KING OF SPAIN

To all who present it and understand it.

Sabed: That the General Courts have approved and I come to sanction the following organic law.

PREAMBLE

I

The students are the center and the raison d' être of the education. Learning at school should be aimed at forming autonomous, critical people with their own thinking. All pupils and pupils have a dream, all young people have talent. Our people and their talents are the most valuable thing we have as a country.

Therefore, each and every one of the students and students will be the object of an attention, in the search for the development of the talent, that will turn education into the main instrument of social mobility, help to overcome economic barriers The European Social and Social Welfare and the Social and Social For all of them this Organic Law establishes the necessary mechanisms of permeability and return between the different paths and paths that are articulated in it.

All students possess talent, but the nature of this talent differs between them. As a result, the education system must have the necessary mechanisms to recognise and empower it. The recognition of this diversity among students or students in their abilities and expectations is the first step towards the development of an educational structure that contemplates different trajectories. The logic of this reform is based on the evolution towards a system capable of directing students towards the trajectories most suited to their abilities, so that they can make their aspirations a reality and become routes that facilitate the employability and stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit through the possibility, for the students and their parents, mothers or legal guardians, to choose the best personal and professional development options. Students with performance issues must have specific programs that improve their ability to continue in the system.

Behind the talents of people are the values that underpin them, the attitudes that drive them, the competencies that materialize them and the knowledge that they build. The challenge of a democratic society is to create the conditions for all pupils and students to acquire and express their talents, in short, the commitment to quality education as a support for equality and social justice.

Education is the engine that promotes the welfare of a country. The educational level of citizens determines their ability to compete successfully in the field of the international landscape and to face the challenges that arise in the future. Improving the level of citizens in the field of education means opening the doors to highly qualified jobs, which is a gamble for economic growth and for a better future.

In the individual sphere, education means facilitating personal development and social integration. The educational level determines, in a great way, the goals and expectations of the life trajectory, both professionally and personally, as well as the set of knowledge, resources and learning tools that enable a person to successfully meet your goals.

Only a quality, inclusive, inclusive and demanding education system guarantees equal opportunities and makes it possible for every pupil or pupil to develop the maximum of their potential. Only from quality can the mandate of Article 27.2 of the Spanish Constitution be made effective: " Education will have as its object the full development of the human personality in the respect of the democratic principles of coexistence and the fundamental rights and freedoms. "

II

One of the goals of the reform is to introduce new patterns of behavior that will place education at the heart of our society and economy.

The transformation of education is not only dependent on the education system. It is the whole of society that has to take an active role. Education is a task that affects businesses, associations, trade unions, non-governmental organisations, as well as any other form of civil society manifestation and, in a very particular way, families. The success of the social transformation in which we are immersed depends on education. However, without the involvement of civil society there will be no educational transformation.

Family reality in general, and particularly in the field of its relationship with education, is undergoing profound changes. We need channels and habits that allow us to restore the balance and the strength of the relations between students, families and schools. Families are the first to be responsible for their children's education and therefore the education system has to rely on the family and trust in their decisions.

They are to highlight the results of the generous work of teachers, families and other social actors, who give us an optimistic view of the transformation of the education we face, offering us a long list successful experiences in the most diverse areas, which lead to local environments, in many cases with global projection, cooperation and learning.

III

The profound changes facing today's society demand a continuous and thoughtful adaptation of the education system to emerging learning demands.

The creation of conditions that allow students to complete their full personal and professional development, as well as their effective participation in the social, cultural and economic processes of transformation, is a responsibility. The law of the public authorities.

Never as we have now had the opportunity to have a personalized and universal education. As never before, education has had the potential to be such a determining element of equity and social welfare.

The main threat facing developed societies is the fracture of knowledge, that is, the fracture among those who have the knowledge, skills and skills to learn and to do, and to do learning, and those who are excluded. The fight against the exclusion of a good part of Spanish society, prompted by the high rates of early school leaving and the low levels of quality that the education system today reports, are the main impetus to face the reform.

