Returning to the long-awaited educational pact in Spain

Abstract

This article deals with the Education Pact in Spain, an issue that has been recurrently raised in political discourses and initiatives on education for some years now. Based on the study of the contributions on the subject recently published by various authors, the origin of the issue is analysed in the context of the Spanish Transition and the drafting of the Constitution. Likewise, it considers the role that the recent development of educational policy in Spain may have played in the relevance and meaning that the Pact now acquires, as well as in the possible formulation of its terms.
