Spain's education system has experienced frequent legislative changes, leading to debates about the need for greater stability.

Since the 1980s, six major education laws have been enacted, with the most recent being the Organic Law for the Modification of the Organic Law of Education (LOMLOE) in 2020. This pattern of reform often reflects shifts in political orientation, prompting discussions about establishing a long-term educational framework that transcends political cycles.

The National Plan of Reforms 2019 expressed the government' intention to reform the Organic Law of Education (Ley Orgánica de Educación, LOE) to achieve normative stability. Efforts have been made to initiate dialogue among the government, political parties, autonomous regions, and the education community to reach a consensus on a stable educational pact.

The European Commission's 2022 Education and Training Monitor, noted Spain´s early school leaving rate has decreased significantly since 2011, though it remains above the EU average. Additionally, Spain boasts a higher rate of participation in early childhood education compared to the European average. The monitor emphasizes the importance of social education with a sustainable approach, highlighting initiatives like the Environmental Education Action Plan for Sustainability 2021-2025 (PAEAS)

The Annual Report On the State of the Education System 2022, (Informe Anual sobre el Estado del Sistema Educativo 2022), prepared by the State School Council (Consejo Escolar del Estado) presents proposals for improvement. These include recommendations to enhance the efficiency of educational investment, improve the quality and effectiveness of education and training, and reinforce social cohesion.