The school, and especially the public school, have found their main reason for being in the struggle against the inevitability of the situations of injustice or degradation that have occurred in every moment of their history. Modern school is the value of education as a utopia of social justice and welfare. According to this function, the present Organic Law guides the school to the service of a society that cannot assume as normal or structural that an important part of its students and students, those who leave the classrooms before having the knowledge, skills and basic skills, or those whose training level is well below international quality standards, start at the start of their working life under conditions of disadvantage such as those that are unemployment or a job of limited value added.

these circumstances, in the current economy, which is becoming increasingly global and more demanding in the training of workers and employers, become a scourge that limits the possibilities of social mobility, when they do not lead to unassuming transmission of poverty.

According to the previous reflection, it is important to emphasize that the improvement of the democratic quality of a community is inexorably due to the improvement of the quality of its educational system. An increasingly complex and participatory democracy demands increasingly responsible and formal citizens. Raising current levels of education is an essential decision to promote the peaceful coexistence and cultural development of society.

Equity and quality are two sides of the same coin. A quality education system in which it is not a priority to eliminate any hint of inequality is not imaginable. There is no greater lack of equity than that of a system that equals in the desidia or mediocrity. For Spanish society it is not enough for schooling to attend to the right to education, quality is a constituent element of the right to education.

IV

A more open, global and participatory society demands new profiles of citizens and workers, more sophisticated and diversified, in the same way as it demands alternative ways of organizing and managing in which they take precedence collaboration and teamwork, as well as proposals capable of assuming that true strength lies in the mix of diverse competencies and knowledge.

Education is the key to this transformation through the formation of people who are active with self-confidence, curious, enterprising and innovative, eager to participate in the society to which they belong, to create individual value and collective, able to assume as their own the value of the balance between effort and reward. The educational system must enable the learning of different things as well as teaching in a different way, in order to satisfy students and students who have changed with society.

The cognitive skills, being essential, are not sufficient; it is necessary to acquire from early ages transversal competences such as critical thinking, diversity management, creativity or capacity communicate, and key attitudes such as individual trust, enthusiasm, constancy and acceptance of change. Initial education is becoming more and more important because the learning process is not finished in the educational system today, but is projected throughout the life of the person.

We need to foster the conditions that allow for timely methodological change, so that students are an active element in the learning process. The current students and students have changed radically in relation to those of a generation. Globalization and the impact of new technologies make it a different way to learn, communicate, focus attention, or address a task.

It is necessary to generate the conviction that the educational system rewards in a transparent and equitable way the performance achieved in the educational objectives, and that it recognizes especially its contribution to the improvement of the environment.

Virtually all developed countries are currently, or have been found in recent years, immersed in processes of transformation of their educational systems. The social transformations inherent in a more global, open and interconnected world, such as this one in which we live, have made the various countries think about the need for greater or lesser legislative and regulatory changes. adapt their education systems to the new requirements.

At European level we can cite Finland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Hungary and the UK as examples of countries whose educational systems are under review. Outside Europe, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, China (Shanghai), Canada (Ontario), Republic of Korea or the US are also engaged in processes of improving education, with regulatory changes and medium-and long-term planning.

V

The completion of an expansive economic cycle and its inevitable budgetary consequences cannot be an alibi to circumvent the necessary reforms of our education system. The cost of not taking on these responsibilities would be none other than to see social exclusion and the deterioration of competitiveness increase.

Since the transition to democracy, Spain has achieved schooling rates almost 100% since the age of 3 and has developed the necessary instruments to guarantee minimum levels of education by covering the the basic needs of the students and to ensure, for the whole of the educational institutions, minimum levels of quality through the establishment of criteria of uniformity. We must therefore consider the universalization of education, as well as inclusive education, as an achievement of the last decades.

The differences between pupils and students in the same centre and between the different centres indicate that we have a more homogeneous educational system than the average, which translates into an equity index higher than the average of the OECD.

However, the current system does not allow progress towards an improvement in educational quality, as evidenced by the results obtained by students and students in international evaluation tests such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), the high rates of early abandonment of education and training, and the small number of students achieving excellence. The objectivity of the international comparative studies, which reflect at least the stagnation of the system, lead to the conclusion that a reform of the educational system is necessary which will run away from the ideological debates that have hindered the progress in recent years. A sensible, practical reform is necessary to allow the full potential of each pupil or pupil to be developed.

The results of 2011, disseminated by EUROSTAT (Statistical Office of the European Communities) in relation to the educational indicators of the Europe 2020 Strategy, clearly highlight early educational abandonment. as one of the weaknesses of the Spanish education system, by putting the drop-out rate at 26.5% in 2011, with a downward trend but a far cry from the current European average value (13.5%) and the 10% target set for 2020.

