The new organization of Primary Education is developed in Articles 16 to 21 of the Organic Law 2/2006, of 3 May, of Education, after its modification made by the Organic Law 8/2013, of December 9, for the Improvement of the of the Educational Quality. Article 6.bis attributes to the educational administrations the regulation of the curriculum and the organization of the teachings in the framework and with the limits established by the Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3, and by the Government.

Royal Decree 126/2014, of 28 February, establishing the basic curriculum of primary education, sets the basic curriculum for the whole territory according to the changes introduced in the Organic Law. 2/2006, of 3 May, of Education, by the Organic Law 8/2013, of 9 December, for the Improvement of Educational Quality.

The new curriculum will be integrated by the objectives of each teaching and educational stage; the competencies, or abilities to activate and implement in an integrated way the contents of each teaching and educational stage, for to achieve the right implementation of activities and the effective resolution of complex problems, the contents, or sets of knowledge, skills, skills and attitudes that contribute to the achievement of the objectives of each teaching and educational stage; and the acquisition of competences; the didactic methodology, which includes both the description teaching practices such as the organisation of teachers ' work; evaluable standards and learning outcomes; and the criteria for assessing the degree of competence acquisition and achievement of the objectives of each teaching and educational stage. The contents are sorted in subjects, which are classified in subjects, areas, areas and modules according to the teachings, educational stages or programs in which the students participate.

One of the central pillars of the educational reform operated by the Organic Law 8/2013, of December 9, rests on a new configuration of the curriculum of Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate. In the block of subjects, knowledge and skills are guaranteed to acquire a solid formation and to continue to use the later stages in those subjects that must be common to all students, and that In any case, they should be evaluated in the final stage evaluations. The block of specific subjects allows for greater autonomy in the setting of schedules and contents of the subjects, as well as for shaping their offer. The autonomy-free-configuration subject block assumes the highest level of autonomy, in which educational administrations and in their case the centres can offer their own design subjects, including the the stem or specific materials. This distribution is not due to the importance or instrumental or fundamental character of the subjects, but to the distribution of competences between the State and the Autonomous Communities, according to the Spanish Constitution.

In line with Recommendation 2006 /962/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on the key competences for lifelong learning, this order is based on the empowerment of learning by competences, integrated in the curriculum elements to promote a renewal in the teaching practice and in the process of teaching and learning. New approaches to learning and evaluation are proposed, which have to be a major change in the tasks to be solved by students and students and innovative methodological approaches. Competition involves a combination of practical skills, knowledge, motivation, ethical values, attitudes, emotions, and other social and behavioral components that are mobilized together to achieve effective action. It is therefore considered, as knowledge in practice, a knowledge acquired through active participation in social practices which, as such, can be developed both in the formal educational context, through the curriculum, and in the non-formal and informal educational contexts.

Competencies, therefore, are conceptualized as a "know-how" that applies to a diversity of academic, social, and professional contexts. In order for the transfer to different contexts to be possible, an understanding of the knowledge present in the competencies is indispensable, and the linkage of this with the practical skills or skills that integrate them.

Learning by competencies favors the learning processes themselves and the motivation to learn, due to the strong interrelationship between their components: knowledge of conceptual basis ("knowledge") is not learned outside of its use, of "know-how"; nor is it acquired a procedural knowledge ("skills") in the absence of a conceptual knowledge base that makes it possible to make sense of the action taken.

The name of the key competences defined by the European Union is adopted. It is considered that "the key competences are those that all people need for their personal development and development, as well as for active citizenship, social inclusion and employment". Seven key competences essential for the well-being of European societies, economic growth and innovation are identified, and the knowledge, skills and essential attitudes attached to each of them are described.

The role of the teacher is fundamental, because it must be able to design tasks or learning situations that enable problem solving, the application of knowledge learned and the promotion of the activity of the students.

