The Central Government of Spain has unveiled a new draft law which proposes changes to the proportion of the School curriculum set by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.
The Central Government currently determines around 65 - 75% of the school curriculum in the majority of regions, falling to 55 - 65% in the regions which have their own language, such as Valencia, Catalonia and the Basque Country.
This reform was originally put forward as a pledge by the PP in the 2011 pre-election campaigns.
In an interview with state television network TVE on Thursday, the minister responsible for education, José Ignacio Wert, said it was "not acceptable" that the current system "ended up providing 17 different education systems."
The reform will also set exams at the end of compulsory secondary education and the pre-university Bachillerato course; create a new stage within the compulsory secondary education, known as basic Professional Training; support the financing of public single-sex schools and allow administrations to change working conditions at public education centers.
A draft bill of the proposals is expected to be put before Congress in the next few weeks.
