I have often said that education in Spain has worsened over the last fifty years. Almost whenever the government has changed, a new education law has been promulgated that, without exception, has always been worse than the previous one. The duration of learning has been lengthened. In 1963, I entered the university when I had just turned 17. Today nobody arrives there without having turned 18. Sometimes it is argued that children must learn more and need more time. It may be true, but do they really know more when they get to the university?
The answer to this question is undoubtedly negative. When they get to the university, the level of the students is low, they are not able to reason and sometimes they don’t even understand what they read. They are getting easier to manipulate. Perhaps this is what is intended.
