Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Batxillerat
Two academic years of education from sixteen years to eighteen. The obligatory secondary education graduates certificate is required to access this. When completing these studies, pupils that have satisfactorily completed any of its modalities receive the batxiller certificate access to higher education.
Special education
Education that involves curricular care and adaptations designed for disabled pupils to carry out their education process while integrated in ordinary centres or specific centres when this is recommendable due to the seriousness and circumstances of the disability.
Infant education
Etapa educativa preobligatòria que s'imparteix als infants de 0 a 6 anys. S'organitza en dos cicles de tres cursos: primer cicle o primera infància (de 0 a 3 anys) i segon cicle o primer ensenyament (de 3 a 6 anys). Poden impartir el primer cicle d'educació infantil els centres creats o autoritzats per l'Administració educativa. Els centres que únicament imparteixen el primer cicle d'educació infantil tenen la denominació genèrica de llar d'infants o escola bressol.
Primary education
Education that covers six years, from six years to twelve, and is compulsory. It is structured into three cycles, each of two academic years.
Compulsory secondary education (ESO)
Education covering four academic years. It generally starts in the calendar year in which students turn 12 and ends when they are 16. Students who graduate from ESO can enter the baccalaureate or even an intermediate level specific vocational training in sports education (if they pass the specific entry test) or in visual arts and design.
Medium grade vocational training
Training that includes education providing the capacity to develop various professions. Of a variable duration depending on the profession. To access this, the secondary education graduates certificate or any equivalent is required. The pupils that pass these courses receive the specialist qualification for the corresponding profession.
Higher grade vocational training
Training that includes education providing the capacity to develop various professions. Of a variable duration depending on the profession. To access this, the batxiller certificate or any equivalent is required. The pupils that pass these courses receive the higher specialist qualification, which enables the graduate to exercise said profession. It also allows access to first cycle university studies for the corresponding professional sector.
Programmes for Initial Professional Qualification (PIPQ)

Les proves d'accés amb exempcions se suprimiran a partir del curs 2012-2013.

Methodological aspects

The data on infant, primary and secondary education is taken from an exploitation of the data provided by the Generalitat de Catalunya's Ministry of Education or teaching centres at all education levels. The public sector includes data for the centres that depend on the Ministry of Education and other public administrations, while the private sector deals with privately owned centres.

In 1990 the Law for general ordering of the education system (LOGSE) was passed, which modifies the previous education system (LGE) of 1970. In the 1991/92 academic year the teaching approved by the new law was gradually introduced and the 2000/01 academic year was the first in which none of the teaching relating to the previous education system was still in existence.

However, the two education models coexisted over the long period of experimentation and implantation of the new education law.

The data on centres and teaching staff is given, on the one hand, for infant and primary education as a whole, and on the other, for secondary education, although it is often the case that centres and teachers overlap in terms of the different levels given.

Data are provisional.
