• Education plays an essential part in the creation and development of idealistic human beings who view the world as a perfectible reality and confide optimistically in the possibility of achieving progressively fairer, more inclusive and more democratic models of social organization. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) surveys plays a crucial role in the redirection of the education system. PISA measures only three competencies across all member countries: reading comprehension, mathematics, and science. A fourth competency – financial literacy – was added in 2012, but has thus far only been implemented in 18 states, including Spain. The meaning and purpose of education in Spain today have been redefined by the three main types of education in the country to legitimize social inequality and rationalize the stratification of society as the result of individual effort: public schools, private and charter schools.