On the other hand, the PISA Report 2009 shows results for Spain that highlight the insufficient level obtained in reading comprehension, mathematical competence and scientific competence, far removed from the average of the countries of the OECD.

The European Union's strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth has set for the 2020 horizon five ambitious objectives in terms of employment, innovation, education, social integration, as well as climate change. and energy and has quantified the educational objectives that the European Union must achieve in order to improve education levels. In the year 2020, the European Union must reduce school leaving to less than 10% and at least 40% of the population aged between 30 and 34 must have completed their higher education or equivalent training.

According to the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020, approved in 2010 by the European Commission, this improvement in education levels must also be addressed to people with disabilities, who will be to ensure inclusive and quality education and training in the framework of the "Youth on the Move" initiative, which has been put forward by the European Strategy itself for smart growth. To this end, the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by the United Nations in December 2006, in force and fully applicable in Spain, will be taken as a guiding and necessary reference framework. May 2008.

in order to address the decline in school dropout, the percentage of young people who complete the educational level of higher secondary education, ISCED level 3 (International Standard Classification of Education), should be increased. the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The achievement of this level of education has become a key issue of education and training systems in developed countries, and is also included in the Education Indicators Project of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which highlights the need for young people to complete at least ISCED level 3 in order to cope with their entry into the labour market with sufficient guarantees.

The normative technique chosen, with limited modification of the Organic Law of Education (LOE), responds to OECD recommendations based on best practices in countries with better-performing education systems, in The reforms are constantly being made on the basis of a general stability framework, as they are identified as shortcomings or new needs arise. The proposal of the Organic Law for the Improvement of Educational Quality (LOMCE) arises from the need to respond to concrete problems of our educational system that are assuming a ballast for the social equity and the competitiveness of the country, priming the achievement of a framework of stability and avoiding extraordinary situations such as the lives in our educational system in recent years.

The changes proposed in our education system by the LOMCE are based on evidence. The reform aims to address the main problems identified in the Spanish education system on the basis of the objective results reflected in the regular evaluations of the European and

International studies show that countries that have relatively rapidly improved the quality of their education systems have implemented measures related to the simplification of the curriculum and the strengthening of the of instrumental knowledge, the flexibility of the trajectories so that students can choose the most appropriate to their abilities and aspirations, the development of external evaluation systems censals and consistent in the time, the increase of transparency of results, the promotion of a greater autonomy and specialization in the educational centers, the requirement for students, teachers and centers of accountability, and the incentive of effort.

This reform of the educational system aims to be gradualist and prudent, based on common sense and sustainable in time, because its success will be measured according to the objective improvement of the students 'and students' results. This Organic Law is the result of an open and sincere dialogue, which seeks consensus, enriched with the contributions of the entire educational community.

VI

The reform promoted by the LOMCE is supported by evidence and collects best practices compared. The main objectives of the reform are to reduce the rate of early abandonment of education, to improve educational outcomes according to international criteria, both in the comparative rate of excellent students and students, and in graduates in compulsory secondary education, to improve employability, and to stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit of students. The principles on which the reform pivots are fundamentally the increase in the autonomy of institutions, the strengthening of the management capacity of the centres, the external evaluations of the end of the stage, the rationalization of the educational provision and the easing of trajectories.

VII

The increase in the autonomy of the centers is a repeated recommendation of the OECD to improve the results of the centers, necessarily linked to the demand for greater transparency in accountability. Despite the formal reiteration of the LOE on the importance of autonomy, international surveys continue to mark this factor as a deficit of our system. It is necessary that each center has the capacity to identify its strengths and the needs of its environment, so that it can make decisions on how to improve its educational and methodological offer in this area, in direct relation, when It corresponds to its nature, with the strategy of the educational administration. This responsibility will lead to the need to demonstrate that public resources have been used efficiently and that they have led to a real improvement in the results. The autonomy of the centres is an open door to the diversity of pupils and students, which maintains the cohesion and unity of the system and opens up new possibilities for cooperation between the centres and the creation of support networks and shared learning.

