training or just to take an exam known as “Selectividad” to be enrolled in one the universities in Spain.Bachillerato is one of the flexible way to study and there are some spheres for them to choose such as sciences, humanities and social sciences, as well as arts. This level lasts 2 years in which students learn three different fields of subjects including core subjects, specific subjects, and subjects that are organized by the Autonomous Communities.

''II. Vocational''

Students who choose vocational training Ciclos Formativos after secondary school can get training in plenty of working spheres where they are able to obtain different skills. It lasts four years and is divided into two stages: Grado Medio which gives basic training to students and Grado Superior being lasted by further two years. The second can be continued only by those who are above 18. It means that students who wish to get vocational education can access it after graduating Bachillerato.

III. Universities

Higher education in Spain includes 76 universities, 45 of them are funded by the country. Students must receive their certificate of Bachillerato and need to pass their university entrance exams known as ‘Selectividad’. Spain’s universities attract students not only from native people there, but also from other foreign countries like from Mexico, the USA and Uzbekistan too. From approximately 1.6 million students in the higher education sector, there are around 194,743 international students enrolled in Spanish universities, out of which 56,892 are international students on mobility programmes like ERASMUS. The education system in Spain has a variety of benefits by properly preparing students for the job market and providing high quality education, and internationally-recognized qualifications.

Universities
''Cheapest Universities in Spain for International Students ''

Studying in Spain is a wholesome experience, academically, culturally, and socially. Thousands of students worldwide are interested in pursuing their studies in Spain. One of the reasons that makes Spain an ideal country to gain a degree is that Spanish universities, besides their academic excellence, are also pocket-friendly, especially when compared with major study abroad countries, like the US or Australia. Public universities in Spain are usually cheaper than private universities. Therefore, if you are looking for an option at a reasonable price, public universities might be what you need. The tuition fees for overseas students are higher in Spain than for domestic/EU students. However, in general, the average tuition fees are reasonable and affordable, especially when matched with the cost of living and rent in Spain. In the following sections, I have given some of the cheapest universities in Spain for foreign students, to make the process of choosing a university easier. At public universities in Spain, tuition fees are set by the respective Autonomous Community. Before you go on: To better understand how tuition (cost per credit) works at public universities in Spain, read through our cost of studying in Spain guide. Please keep in mind: Ranking system in Spanish universities is assessed according to the cost per credit in the first enrollment in each respective Autonomous Community. However, since the cost per credit in the first enrollment changes depending on the degree program, there could be discrepancies in ranking — meaning the cheapest university for humanities may not necessarily be the cheapest for degrees in health sciences or architecture.

1. University of Salamanca

2. University of Valencia

3. University of Alicante

4. University of Jaén

Positive sides of Spanish Education System in Spain which can be introduced in many countries
There is a friendly atmosphere in the schools from both peers and instructors. Each of them try to assist newcomers so that they will not have any problem in adapting to a new place. Many schools are bilingual and both children and teachers can speak English apart from their own mother tongue.

Making a child psychologically comfortable is one of the main value in Spanish educational faculties, and this is the element which many countries lack. Children are not given pressure or race for grades. They are not asked to adjust to someone’s pace in order to make everyone study in a similar way. Teacher just writes a task on the board and allows students to go on their paces and parents also disapprove the necessity of giving a lot of tasks instead of making a child happy at the end.

The big plus is having no homework. There is a mobile application which is also given to parents to have access to correspondence. Teachers give classroom task to fill at home. A diary is kept as a communicating tool between teachers and parents. A meeting is held once a semester to talk about problems and challenges children are facing. Specific students are not the main topic in these debates.

During the trimester two tours organized for children. For example, in this trimester, the daughter went to the theatre and the cheese factory. The school organizes events. I remember when at Halloween the kids were supposed to come to the lessons in costumes. Every time everything is fun and colorful. The children had bright impressions.
