Irish vs Spanish high schools 

Let me know what the education system is like in your country!!💕💕

I’m from spain and the amount of presentations we have to do is insane. The teachers think that knowing how to talk in public is really important, shy people spain will be your worst nightmare

In Spain only private/semi-private schools have uniforms, no public schools have them

In my high school (un Spain) we move to unother class every hour, in some subjects I am with other classmates.

don't👏🏻get👏🏻me👏🏻started👏🏻on👏🏻russian👏🏻school👏🏻system we have NO breaks longer than 15 minutes and you're not even allowed to leave school because "your life is our responsibility so stay where we can keep an eye on you" you study with the SAME 30 people for 11 FUCKING YEARS you have absolutely NO choice in subjects unless you go to a private/generally just really fancy school teachers genuinely HATE their jobs and complain about their life 24/7 (well maybe 89% of them) i had one (1) group project in my whole school life and only 4 people showed up once my teacher called my best friend fascist because my friend's REASONABLE opinion was different from hers, so she punished him in front of the whole class and made our principal call his parents to school so yeah i'm really happy i've finished high school this year (studying in ireland or spain would have been really nice hahaha)

Hi, just wanted to clear out that the education system in Spain varies a lot from place to place, every autonomous comunity has autonomy over certain things, like education, so even though there are country guidelines the system changes a lot depending on where you are, and also depends on the certain school you are at, things change a lot from public to private school. Things like school uniforms, the time you get in and out of school, the amount of subjects you can choose from, having a lot of presentations, group work and stuff really varies.

im from spain and this video expain so good the way spanish organize the education sistem its literally true everything.

She doesn’t sound Irish at all, she sounds American with spanish accent 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm from Spain and every lesson is in diferent classroom.

I agree with the teacher student relationship in Ireland it’s the same in my school

I am from Spain and if I confirm that the teachers are very close to the students and I dont like to be in a class during all hours, I would love to be in Ireland and move every hour and I would also love to pass with a four and not have to get a five

I’m spanish and I hate so much the presentations, is horrible😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Breaks in Balkan: 1 subject (45 min) 5 min break 1 subject (45 min) 20 min break 1 subject (45 min) 5 min break 1 subject ( 45 min) 5 min break 1 subject (45 min) 5 min break 1 subject (45 min) And then you go home😂

I’m from Galicia and I go to a public school, so we don’t have to wear uniform and you can literally wear whatever you want (without dress code). Our schedule is basically the same, we have 3 classes (50min each one), one break (30 min) and another 3 classes (50 min each one again). We start at 9:00 and end at 14:30 everyday, but Tuesdays we have class at afternoon too, so after going home at 14:30 we come back at 16:30 to have two classes (50 min each one) and end at 18:10. Our relationship with teachers is usually really close, as you describe it, tho it obviously depends on the teacher, but I wouldn’t say that we have many presentations... one for trimester in each subject approximately (it depends on the teacher as well). About moving in each class... it really depends on your subjects. In my case I have 3 subjects that are not in my class, but I have friends that have to move in almost every class. That’s how it is in my high school, but guess in each one it’s different, even if you are in the same autonomous community

4:47 "I don't know how they don't die of stress" Spoiler: I do. Anyways, I wish we only had to do pressentations lmaoo Sorry for my english

Bua llego a decirle a un profesor que le eche de menos y mis compañeros me mirarian fatal jajajahah. Buen video btw💕

En mi instituto nos movemos de aulas en todas las clases, depende mucho del centro

I’m from Spain and in the high schools of my area you move in every single class

So you commented that in Ireland there is barely no group work, well then i’m going to Ireland right now honestly

Finally a video about Irish secondary schools! This helps for my choice to become an exchange student

We don’t die of stress cuz of presentations because we are used to it and we don’t get anxious when they come around. We are just like “oh that again”

Well, it really depends on your high school. I'm from Spain and I always change my classroom and sometimes my classmates and you can wear whatever you want (without dress code)

I am from Spain and I agreed in soo many things, but in my school we move to different classes in every subject! I am from Valencia and i really love your videos, keep killing it!💋💋

The presentations we normally do ir to be prepared to speak in public or that is ehat they say my teachers in madrid

I was studying for my Spanish junior cert exam tomorrow when I saw this

Idk why but your videos relax me

Another amazing video

Gran canaria has probably one of the most simplest and easiest sistems of spain, i live in the basque country and i wanna die pd: no bad intentions, luvu🖤

at my school in the U.S. we need a 70% to pass!! we don’t have “D” letter grades; it goes from C to F. our classes are 1.5 hours long too so we only have 4 classes a day, and at the end of the semester we switch to a different 4 classes unless we have a year-long class. we have 8 total classes per school year.

