The teenagers,fail most subjects in Spain . Today, 40% of students are lack of study, because there are unequal in schools.

The 40% of students from disadvantaged families in Spain, that are performing poorly in maths, compared to 8% of disadvantaged students who did not reach the considered “core competence”. That is , the socio-economic personal characteristics, family and students determine their performance in the education system and this doesn’t connect these differences enough to ensure equal opportunities. it is the main conclusion of the report performed by students: why are left behind and how to help them succeed, released today by the OECD, which is set at students who don’t achieve a basic level of knowledge in mathematics, reading or science. In total, 13 million students in 15 years from 64 countries that are embedded in a vicious circle of poor performance and lack of motivation that often leads to poor grades and an early exit from the school system, and in Spain, it affects one in four students of that age.

Countries where educational resources are distributed more equitably,the number of low achievers in mathematics is less, and it increases the number of excellence.
