This document is about the Organic Law of Education (LOE), and it reflects the different topics that this Law defend related to education. It is about the different contents of this Law and some questions about the topic.
It is a difficult work because it's a Organic Law and it's difficult to summarize (all the information is important) so we had to select the more relevant data.

In 1970, most of the children weren’t in school, but nowadays this problem has been solved. Despite of that, there was other problems, and for solve them, there were ten organic laws of education: LOECE, LRU, LOGSE, LOPEG, LOCE, LODE, LOU, Professional Formation Law, and finally LOE.

The LOE was a law to achieve a consensus. It wasn’t a constitutional impugnation object, it could be a prudent law that chase the educational system stability and arrange the reforms made.

It is a law that assume some principles, criteria and structures from the other laws repealing such as LOGSE, LOPEG or LOCE, adding new problem solutions detected by the educational community.

There are two principal aims that this law chase:

   -Reinforce the incurred achievements in the last thirty years.

   -Think the correct way to face mistakes made and do the necessary modifications.

If those aims would be achieved, this law would solve the most important problem of the educational system: achieve the high education quality with most social equity as much as possible.

According to this law, the essential education will be primary and secondary education. The government will fix basic competences, contents and evaluation criteria, the educational administrations will establish the curriculum and schools will develop the curriculum in the different stages.

Primary education will be organized in areas with a global character, and educational administrations could add a second foreign language. Tutors will guide the individual and collective educational process of students.
