Less money to serve more students at a time of crisis for families brutal. This is the picture that for months have been denouncing the unions and associations of parents and students and confirming (albeit with less serious figures) official statistics of the Ministry of Education: Students will be 8.05 million (136,000 more than the previous year, a 1.7% increase) that will meet public expenditure on education (both the ministry and the communities and municipalities) that was reduced in 2012 to 1,120 million from a year earlier, and in 2013 will go down at least another 3,000 million. One consequence of this is that more than half a million students will lose their support for school materials and textbooks.
However, the ministry scholarships ensures that reach 15,000 people despite having 185 million less than in 2011-2012. The following are the main points of the advance of official statistics course that started last month:
"The investment falls for the third year. Public spending on education ministry estimated that this year is 50.448 million euros, 1,120 fewer than in 2011 and 2.123 million less than in 2009, the peak of investment in education in the history of Spain. That is the data that the ministry considers taking the initial budgets for 2012, ie excluding adjustments hack decree signed six months ago by the government and expects to cut another 3,000 million between this year and next.

And in any case, estimates that unions still doubting, believing that fall short, says Juan Martinez, head of the Office of Studies of CCOO. The Ministry of Education has insisted in recent months and over again that "greater investment is not synonymous with best results" as repeated on Monday in Congress Secretary of State for Education, Montserrat Gomendio.
»More scholarships for less money. Ministry also estimated that the number of trainees will increase this year even though the money for that item drops that is, scholars estimate that there will be 15 000 185 000 000 more with less. Among the ministry's fellowships are the general call (those granted by level of income to study or travel, or to keep in the case of the poor), but also others such as Erasmus, in this year 2012 and declined 40% (out of a budget mostly grants 2012-2013) and will fall another 60% in 2013.
"The only explanation is that the amounts of the grants will mean less to reach more people," says Martinez, because of the general budget has frozen two years and also have tightened the academic requirements to access and maintain. In fact, experts in university funding Juan Hernández Armenteros (University of Jaén) and Jose Antonio Perez Garcia (Polytechnic University of Valencia) estimate that this year will lose the scholarship at around 17.3% of beneficiaries in the campus.
"The aid will remain in third. What does support the ministry is that this course other aid recipients fall by almost a third of which was: down from 923,000 to 344,000, ie lose over half a million schoolchildren. This category includes the purchase of textbooks and teaching materials of compulsory education and academic pricing exemption (especially college tuition) to large families of three children.
Since the latter are those that are (half exemption from tuition for these households is recognized in the law), will suffer major blow to aid textbooks and free programs whose budget under ministry in 2012 by 76%.
There will be less money to distribute among most scholars
"So many students as 20 years ago. The 8.05 million students in nursery, primary, secondary, vocational school and this course will fill classrooms throughout Spain are 136,000 more than last year, and 800,000 more than in 2007-2008 (in 2008 spending public was 50,200 million, very close to the data of 2012).
To find a similar number of students in classrooms must go back nearly 20 years, the academic year 1993-1994. Highlight improvements in education (40,000 students more than last year) and primary (almost 36,000). Juan Martinez insists also on the increase experienced by students since 2009 (more than 440,000, 5.8%): "The ministry can not continue to justify that investment in education in Spain is not the problem with investment data by student 2009, when spending was on top and had far fewer students, "he complains.
»Back to the classroom. Reference to the percentage increases, stands at 4.2% rise in the vocational students. There are nearly 26,000 students more than a year ago FP, to almost 640,000.
But among all the ups highlight of distance learning. This mode in FP grew 15.7% to 38,000 students. In high school, it has a 9.2% to 42,000. Distance learning is a clear path for the reinstatement of youth who left school early and who have been thrown into unemployment during the crisis. The dropout remains one of the biggest problems of Spanish education, but with 26.5% in 2012 is located in the lower figure of history: in 2009 were almost a third of young people aged 18 to 24 years they had left the books after the ESO.
In this context, many experts have complained about the contradiction that brings the crisis: a return to the classrooms of thousands of young people through cuts that hinder their school attendance. For example, the distance FP platform supported by the Ministry of Education was virtually nothing to suffer a cut of 12.3 million accounts in 2012.
The ministry, meanwhile, has insisted on numerous occasions that the FP is one of its big bets: Gomendio said on Monday in Congress a program of 20 million euros to fund pilots of new dual degrees in VET (which combine work and study at the same time).
»More weight of the public. Another consequence of the crisis is the transfer of students from private education to this concert and the public, especially in the non-binding steps, which in most communities are not subsidized. Thus, children go to public 65.1% of students (two courses previously 64.5%) and 76% of high school graduates, 1.6 points more than in 2009.
