Spain Bachillerato: Physical Education

Physical Education (PE) is a compulsory subject in the two-year Bachillerato program in Spain. This post-16 stage of education, similar to A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate, prepares students for university. While PE is compulsory, it is considered a non-core subject. Students typically have two hours of PE per week. The curriculum aims to promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. The current core PE curriculum is established by Real Decreto 1105/2014. This decree outlines the basic curriculum for both compulsory secondary education (ESO) and Bachillerato.