The reform will also contribute to strengthening the management capacity of the centers, conferring upon the directors, as representatives of the educational administration in the center and as responsible for the project. education, the opportunity to exercise greater pedagogical and managerial leadership. On the other hand, the function of the directive is enhanced through a system of prior certification to access the post of director, and a protocol is established to account for the decisions taken, the actions of quality and the results (i) Few areas of administration have the complexity and size of the network of public educational institutions; being aware of their difficulty and of the effort it entails for their managers, improving their management is an unavoidable challenge for the system.

VIII

Stage-end external evaluations are one of the main innovations of the LOMCE with regard to the previous framework and one of the measures called to improve the quality of the education system more directly. Twenty countries in the OECD make their students and students evidence of this nature and the evidence indicates that their implementation has an impact of at least sixteen improvement points according to the PISA criteria.

These tests will have a formative and diagnostic character. On the one hand, they must be used to ensure that all pupils and pupils reach the appropriate levels of learning for the normal development of personal and professional life in accordance with the intended title, and must also enable them to pupils and students in their school decisions according to the knowledge and skills they actually possess. On the other hand, these tests normalize the standards of certification throughout Spain, clearly indicating to the whole of the educational community what are the required levels of demand and introducing elements of certainty, objectivity and comparability of results. In addition, they provide parents, centres and educational administrations with valuable information in the face of future decisions. The objective of this evaluation is to improve the learning of the student or students, the management measures of the institutions and the policies of the administrations.

The transparency of data needs to be carried out by reporting on the added value of the centres in relation to the socio-economic circumstances of their environment and, in particular, on the development of the centres.

The tests will be homologable to those carried out at international level and, in particular, to those of the OECD and focus on the level of acquisition of the competences. Following the international guidelines, they should be careful in any case to be able to measure the results of the learning process without undermining the desired autonomy of the centers, and should exclude the possibility of any type of training. to be exceeded.

The proposed evaluations do not exhaust the assessment possibilities within the system, although it will be up to the educational administrations to decide on the implementation of other evaluations.

The success of the evaluation proposal will be to ensure that no student or student encounters an insurmountable barrier. Each test must provide options and gateways, so that no one who wants to continue learning can be left out of the system.

IX

The rationalization of the educational offer, reinforcing in all stages the learning of stem subjects that contribute to the acquisition of the fundamental competences for the academic development of the students and students, is another basic objective of the reform. The curricular review that will happen to the approval of the organic law will have to take into account the learning needs linked to the accelerated social and economic changes that we are living. The simplification of curricular development is an essential element for the transformation of the education system, a simplification which, in accordance with the guidelines of the European Union, must provide a solid knowledge of the content that ensure the effectiveness of the acquisition of basic skills. The keys to this process of curricular change are to favor an interdisciplinary vision and, in a special way, to allow greater autonomy for the teaching function, in order to satisfy the demands of greater customization of the education, taking into account the principle of teacher specialization.

X

The rigidities of the system lead to the exclusion of students and students whose expectations are not adapted to the established framework. On the other hand, the possibility of choosing between different trajectories guarantees them an easier permanence in the educational system and, consequently, greater possibilities for their personal and professional development. The flexibility of the trajectories, so that each student can develop their full potential, is concrete in the development of programs to improve the learning and the performance in the second and the third course of the Secondary Education Compulsory, Basic Vocational Training, the anticipation of the pathways to Baccalaureate and Vocational Training, and the transformation of the current fourth course of compulsory secondary education into a fundamentally pro-deutic course and with two well-differentiated trajectories. This diversification will allow the student to receive personalized attention to be oriented toward the educational path that best suits their needs and aspirations, which should favor their progression in the educational system.

It is a recurring theme of the reform to remove the barriers to favor the achievement, at least, of the higher stages of secondary education, an increasingly evident demand in the society in which we live, for what has been The new routes have been developed and are more permeable to existing ones. The permeability of the system, both vertical and horizontal, is one of the European Union's greatest concerns. Thus, the Law opens gateways between all the formative trajectories and within them, so that no decision of any student or student is irreversible. Any student or student can transition throughout their training process from some areas to others in accordance with their vocation, effort and vital expectations, linking to the needs of a lifelong learning.

In addition to these principles, it is necessary to highlight three areas in which the LOMEC makes a special impact on the transformation of the education system: Information and Communication Technologies, the promotion of plurilingualism, and the modernisation of vocational training.

