Formación Profesional - FP

After the ESO - Educación Secundaria Obligatoria stage in the Spanish education system, pupils go on to Bachillerato, with its more traditional academic approach, or to Formación Profesional, which has a vocational focus.
FP comprises two cycles, one for students from sixteen to eighteen and another, running parallel to university education, for students of eighteen and over. After both cycles students qualify for a specific occupation, or to go on to more specialized courses. See also LOE - Ley Orgánica de Educación (2006).

LOE - Ley Orgánica de Educación (2006) Info

LOE - Ley Orgánica de Educación (2006)

This Spanish reform established four stages of pre-university education: non-compulsory educación infantil, from birth to six years; compulsory primary education, Primaria, from six to twelve; compulsory secondary education, ESO - Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, from twelve to sixteen; and either two years of Bachillerato, leading to university entrance, or two years of Formación Profesional Específica de Grado Medio, vocational training that can lead to Formación Profesional Específica de Grado Superior. The LOE superseded the LOGSE Ley Orgánica de Ordenación General del Sistema Educativo of 1990. The major change was a reduction in humanities subjects in the curriculum, while citizenship classes Educación para la Ciudadanía were introduced. The latter have been controversial in some quarters.
