The Pfizer Foundation has released the "Study on immigration and Spanish education system" in which education has been analyzed in Spain in the general population, teachers and immigrants with the main objective of knowing the views on the inherent characteristics of the system as are mandatory, universal and free education. As explained by the director of the Pfizer Foundation, Francisco Pascual Spanish education system is valued in a "very positive" because, in his view, "all aspects analyzed get high scores by all three segments surveyed." Most of the findings underscore the good perception of the Spanish education system in the three groups surveyed also coincide on many opinions about everything when it comes to affirm that the adaptation has been positive. In this regard, the three groups studied have a positive overall assessment of the Spanish education system, the immigrant population is what gives you the highest rating (7.94 points compared to 6.3 for teachers and 6.02 of the Spanish population).
