Transcript of Unemployment and education in Spain
UNEMPLOYMENT
Spain is the European
country with the highest rate of unemployment,
just behind Greece.
22% unemployment
The main cause:
- It is an economy based on tourism and building sectors.
- The industry sector is not highly developed.
There is a historical problem of structural unemployment in Spain.
PROBLEMS:
It is an old-fashioned system of education.
It is based on the adquisition of knowledge.
It is not focused on preparing students for work life.
It is becoming more expensive
every year.
The investment in education has been cut
down, so there are fewer grants.
As a consequence, it is causing a
gap among social clases.
The education policies of the
present government have
been a disappoinment
for all the school community:
students, parents and teachers.
The Minister of Education,
responsable of the policies, is the most unpopular
person in the government.
Invest in new economic sectors to
create employment.
Change in society (new ideas for a
new society)
No tolerance with
corruption
Education as a way of creating
employment.
