Education in Catalonia

Education in Catalonia is governed by regional policies within Spain, emphasizing multilingualism, civic values, and cultural identity. The system includes public, private, and semi-private schools, with instruction primarily in Catalan and Spanish, and some objects in other languages. It covers early childhood, primary, secondary education, and vocational training, all guided by standards set by the Catalan Department of Education. The goal is to promote academic excellence while fostering regional identity and cultural heritage, ensuring students develop critical skills and understanding of Catalonia’s unique history and language within the broader Spanish educational framework.
