A look at the new Education Law

The passing of the Organic Law 3/2020, 29 December, which is popularly known as LOMLOE, puts in place a process of reform of the Educational System in Spain.

The aim of the law is to ensure the provision of a quality education with equal opportunities for one and all. LOMLOE aims to help equip young people with the necessary competences to meet the demands of the global and digital world of today and tomorrow: to meet the demands of societal change.

Key focuses

The LOMLOE sets out five key focuses:

Children’s rights

The right to education of every child in accordance with the UN Convention set out in 1989.

Gender equality

Ensuring gender equality, preventing gender violence, respecting diversity and ensuring an inclusive and non-sexist education.

Continuous improvement of educational centres and attention to educational needs

A competence-based approach (ie. using knowledge to do / achieve things) that gives schools more freedom to personalise learning based on their students’ needs.

Sustainability and global citizenship

A focus on sustainable development and global citizenship. The development of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to help young people take an active role in solving problems common to all of us at a local and global level. This includes protecting the environment, but also upholding human rights and an intercultural education. It involves developing empathy in young people for their natural and social surroundings.

Digital competence

The development of digital competence. We learn, interact, shop and spend our free time in the digital sphere and our education should prepare us for this – going beyond merely mastering how to use digital tools towards a judicious use.
