School Hours
Spanish schools typically run from 9 AM to 5 PM with a long lunch break from 12-3 PM, reflecting the siesta culture.
Education Levels
Education is divided into Primaria (6-12 years), ESO (12-16 years), and Bachillerato (16-18 years) before university.
School Meals
Many Spanish schools provide hot lunches. Students often go home for lunch if they live nearby due to the long break.
University Access
Students must pass the Selectividad exam (now called EBAU) to access Spanish universities after completing Bachillerato.