I can't believe that you get to take so many classes! My school year is split into 2 semesters and each semester I take 4 classes. 1st class (1 hour 30 minutes) 2nd class (1 hour 30 minutes) Lunch (30 minutes) 3rd class (1 hour 30 minutes) 4th class(1 hour 30 minutes) School starts at 8 am and ends at 3 pm.

In my school (Scotland) You have 7 classes a day (we call them periods) Every period is 50 minutes You have 3 periods then a 15 minute break Then you have 2 periods and a 50 minute lunch break Then you have 2 periods and go home. We have to wear school uniform (uncomfy// the sweat goes all over ur shirt ew) every day We can stay in school for lunch or go out of school for lunch its great! School starts at 8:45 and ends at 3:45 But, on Fridays it ends at 1:00 pm!!! Its awesome On Fridays you have: 3 periods then lunch 1 period and then home time On Fridays after school I normally have lunch at home and just have a snack at lunchtime! Reading these comments makes me glad to go to my school lol 😂💕

I am from Morocco. We study 10 hours per day (include 2 hours of break). I study with same people in the same class and we have each week an English presentation so yeah I am living a nightmare.

I love your top so much ❣

YESS THE QUEEN HAS POSTED 🙌🏼🙌🏼

yayyy I rly liked this video! omg everything is so true. like yes we are close to our teachers, yes we have loads of presentations, yes we are under a lot of pressure aaggg ily🤧💜

ur outfit is cute!!!

I love your channel

In the US we have a sorta mixture of the two with the ways we do stuff, we start at 8:30 am and end at 3:40 everyday. In those days we have 8 periods but only 7 classes, one of those periods is your lunch period, each class on a normal day is about 55 minutes but our classes are in different rooms and you can take whatever you want like in Ireland, there are block days two days a week but that’s a lot more to explain so I’ll just leave that out. Our grades are based on percentages, but to pass a class you have to get a 70% or higher. Our overall final grades are calculated a bit different though. Throughout the year you take sumatives(tests/big projects) and formatives(quizzes/small projects) these affect your grade and then at the end of the first semester you take a midterm which tests you on everything you learned in the first half of the year(these are commonly double sumatives) and then again at the end of the year you take a final, in an non EOC class these are double sumatives, in an EOC class they are just a sumative. An EOC(end of course assessment) is taken in some classes in high school and it a standardized test by the state that is a sumative grade. However this isn’t in all schools but in my high school if at the end of the year you have an A in the class(90% of higher) then you don’t have to take the final. There’s also more I could talk about with AP testing and that stuff but I’ll leave that out. I hope this wasn’t too confusing and was useful to some people.

yup and the best part is that even though people in Spain study so hard and live under so much pressure in order to get a good job and a good salary, probably in the end a huge amount of them Will have to move to other countries like Ireland because the reality is that there's no work here, unless of course you decideto work in the summer as a waiter, recepcionist...but again you won't have work after that and if you do get a job related to what you studied you won't be paid fairly

As someone who have studied in both the Spanish and British education system . Most of the things you mentioned I completely agree except the uniform bit which in my case I never had to wear uniform back in my Spanish high school. I must admit that no longer having to do as many group projects /presentations has been such a blessing 😂💖

I live in Ireland but my schools has: 2 subjects (1 hour each) Break (15 minutes) 2 subjects (1 hour each) Lunch ( 45 minutes) 2 subjects (1 hour each) and we start at 8:10 and end at 15:30 I really don't like, I get so bored

thank you for the disclaimer, its very important

OVER 20 OPTIONS TO CHOOSE!!!!!! I can't belive it. I'm from Spain and that sounds great

In Germany my school starts at 7:45 a.m and ends at 1:05 p.m. We have a different schedule everyday and at most 5 classes a day normally 3 to 4 classes a day. Usually there are either two classes for 45 minutes or one class for 90 minutes and in between usually a 5 min break. After the first two lessons there's a 15 minute break and then there are going to be the next classes then break then the last classes for the day and then schools over. My school used to have after school activities as obligation but now you can choose if you want to or not.

