Our politic

Our fundamental goal is to support the foreigners’ knowledge about Spanish educational system. In addition, we want to contribute to social and educational progress through knowledge of institutions. For this, images of the real interior of these institutions are freely and freely disseminated.

Thus, this Website aims to be a transparent window for students, families, experts, administration of the educational system, etc. The project shows the functioning of educational organizations using techniques and strategies typical of the audiovisual knowledge. This makes it possible to bring schools and education system closer.

On the other hand, this Website supports the on-line and autonomous training. The platform is an aid and a basic and complementary introduction, for people in charge of designing and implementing education at the primary level (administrations, educational heads, teachers, etc.) a window to see what happens in Spanish schools, showing the praxis, contributing to the knowledge of the educational reality transparent to society…

The project aims to show Spanish primary schools, their activities and the main people performing their tasks.

Features of this educational Website:

  • a) It is planned, with several phases: objectives (creation of a WEB site to show the interiors of Spanish primary schools…); forms of data collection, recording, and analysis (documentation, video-recordings …); testing and evaluating the Website (by academics and education experts who have analyzed strengths and weaknesses); and dissemination of results.
  • b) It has data collection that meet criteria of validity, reliability, and thus the main ideas and functions are described is derived for the Spanish regulation and legislation at one specific time. Whereas some features may change.
  • c) It is original, thus a previous study has indicated that there is no example of similar Website on the Internet.
  • d) The authors are committed to the principle of equality and non-discrimination between people, and references are made in the texts to people by way of example without wanting to discriminate, offend, or belittle anyone, always considering the Declaration of the General Assembly as fundamental. December 10, 1948, which reaffirms that everyone has all the rights and freedoms regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, caste, religion, beliefs, sex, gender, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual characteristics, age, health, or other condition.

The project aims to show educational institutions with techniques typical of the audiovisual knowledge society. It is an attempt to spread the school organization, its activities and the main people performing their tasks.
