What are the general objectives of the
LOMCE?
No. The LOMCE is an amendment of the existing school

objectives are:
• To reduce the variety of requirements and demands of the
educational system throughout the country.
• To lower the drop-out rates in the compulsory educational
levels (pupils under the age of 16)
• To improve the rate of students achieving the level of
Compulsory Secondary Education.
• To improve students’ level of knowledge in basic subjects.
• To establish a clear system of indicators of progress
according to educational objectives,
• To increase the autonomy of schools.
• To generalise and spread the use of ICT for education.
• To promote and update vocational training studies.
• To improve the learning of foreign languages.
• To streamline the educational offer.

* Development of learning improvement programmes. ** Educational administrations can offer optional subjects to students at Lower Vocational to facilitate their transition to other studies. *** Students who have achieved a Middle or Higher Grade Technician certificate can also sit this exam. **** Each university can establish its own appropriate entrance exams.
When will it be implemented and in which
courses?
How does the LOMCE affect Key Competences?
The nomenclature and definition of Key Competences in the
LOMCE is based on a European Commission document on
21st century competences.
The LOMCE defines 7 competences:
• Linguistic competence
• Mathematical competence and basic competences
in science and technology
• Digital competence
• Learning to learn
• Social and civic competences
• Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
• Cultural awareness and expression

Optional subjects
Are some subjects more important than others?
With the LOMCE subjects are classified in three ways:
Obligatory core subjects• These are the same for pupils throughout the country at
each educational stage.
• They should take up at least 50% of the school timetable
and everything is established by the Government in
relation to these subjects.
Obligatory specific subjects• There are three of these and a student should study two in
each course; Physical Education and a choice between
Religion or Social and Civic values.
• Performance Indicators are established by the
Government in these subjects.
Elective subjects dependent on the Autonomous Community or School
• These subjects are designed by the each of the
Autonomous Communities.
• According to the stage, the offer of this type of subjects is
more or less wide-ranging.
• The only obligatory subject offered and programmed
each year at all stages is the Co-official Language in
Communities where this applies.

the LOMCEabout
Basic aspects of the LOMCE
How many assessments will there be and what
are the objectives behind these? (I)
3rd Primary• This is a diagnostic evaluation to detect difficulties and
implement improvement measures.
• Each Autonomous Community carries these out and
there are no academic repercussions.
6th Primary • This is an external exam, the same for students across
the country. The Government will develop and design
the evaluation criteria and characteristics for these
tests.
• Competences are measured: What the student knows
and knows how to do.
• The results will be informative and orientative for
Secondary.

4th Secondary• This is an external exam, the same for students across
the country. The Government will develop and design the
evaluation criteria and characteristics for these tests.
• There will be two final exams:
- 4th Secondary: Academic. Successful students are
awarded a Secondary Education Certificate (ESO
Diploma) in Academic Education, which is necessary to
enter Bachillerato.
- 4th Secondary: Applied. Successful students are
awarded a Secondary Education Certificate (ESO
Diploma) in Applied Education, which is necessary to
enter Vocational studies at the Middle Grade Training
Cycle level.
• Independently of the course studied at 4th Secondary,
pupils can sit whichever one of the two exams, and if they
should so wish, both of them.
• This assessment has academic repercussions because
students who pass are awarded the Secondary
Education Certificate.

Main changes by educational level
Other aspects adressed by the LOMCE
ask macmillan
the LOMCEabout
What changes affect Pre-School?
• So far, Pre-School Education continues to be regulated
according to the LOE. However, in the Official State
Bulletin (BOE) nº 295 in which the Organic Law for
the Improvement of Educational Quality 8/2013 was
published, on the 9th December, stated:
“Para el segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil... el Gobierno fijará los objetivos, competencias, contenidos y criterios de evaluación del currículo básico…”.
“El Gobierno establecerá las bases de la educación plurilingüe desde segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil hasta Bachillerato…”.
ask macmillan
the LOMCEabout
Main changes by educational level
How is Primary School organised?
• The main change is the disappearance of the three
year cycles (ciclos). With the LOMCE, Primary School is
a six-course stage.
• Breakdown of “Natural, Social and Cutural Sciences “
into “Natural Sciences” and “Social Sciences”.
• A student can only repeat a course once.
The subject offer in Primary is the following:

more than two subjects and if the subjects are not both
Maths and Language.

How is Professional Training organised?
How can Basic Professional Training be
accessed?
One of the main innovations of the LOMCE is the boost
given to Professional Training. A new stage has been
introduced in the Educational System; Basic Professional
Training. The Professional Training framework is now
structured in this way:
• Basic Professional Training
• Middle Grade Professional Training
• Higher Grade Professional Training
There are three main requirements to be fulfilled:
• Be 15 years old, or turn 15 over the course of the year
and not be older than 17 on accessing the course or
during the current calendar year of the course.
• Have studied 3rd Secondary (3º de ESO) or,
exceptionally, 2nd Secondary (2º de ESO). • Be proposed by teaching staff to parents or legal
guardians for Basic Professional Training.
ask macmillan
the LOMCEabout
Main changes by educational level
Are there common subjects in Professional Basic
Training?
What certification is achieved in Basic
Professional Training and what studies does this
give access to?
• The Basic Professional Training Certificate (Título de Formación Profesional Básica) is awarded on successful
completion of the Training Cycle.
• This facilitates access to Professional Training at Middle
Grade (Formación Profesional de Grado Medio).• Students also have the possibility of sitting the final exam
of ESO for either of the two existing options (Academic or
Applied). If they pass, they will be awarded the Secondary
School Leaving Certificate (título de Graduado en ESO).
