The educational system in Spain is supervised by the Ministry of Education, which is financed by the state and it is obligatory for children and young people between the ages of 3 and 16 to study. Despite this, Spanish education is highly criticized by its users.

First of all, not all schools are supported by the government, in fact, there are three different types of tuition. Among them are: public schools, subsidized schools, and private schools.

As far as school education is concerned, first of all children enter kindergarten, which goes from 0 to 6 years old and is divided into two stages: the first one is from 0 to 3 years old, which is not compulsory, therefore parents decide whether to finance the payment of this course. Most parents take this option because of the ease of care they give to their child, without taking into account the impact that detachment at an early age can cause in them.

On the other hand, the second stage goes from 3 to 6 years old and this one is compulsory, so there are two school possibilities, public and private. Although the objective of this stage is that the students acquire ethical values, explore their family, natural and social environments, the system involves many obligations before the fulfillment of norms that prevent the child from his natural activity of play, movement and experimentation, which retracts the child's development in a direct way; all the activities that are carried out arise under the development of the norms of coexistence and social relations of each institution. In fact, from this stage, the grades and the methodology of qualification are very rigorous, either in the workshops or in the evaluations that are carried out.

Generally all schools use a global teaching methodology that promotes monotony and collective learning, without taking the students' thinking further, they impose the importance of memorizing academic texts accurately, even most exams do not value creativity, curiosity or autonomous thinking but the ability to study exactly what it says in the book, as a result all knowledge is pigeonholed from a single point of view or a single source of knowledge. Actually in Spain, memorization is prioritized over reasoning and an example of this is the selection of knowledge that the student receives not only in his or her infancy stage but throughout his or her schooling period. All subjects and learning methodologies are based on the primitive systems of teaching, in fact, it is a system that Spain has been using since the previous century.

Meanwhile the schedules, are distributed of two forms, in some centers, the schedule begins at 9.00 in the morning and finishes at 17.00, counting on a rest of two hours, also another schedule system exists, that brings with it a more intense day, this schedule goes from the 8.00 to the 14.00, this possibility of elections offers total freedom to the family and the student on its control of the time according to its needs and preferences.

Secondary education includes: the ESO (Obligatory Secondary Education) which is studied from 12 to 16 years, after this some students take the decision to continue with the baccalaureate, the Basic Vocational Training (FP) and the FP of medium grade, non-compulsory stages. Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO). This stage lasts four years, from 1ESO to 4ESO. In certain cases, when the student has repeated some school grade and is already 16 years old, he or she has the option of concluding his or her studies if he or she so wishes. This is proof that the important thing is not the intellectual value that the student can develop but rather that they receive the necessary information as the state decrees.

In fact, the impact of the arts on the life of the student is reduced, which is a great point against taking into account that ART is the most important tool for the manifestation of the human being in society, this artistic cut not only affects the role of the artist in society but also represses the expression of thoughts and feelings of young people, without allowing them to develop a basic capacity for man and his coexistence in society, expression.

An evident aspect in the Spanish educational system is the distant relationship between teacher and student, which refers to a professional and authoritarian relationship. The figure of the teacher specifically complies with the explanation in the classroom and the exposition of the topics related to his or her subject. The majority of teachers do not usually get involved in the student's personal life. They are not usually close to the student, nor with the personal problems that are present, even if their academic level is compromised. From the student's point of view, the teacher is seen totally as a figure who imposes authority and punishment. Fear is a factor that teachers instill in their students from an early age, starting with the punishments and strong corrections to which they subject them; Many times these punishments were imposed for "inappropriate" behaviors according to the teachers, such as playing, making noise, not cooperating or thinking differently (in an autonomous way), talking or interrupting and more normal attitudes in the children, but even so they isolated and aggressively reprimanded them for this type of behavior and all this justified in instilling "respect" in the students.