Thanks, I randomly got here and it was surprisingly interesting. You are quite good at speaking clearly and to the point, unlike most 'vloggers' your age you can see on RU-vid ;) When you're saying you have 3 subjects and then one break, you mean there are still some breaks between subjects, right? I'm from Ukraine. Here and in Russia we have the same structure of the educational process. Kids at high school have around 6-8 subjects a day, 45 min each, usually 6 days a week. There are 10 min breaks between each subject and one 20 min break after the second or the third subject. School starts at 8, ends at about 14:30. Primary, middle and high schools are at the same building, usually, primary school is on the first floor of the building or separated somehow, and there is almost no separation between middle and high school. There is definitely a distance between students and teachers, like in Ireland. But of course, it could differ with different teachers - some might prefer to have close relationships with their students. At primary and middle school, your class has its own room, and teachers walk from class to class. But the older you get, the more specific classrooms you have to attend, like chemistry class, physics class, vocal class, etc. In high school, it's probably about half of all your classes. There are usually 2-4 routes, highly depending on school. Typical options are: maths, physics and IT; biology and chemistry; languages and literature. But around 60-70% of classes would be mandatory and the same for all routes. Like in maths class you would have 8 maths a week, instead of 3, and in medicine class you would have 6 biologies instead of 2 general for all. Otherwise, it's quite similar to the Irish system: rare presentations, more individual work, only final exams matters.

I’m Ireland our school have 30 mins for each class and school starts at 8:30 and finishes 2:45 ! We are really close with our teachers as well as we are really personal to them

Anna could you do a video on basic learning when it comes to Irish because I’m struggling so bad please

since you have lived in the usa, could you make a video about the differences between us schools and spanish schools?

In Sweden we have different classes everyday and we start and end at different times everyday. Instead of having like 3 classes, break, 3 classes, break, 3 classes etc we have eg on mondays maybe 3 classes in total with small breaks in between + lunch break, and on tuesdays we have 6 classes and end a lot later. Basically we have a weekly schedule instead of having 1 schedule we follow everyday. Also we dont wear any uniforms at all and we dont have any dress codes. We dont take finals at the end of each year, instead we get graded on the projects, tests etc we've done during the semester. In grades 1-9 everyone in the whole country takes the same subjects and gets the same exact amount of hours for each subject, but when we start high school (grade 10-12) our system is more like the spanish system, we choose between different "routes" that all include different subjects, though we have quite many different routes you can choose between and when you are choosing you are also choosing between if you want to be able to go to uni afterwards or if you want to go straight into working life. Also same as in Spain, the students are quite close to their teachers, but of course it depends on who the teacher is and some teachers students likes more and some less. We also switch between classrooms and do not stay in the same classroom the whole day.

I love u play "Ddaeng" at the end of the video 💛

Gran Canaria is my FAVOURITE place, I’d so love to live there 🇪🇸

you're so underrate

lmao Italian schools: 6 hours with 2 breaks of only 15 minutes, you can't leave school, we have no prom, no lockers and no choices of subject unless you go to a really fancy, expensive school, you don't change classes ever, you always stay with the same people, teachers most of the time are shit unless you're really lucky, we start at 8 and end at 14 and omg... let's not talk about how not clean the school is. never go to the bathroom in Italian public school. it's still fun tho.

yes in spain students tend to be very close with their teachers, not me though cause I dont feel comfortable

The opcional subjects are a shit in spain (at least at my school) , in 1rst, 2nd and 3rd of ESO you can just pick 2 opcional subjects (or one if you do french) because they Last a semester and then in 4rth you can pick 4 optional subjects but you still have 6 obligatory subjects

I don't know either how we don't die of stress doing the presentations😂

everything you said about Ireland is so true, depending on how the corona virus goes I might be going to Seville for a month on an exchange with my school next year, the one thing about it is I have to wear my irish school uniform in Spain 🙄

I love your accent💕

I'm from Spain, and (about subjects) it depends when and where you went. For example, in fourth grade of secondary school, like you said, there are only two options, but for example, in my old school, the ones who chose the business route had to choose economics and biology, and if you wanted to go to the "letters" (idk how it's called in english), you would usually have to pick economics and latin, but we couldn't bc they told us that "there wouldn't be enough people to choose latin", so they basically made us choose biology. This year however, I moved to another (private) school and we have the option to choose latin, but we have to take economics plus another weird subject that it's basically the same thing, but the one who go to the business route can't choose latin, they have to choose maths. The thing here is that I have a friend who's in a public highschool and she doesn't have economics, instead she has greek. Also, my mom has a friend whose daughter is in the same year that I am and in her school they don't have latin, you need to have maths, even if you don't want to or need to. So yeah, here things are weird.

