Tribute (II)

A second aim of this special tribute to the English, often neglected but is important to me: how has it changed the educational level of the English depending on the size of the municipality of birth. Always impact on gender inequalities in education, or regions, which is, of course, important. But no less important is that children born in a big city have equal opportunity to study wherever they want than those born in the smallest village in Spain (today Illán de Vacas, Toledo, although five people do not think has seen many births in recent decades).

Figure represents as above, the average evolution of the English studies, this time by the size of the municipality of birth. In it we see how the size of the municipality of birth seems to condition the possibility of developing studies, at least in part, and that has been so for many decades. Graphic data (see methodological note ) refer to the size of the municipality in 2001, not when the reference person was born, which will introduce some distortion in the chart (especially among the older), but there is no thing.

first thing you see in the picture (at least me) is that the lines are quite parallel, although in the last decade covered by the chart seem to converge, ie, inequality seems to decrease. Since then, the lines for municipalities with fewer inhabitants grow, and if we look at the minimum (compulsory education: the data not shown in the graph) were born in 1975 had a very similar school failure were born in rural or urban. The difference was still at high levels, especially the university: this is due to those born around 1974 in large cities appear to decrease their level of education, as is the effect rather of those who are in college and have not yet titled .

If this is attached to a matching process with other communities, and the parallel process of convergence with Western Europe, it seems that the LGE, the Moncloa Pacts and English gave himself enough to be satisfied: the system seemed to combine the process of reducing differences on a very steep increase of average educational level of the English. But this did not seem enough, and change the law
