The document discusses issues with Spain's education system. It states that Spanish students lack important skills like public speaking, data analysis, and essay writing due to a lack of budget and emphasis on memorization over creativity. National exams also encourage memorization over critical thinking. As a result, Spanish students are not used to thinking independently and fail when facing new challenges abroad. While governments have tried reforming education, the changes have only been superficial and Spain still lags behind in preparing students for the modern world.
