The education system in Spain makes the schooling compulsory for the children between the ages from 6-16. The compulsory primary education is of 6 years duration and another compulsory education is of 4 years that is called secondary education.
Usually children start their education at the age of 6 and below that, the education is optional. The academic calendar starts in September and usually goes till June. The students have to meet a certain standard to go to the next level of education. It is a contrast to what we found in England and Wales where the progress of students can happen automatically at the completion of a year.
When a student completes the secondary education, he can apply for one of the Spanish Bachillerato, which is a national level qualification. To enter into a university, every student has to take an entrance exam in most of the cases.