XI

Technology has historically shaped education and continues to shape it. Personalized learning and its universalization as great challenges of educational transformation, as well as the satisfaction of learning in non-cognitive competencies, the acquisition of attitudes and learning by doing, demand the use of (a) the technology. Connecting with the habits and experiences of the new generations requires an in-depth review of the notion of classroom and educational space, only possible from a broad reading of the educational function of new technologies.

The widespread incorporation into the education system of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which will take into account the principles of design for all people and universal accessibility, will allow to customize education and adapting it to the needs and rhythm of every pupil or pupil. On the one hand, it will serve to strengthen and support in cases of poor performance and, on the other hand, it will allow to expand without limitations the knowledge transmitted in the classroom. Students and students with motivation will be able to access, according to their capacity, the educational resources already offered by many institutions at the national and international levels. Information and Communication Technologies will be a key element in producing the methodological change that will lead to the goal of improving educational quality. Furthermore, the responsible and orderly use of these new technologies by students and students must be present throughout the educational system. Information and Communication Technologies will also be a key tool in teacher training and in the learning of citizens throughout life, enabling them to make training compatible with their obligations. personal or work, and will also be in process management.

Once previous experiences have been evaluated, it is essential that the model of digitisation of the school for which it is chosen is economically sustainable, and that it focuses on the creation of a digital ecosystem at national level. to allow for the normal development of the options for each educational administration.

XII

The dominance of a second or even a third foreign language has become a priority in education as a consequence of the globalization process in which we live, while showing itself as one of the main shortcomings of our education system. The European Union sets out the promotion of plurilingualism as an indispensable objective for the construction of a European project. The Law strongly supports plurilingualism, redoubling efforts to get students to develop fluently at least in a first foreign language, whose level of oral and reading comprehension and oral and written expression is decisive in promoting employability and career ambitions, and is therefore strongly committed to the curricular incorporation of a second foreign language.

XIII

The main difference in the Spanish education system with those of our environment lies in the number of students and students who pass through our vocational training. This situation inevitably affects the employability and competitiveness of our economy, limiting the vital choices of many young people. Revitalizing the option of professional learning as an option according to the will of a personal development and also its permeability with the rest of the system is a strategic objective of this Law. In order to achieve this, it is proposed to modernise supply, to adapt it to the requirements of the different production sectors, to involve companies in the training process, with the important novelty of dual vocational training, and the search for a closer to the models of the countries of our environment with much lower levels of youth unemployment. A new title of Basic Vocational Training is created, the paths of access from the Basic Vocational Training to the Middle Grade are relaxed, and from this to the higher level, the contribution to the enlargement of the skills in Basic and Middle-Grade Vocational Training, dual vocational training is regulated and completed with optional subjects oriented to higher grade cycles and transition to other teaching.

XIV

Recommendation (2002) 12 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to the Member States on Education for Democratic Citizenship, dated 16 October 2002, points out that education for democratic citizenship is essential to promote a free, tolerant and just society that contributes to defending the values and principles of freedom, pluralism, human rights and the rule of law, which are the foundations of democracy.

One of the principles on which the Spanish Educational System is inspired is the transmission and implementation of values that promote personal freedom, responsibility, democratic citizenship, solidarity, tolerance, equality, respect and justice, as well as helping to overcome any kind of discrimination. It is also contemplated as an end to which the Spanish Educational System aims to prepare for the exercise of citizenship and for active participation in economic, social and cultural life, with a critical and responsible attitude and with ability to adapt to changing situations in the knowledge society.

This Organic Law considers the preparation for active citizenship and the acquisition of social and civic competences as essential, as set out in the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on the key competences for lifelong learning. In the context of the methodological change that this Organic Law advocates, this need is addressed in a transversal way by incorporating civic and constitutional education into all subjects during basic education, so that the acquisition of Social and civic competences are included in the day-to-day dynamics of the teaching and learning processes and will be strengthened in this way, through a joint approach, their possibility of transfer and their guiding character.

XV

The transformation of the educational system is the result of a sustained and constant effort of educational reform, an effort that is only possible with the permanent and respectful collaboration of all the actors. In particular, it will be relevant to promote sincere cooperation between educational administrations that will enable the sharing of best practices in the system and improve territorial cohesion. In addition, this law will acquire full meaning with the development of a future law on the teaching function.