The curriculum review takes into account new learning needs. Skills-based learning is characterised by its mainstreaming, its dynamism and its integral character. The process of teaching-learning competence must be addressed from all areas of knowledge, and by the various bodies that make up the educational community, both in formal and non-formal and informal fields; The dynamism is reflected in that the competencies are not acquired at a certain moment and remain unalterable, but they involve a process of development by which the individuals acquire greater levels of performance in the use of the same.

In order to achieve this process of curricular change, it is necessary to foster an interdisciplinary vision and, in a special way, to allow greater autonomy for the teaching function, in order to satisfy the demands of a greater personalization of education, taking into account the principle of teacher specialization.

Organic Law 2/2006 of 3 May, as amended by Organic Law 8/2013 of 9 December, sets out in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of Article 120 that the educational institutions will have autonomy to prepare, approve and execute a educational project and a management project, as well as the rules for the organisation and operation of the centre. Educational administrations will enhance and promote the autonomy of the centers, so that their economic, material and human resources can be adapted to the work and organization plans they produce. The centres, in the exercise of their autonomy, may adopt experiments, plans of work, forms of organization, norms of coexistence and extension of the school calendar or of the teaching schedule of areas or subjects, all within the the possibilities for the applicable rules.

Teachers, from daily teaching practice, become the real driver of change in their educational community. The educational centers and their management teams are the unit of management for this change, which must pursue the improvement of the quality of the educational system.

Students and students, at the end of the stage, must have the knowledge, skills and basic skills, individual and team work habits, effort and responsibility in the study, as well as attitudes of self-confidence, critical sense, personal initiative, curiosity, interest and creativity in learning and entrepreneurship, enabling them to be incorporated into the later stage.

The educational process needs to lead to the acquisition and development of key competences and be characterised by their ability to adapt, but by responding to common principles, in a coordinated manner, to ensure their effectiveness.

Article 122.bis of the Organic Law 2/2006 of 3 May, incorporated by the Organic Law of 9 December 2013, promotes the development of actions aimed at promoting the quality of educational institutions through reinforcement of their autonomy and the empowerment of the directive. Such actions shall include measures for the recognition of institutions which achieve an increase in their educational quality.

The development of quality education projects will involve the specialization of the teaching centers, which will be able to understand, among others, actions aimed at curricular specialization, excellence, teacher training, to improve school performance, to the attention of students with specific need for educational support, or to the contribution of didactic resources to shared digital platforms.

The educational action must be adapted to the specific circumstances in which the teaching center is developed so that all students can achieve the maximum possible development of their abilities, individual and social, intellectual, cultural and emotional, as well as the efforts and general approaches that the center has approached to progressively raise the level of academic results of all students and students and the degree of integration of the and for the reduction of school failure.

The school and educational model capable of carrying out this mission assumes the task of synchronised, autonomous and contextualized performance of professional teaching teams, which are tailored to the needs of the needs of each and every pupil and pupil and implement a wide and diverse repertoire of pedagogical and methodological strategies capable of creating enriched learning environments which, in addition to stimulating motivation, curiosity and involvement, provide diversity of paths and resources so that, regardless of the style of learning, all pupils and students develop their skills and potential.

In Organic Law 8/2013 of 9 December, the evaluation takes on a renewed role. The evaluation of learning processes is particularly relevant during Primary Education, as it allows us to know the achievement of the objectives and the acquisition of the competences, and helps to carry out early diagnoses and the establishment of the strengthening mechanisms to achieve school success through its implementation through curricular development.

Depending on the results obtained in the different evaluation processes, and the accountability, the centers will establish specific improvement plans, for which they will determine the objectives and strategies that will be part of their annual general programming and will be contrasted in the final memory.

The final provision of Royal Decree 126/2014, of 28 February 2014, empowers the person holding the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport to dictate how many provisions would require the application of the provisions of this Directive. royal decree, without prejudice to the powers of the Autonomous Communities.