I'm Spanish and last year I was studying in Galway. It's so funny because I thought the same EXACT things. Btw I loved your video 💕

In my school (spain) we start at 8:15 we have 3 subjects (50 minutes each) then a 20 minutes break, then 2 subjects, after that 1 break (20 mins) and finally other subject except some days that we have 7th period that is 1subject more after the last hour. We finish at 14:20!!! I love that system because as we have 2 breaks we can rest a little bit. We don't wear uniform but we're ful of exams and presentations and as you said relationships with teachers are so good (depending on the teacher and the student)

lately when i open yt idk why but you have uploaded a vid and idk if its just luck, cuz ya girl loved your vids💓, or if it just because im 24/7 on yt skhsjsks anyway love you💓💓

HOW DO YOU NEVER HAVE A UGLY DAY!?!?

I'm from Spain, in my high school every lesson is in a different classroom

In America atleast for my school we are really close with our teachers. Like about 5 months ago I had a small breakfast with my teacher and about 15 other people in my class! It was over at my teachers house

Most of schools here in Brazil have one break for 6 subjects. Besides that, the schools start 7a.m and going until 12:30 p.m (the time changes from school to school). Some schools have full time too.

That’s super weird, my secondary school has 6 hours of classes (2 hours then break then 2 hours then lunch then 2 hours) and 1 hour for break (15m for break and 45m for lunch)

i live in spain and i change classrooms for every period, it really just depends on the school

Having studied in Spain until I went to university, I had the same experience with most of your points, but two of them: the uniform, which is not actually worn in public schools, so I didn't have to wear one, and also I didn't feel like there were many group projects tbh, in my school most of our grades were based on exams, but yeah, it depends on the school

I think I prefer the Irish system just cos I’m used to it lol

I live in Russia and we have 7 lessons every day. After every lesson we have 10 minutes break (even when we have lunch). We go to school on Monday-Saturday (Saturday is a study day ;( it starts at 8am) Every lesson is in another classroom. We have most of the finals at the end of the study year (it begins in September and finishes in May). Russian students don’t choose the subject( we learn literally everything. Also we have only 4 marks. 2 is failure, 3 - ok, 4-good, 5-excellent. So I can say that education system here is a bit strange and difficult. Hope it was interesting cause as I know you’re russian)

In Dominican Republic depending in the school. For example where I studied it was, 3 classes, a break and 2 more classes (each class 45 minutes) From 8:00 to 12:00 or 2:00pm to 6:00

in my highschool, in Asturias, Spain, i have two subjets 1 break 2 subjets 1 break and then other 2 subjets. My classes starts at 8:30 and finish at 14:30

Here in the US my school does 4 classes one day which is 90 mins long, and another 4 classes the next day, It’s so much easier because I actually have time to do my homework, and the schedule is pretty easy, in between the 4 classes we get an ACP which is like lunch/study hall.

Your lunch break is 50 mins?! luckyyy:( mine is only 30 mins (im from ireland too btw hehe)

in England at my school teachers and students have a good relationship but kind of the middle of Spain and Ireland, we don’t hug or anything haha that’s a super weird concept to me but we have ‘banter’ and they seem like they enjoy their job if that makes sense

about changing classmates and classrooms, it's depends on the school and level. My high-school it's so small that there are only 2 groups of 2nd of Bachillerato (the last year). That means there are people with many different subjects. Students of the same group (A or B) only have 4 subjects in common (English, History, Spanish and Philosophy) , and 6 with different people and at different places

I am from Spain and we have several choices of subjects. We are not as friendly with teachers as you have said but I think we have a good relationship. 😊

In my high school in Spain every lesson is in a differenr class.

in ireland, i wouldnt say secondary teachers are close with students but definitely in the country.

