What are the schools in el salvador like?

The education system in El Salvador is divided into three levels: preschool, primary, and secondary. Preschool is not mandatory, and is typically attended by children between the ages of 5 and 6. Primary school is compulsory and lasts for six years, from ages 7 to 12. Secondary school is not mandatory, but is attended by a large majority of students and lasts for three years, from ages 13 to 16.

The school year in El Salvador runs from January to November, and is divided into two semesters. The first semester runs from January to June, and the second semester runs from July to November.

The curriculum in El Salvador is based on the National Curriculum Framework (MCN), which was developed in 2010. Subjects taught in primary school include language, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, and physical education. In secondary school, students take a core curriculum of subjects such as language, mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as a range of elective subjects.

The quality of education in El Salvador varies from school to school. Public schools are often underfunded and overcrowded, and many students do not have access to basic resources such as textbooks and computers. Private schools are generally of a higher quality, but are also more expensive.

Despite these challenges, El Salvador has made significant progress in improving its education system in recent years. Enrolment in primary and secondary school has increased significantly and the government has invested heavily in improving the quality of education.
