This lesson talks about as I have already mentioned, the evolution of the Spanish Educational System. Firstly, it explains the evolution from the Ancient Regime to the Moyano Law giving us information about the different constitutions, pans and regulations implanted along with its objectives about education. Secondly, it talks about what the Moyano Law is and how it classifies education by levels. Lastly, it explains the other periods of time that education has been through after the Moyano Law such as the 1st Republic, the Spanish Constitution, etc.
In my case, the preliminary ideas that I have are that education has come a long way since the earlier centuries such as the 16th and 17th century. In them days education was only for those who were noble where as now everyone has a chance at a free education. Also, I know that in them days education was controlled by the church, something that doesn't happen now. To sum up, education was only for those who were wealthy and education now is public and free.
The most difficult part of the lesson was understanding the freedom and implantations of schools in a general form, especially as from the Moyano law. From what I understand, primary education was free for those who could afford it, this to me was unfair as if you had money, you should pay while those who were struggling economically should get it for free. To help me I think I need to learn a detailed explanation about the evolution of the schools through the years. I was looking around for some authors to explain step by step the changing in schools and the accessibility economically for each stage. I found an article from Sebastian Den Bak who explains this in a super easy way. It requires a long attentive read but he has helped me understand a lot about this topic. He explained in so much detail the evolution of the Spanish education along the 20th century, the characteristics of the educational system during the 19th century and the changes that took place during the political stages. It also states the objectives and development of each teaching level, the school curricula, the professors and their education. This review helps us understand the achievements that have been made and the limitations we face in the 21st century. The difference between this article and what I had in the lesson is how much clearer you see things. It's now not just basics, its the whole story. Really worth looking at.

I was intrigued about learning about the Public Instruction in Spain, which got me looking for websites. I finally came across one written by Consuelo Flecha García which was a bit confusing at first but after a couple of reads and an explanation from my mum, I ended up understanding it. It is quite interesting. ''The first two ministers of Public Instruction and Fine Arts belonged to different political parties, one conservative and the other liberal. However, they guaranteed that their ideological differences would not interfere with their decisions and qualitative outputs. The obligation of the state to defend the right to education and its duty to inspect and regulate schools were among the most important measures they established. They also made a commitment to modernize secondary school curricula and include technical subjects. Teacher colleges were reformed, and an official salary for teachers was established and published in the State Budget Report. Continuing education was also contemplated, and the ministry established grants for students to study abroad. These measures were a response to issues that had been discussed over the years but not resolved.'' I have decided to post this piece of information because, even though it isn't the most important topic in the lesson, when I came across it, it was interesting and I personally believe that we should spend time debating about these kind of topics.

I present you the incredible Moyano!!!
This is a video I found about the church and the State in education during the 19th century. I believe that this video gives us a got amount of information and it explains very clearly a doubt that could be very common. It resolved my problem anyway. The video isn't very entertaining, but if you pay close attention, what the mas has to say is.
