In Spain most of the education competencies have been transfered to the regional governments. it is for this reason that the measures taken to improve the quality of education for the most unfavoured populaiton groups is different from one region to another. Nevertheless, there is a law, the LOE (Organic Law for Education) on wich all regional educational policies must be based. This law considers a series of measures of attention to diversity such as (among many others) integration clases for foreign students who may have a lack of knowledge; coexistence plans in schools; suplementary classes for students who do not progress at a normal pace. THe same schools develop different types of initiatives of the same kind depending on their necessities. The Ministry of Education has agreed on 126 measures against early school leaving, in cooperation with the regional governments. |
