The document summarizes the Spanish education system. It is compulsory and free from ages 3 to 16, supported by regional governments. It includes pre-school (ages 3-6), primary school (6-12), compulsory secondary education (12-16), and post-compulsory secondary or vocational training (16-18). Higher education degrees are from 18-23 years old. The majority of schools are state run, with some private. Teachers work 35 hours a week with students and have long holidays. The schedule outlines a student and teacher's weekly schedule, with national exams around Christmas, Easter and summer. Several projects at one school focus on technology, multilingualism, co-education, reading and sports
