Public schools are free: the State and the comunidades autónomas (autonomous regions) pay for the teaching, although families buy books or materials, sometimes with grants. Teachers are civil servants who get their post by competitive exam (oposición) and each school does not hire them. The number of places is set by the education authorities. Private schools, on the other hand, charge fees.
