Schooling

In Spain, it is compulsory that children have to go to school between the ages of 6 and 16; regardless of their administrative situation.

After arriving and getting accommodation. When you have an accommodation, you will have an address (after making the "empadronamiento" procedure, the census register) and you will have to look for a school. The public sytem of schools gives the available spots according to many criteria; mainly distance, other brothers in the school, etc.
