POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN SPAIN. FROM THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION TO THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS OF THE AUTONOMOUS STATE.

CEA-APQ QUALITY SEAL: This book has received the CEA-APQ Seal of Quality in Academic Editions for monographs, granted by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) and the Union of Spanish University Publishers (UNE), dated 19/12/2024.

The book reviews the evolution of the Spanish educational administration from the creation of the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts in 1900 to the generalization of educational transfers to the Autonomous Communities in 2000. Each chapter examines the active central administration and, where relevant, the peripheral administration, as well as reviewing the consultative administration. Likewise, the educational policies developed in each historical period are described, relating them to the political circumstances that determined them. After the birth of the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, the attempt of administrative modernization of the Second Republic continues. After the Civil War, the first Franco regime reinforced bureaucracy, hierarchy and administrative centralism from the Ministry of National Education.

This bureaucratic model, and its failed evolution towards technocracy, will be exhausted in the late Franco era, when the new Ministry of Education and Science was created and the General Education Law of 1970 was enacted. The democratic transition to democracy brought a new attempt at administrative modernization, which was linked to the birth of the Departments of Education in each Autonomous Community at the end of the 20th century.
