Educative innovation

Andrea Rubio and Lorena Medina.
The main question is: can we change the education now a day, to become it into a better system? Such as the educative department says, it has considered the innovation like one of the motors of change of the educative system and an important element to improve the quality and the progressive adequate to the challenge that the social evolution propose.
An innovative education is that one that affects in what we learn and how we learn, that determinates priorities of the taste to learn, stimulus to think and the effort to understand and helps to wake up the critic sense of the students and the teachers.
The basic objectives of any innovation must be getting better into the school success of all the students. This sounds good, but we have to follow the old structure, that it’s the same, now. Under the law, schooling is compulsory between the ages of 6 and 16 years. There are 6 years of compulsory primary education and 4 years of compulsory secondary education. Children are usually 12 when they start secondary school, but some would not have reached their 12th birthday when they move up to high school because of having 12th birthdays which fall in the autumn term. Below the age of 6 years, schooling is optional and provision will depend on what is available in the area where one chooses to live. It is common to send children to school from about the age of 3 years but starting infant’s school at this age is not compulsory. Although the academic year runs from September until June, the children start compulsory schooling in the September of the calendar year in which they are 6 years old. In England and Wales children whose birthdays fall between September and Dec ember are usually the eldest in the class, but in Spain these children could be the youngest. In order to progress from one cycle of education to the next, students in Spanish state schools have to meet teaching and learning objectives, so compulsory schooling could last longer than what is the case in England and Wales where all students progress from one year to the n ext automatically, although there are current proposals to change this rigidity in England, so that high achieving pupils can progress more quickly than they otherwise would.
