Abstract

We can define the school failure as an administrative fact that the student may not achieve the minimum academic degree or as the fact that the student does not reach certain minimum level of knowledge, as defined in PISA studies. With the first definition, Spain is a country with a level of school failure much greater than the OECD average, but with the second definition the school failure is much closer to the average of OECD.

It also notes that the repetition of course is much greater in Spain, and the fact that students who do not get repetitions get results similar to the youth of the countries that score better in PISA. It seems that high rates of school failure in Spain are due more to high standards of education that the low level of students.

Furthermore, the article analyzes the factors that affect school failure, as youth unemployment, the funding per student and the educational level of the family. Article concludes that, despite being the result of many factors, the most influential in school failure are related to processes that happen outside the school, as the educational level of the family and the labor market.
