[ send me this paper ]

Specialized training is less developed in Spain, and both nations have difficulties with dropout rates as teens move beyond the age of compulsory education. It appears that at least in the primary and secondary levels, Spain can provide lessons for the world. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