I’m from Spain and we don’t have the same class all the time , we change the class in every subject and we finish at 16:30 , not all the schools in Spain are the same , you should had try to study in Madrid ❤️I wish I could go to Ireland one day

In my Spain school we have all the subject in a different class. What you say is between the 6-12 years old

Loool in my school we have 3 subjects every day (100 mins long each) with 2 breaks, one being 25 mins and the other being 40

Lol, I just did the opposite thing. I was studying abroad in Dublin and I'm from Spain

So true I've been to Ireland and Spain for two years

I don’t live in Spain or Ireland and So I can’t relate but I’m gonna watch anyways cuz ily :))

My school is like this: -3 classes, 1 break, 3 classes ( two days is like 3 classes, 1 break of 35 min, 3 classes, 1 break of 10 min, 1 class) - We don't use uniform -The school is fron 8:05 am to 14:30 pm - The proffesors are friends with the persons in the clases, is quite natural. - We can't choose the subjects

In belgium our school starts at 8:20 and ends 15:25 we have 7 lessons a day and 2 breaks, every lesson lasts 50 minutes and we have different classrooms for each lesson & also our first break is for 15 minutes and the lunch break 1 hour. to pass an exam we have to reach 50% and we do 1 presentation is 2 months. What do you guys think is that good? (also english is not my first language so)😁✌🏻

Well here in spain a lot of this things depend of the comunity, for exemple in catalonia we have the highest education lvl in spain and more optative clases, it also depends of the school.

Thats so insane that u only needed above a 40 or 50% to pass. In my school (Atlanta, USA) we need 75% or higher.

My School (In England) starts at 8:30 and ends at 2:45, We have 5 lessons: Sept/register/tutor Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Break time Lesson 3 Lunch or lesson4 Lunch or lesson 4 Lesson 5 (Lessons last 1hour each)

I‘m from Germany and we have always two lessons and a break Two lesson (each 45 minutes) Break (20 minutes) Two lessons (each 45 minutes) Break (20 minutes) Two lessons (each 45 minutes) And for than my normal day ends but one time a week I have after that a big break ( 45 minutes) again two lessons. I can’t speak for higher grades cuz right now i‘m in grade 9 but the 10 graders and the 8 graders are pretty similar. And one big difference is (to other countries) that middle school is from 5-10 grade and than you have something called high school. Where if you want you can go

I'm Spanish but I'm from Seville (Andalusia) not from Gran Canaria so I think that the differences are because of that. My school starts at 8:15 and ends at 14:45, I've 6 subjects (1 hour each) and a break of 30 min, I haven't got uniform not even for PE... BTW I love your vídeos 💕💕

My Irish school starts at 9am and finishes at 3:30 We have 4 subjects then 15min1 break 3 more subjects then 1 45min brek 4 subjects then home Each period is 30 mins long and in my school the teachers and class are very close, my favourite is the English teacher! Sorry your Irish school experience wasn't as nice as mine for the teachers but hey, I really like the food and the people are so nice

My high school in Spain starts at 8.30 at end at 15.00 The are 3 classes (1 hour each) a 30 minutes break and other 3 classes. We change classroom for each class and we don't really do presentations at all. As you said, we have a good relationship with some of our teaches. Also, there's no uniform cuz it's a public school Edit: we have different classmates depending on the optional subjects normally

Hello, first of all I want to say that I like your channel. I really like this video in particular as I had a similar experience. I studied in Spain, England and USA. I can say in Spain teachers are more approachable and warm. Otherwise, in England are more cold and tend to keep distance. In United States is a mix of both. As far as presentations, United States we have more presentations and essays than England and Spain. Grading wise as you commented in Spain you need 5 to pass or 50%, England it's 4 or 40% and United States it's 70% to pass with a C. once again I really like your channel, I would love to see more different topics between Ireland and Spain.

Each of classes are 54 minutes long which is some random number.. and we have 6 classes and 2 breaks. And when school ends changes depending on the day, on Friday its 3:30, Thursday its 3:15 and on Wednesday its 3:10. I have no idea who decided this, but it makes no sense..

It’s fun, because here in Chile we start at 08:00 a.m and we are done at 17:00, it’s like-

In Spain it depends on the autonomous community a language is spoken and education is also affected Catalonia, Valencian Community, and the Balearic Islands try to teach you Catalan and Valencian as a first and language Basque is spoken in Basque country And in Galicia Galician is spoken and a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish And I think that in the rest of the territory Castilian or Spanish is spoken as the first language, but everyone knows Spanish

The reason why in Spain we don't have a lot of choices on subjects is because University, if you are going to study Biology you need to understand chemistry.... And things like that.
