Basic education in Spain is compulsory, but it has to be paid for in all schools.

✓ Falso

False. The Constitution says that basic education is compulsory and free. It includes Educación Primaria and Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, from 6 to 16 years old. It is free in public schools and in concertados (privately run schools funded by the Administration), which receive money from the Administration. Private schools do charge. Parents must enrol their children in school at those ages. Remember: basic education is for everyone, with no payment in public school.
