In education, the values that make life possible in society are transmitted and exercised and the habits of coexistence and mutual respect are acquired. Therefore, training in the respect of fundamental rights and freedoms and in the exercise of tolerance and freedom within the democratic principles of coexistence is, in accordance with Article 1 of the Organic Law 1/1990, of 3 October, the General Management of the Educational System, one of the most important goals to be pursued by the education system.

To this end, they must contribute not only the learning content transmitted in each of the stages of the educational system, but also, especially, the coexistence regime established in the center. The rules of cohabitation of the centre, regulating the rights and duties of the student, must promote the climate of responsibility, of work and effort, that allows all the students to obtain the best results of the educational process and to acquire the habits and attitudes contained in the Organic Law of General Ordination of the Educational System.

From this conception, it is necessary for the student to perceive that the norms of coexistence are not alien to the center, but have been elaborated and adopted by the whole of the educational community. Therefore, in the definition and implementation of the effective exercise of the rights and duties of the students, it is important that the autonomy of the center be strengthened.

It is also necessary that the rights recognized to students in Organic Law 8/1985, of 3 July, regulating the right to education, and which are developed in this Royal Decree, permeate the organization of the center, so that, exceeding the limits of the mere programmatic statement, the students can perceive their incidence in the daily life in the center. This is only possible if, in compliance with the provisions of the laws, the rules governing the internal system of the centre develop, concretely and adapt the rights declared to the special conditions of the centre, its educational project and its own needs. of the age and personal maturity of its students.

Both needs, therefore, lead to the desirability of providing educational centers with a great autonomy, both in the delimitation of their living standards and in the establishment of the mechanisms to enable them to ensure compliance. This autonomy of organization must also be understood in a global way, linked to an expansion of the margins of action in other fields: in the adaptation of the curriculum, in the definition of the educational offer and in the administration of the resources. The harmonious development of autonomy in these areas, which is included in Title IV of the Organic Law on the General Management of the Educational System, will enable the attainment of acceptable levels of quality in education.

The most important duty of students is to take advantage of the school post that society places at their disposal. Therefore, the interest in learning and class attendance, that is, the duty of the study is the consequence of the fundamental right to education.

on the other hand, in the definition and demand of the duties, it is necessary to take into account that the ultimate objective to be pursued is to reach, with the collaboration of all the sectors of the educational community, a framework of co-existence and self-responsibility that makes it virtually unnecessary to take disciplinary action. In any case, where these are unavoidable, the corrections must be of an educational nature and must contribute to the overall process of training and recovery of the student.

In the life of the educational institutions, different collectives are involved that are governed by specific norms; among them, it is particularly important from the educational point of view that it refers to the performance of the students, regulated by Royal Decree 1543/1988. It has therefore been judged necessary, and in the light of these principles and experience in the application of that rule, to draw up a new Royal Decree which will take account of the rights and duties of pupils and, in general, to help regulate the rules of cohabitation of the centres. The aim is to strengthen the autonomy of the institutions in the definition of their co-existence regime, to extend the rights of the students, to abolish those sanctions that entail the loss of the right to the continuous evaluation of the student and to establish a special regime for the rapid correction of those behaviors that do not seriously impair the coexistence in the center, it inserts in the process of formation of the student.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Education and Science, prior to the report of the School Council of the State, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of May 5, 1995,

DISPONGO:
