    In Spain, pre school is not necessary but you can go if you want. It is split into 2 cycles the first being the ages up to 3 and the next being 3-5. Primary school starts at the age of 6-12. They ensure a free place for each child. Whilst in school, children get given assessments in order to track their progress. At the end of the 3rd year children are given a mathematic and language assessment.
    Also at the end of the 6th year, a science and technology assessment is also given. There is a possibility that the children could repeat years if there is no other option. All primary schools provide sciences, Spanish literature, mathematics and a first foreign language. There are 2 times in children have to go to school including 9-12am and 3-5 pm. Secondary schools are split into two sections which are ESO and Ballechirato. ESO is compulsory whereas ballechirato is preparation for Uni. The ages where you can attend is from 12-16.
    The summer holidays last up to 11-12 weeks. Students can only repeat the 4th year in secondary school if they have not repeated any of the other years.
