Education legislation in Spain has been a constant shift between the ruling political parties. Seven school laws have been legislated throughout 35 years of democracy, and that is one of the main issues Spanish education has faced in order to achieve adequate quality levels. And rural schools have not remained unaffected to this continuous swinging; basically, rural schools have been legislated from the perspective of compensatory education, whereas the vision of inclusive education within a framework of a diverse context aimed to effectively reduce barriers to learning and participation has been scarcely approached. In order to achieve that goal, political stability is needed, a major State Pact which is not foreseen at the present time.

Approved in 1984, the Education Improvement Act introduced programs to recognize and foster superior performance, identify and improve poor performance, and enhance student achievement. The Legislature supported this reform effort through an increase of one cent in the state sales tax.
The West Virginia Board of Regents, age 20, statewide governing board for higher education, died June 30, 1989 as a result of legislative termination. Like so many of its progenitors, the Board, an abstraction without constituencies or political proponents, was quietly written out of the State Code. There were no eulogies. In a retrospective search for the cause of death, the enactment, implementation, and termination of the Board were analyzed. The dynamics of the political processes through which the structure of higher education governance was modified during its two decades were documented. The political legacy and challenging cultural bequests of the Board were profiled. A political epitaph for the Regents included the following inscriptions. The governance structure of higher education in the great state of West Virginia is what the governor, the legislature, the campus presidents, and their creation(s), the board(s), perceive it to be. In its finest hours, structuring can be a political coalition, a partnership, dedicated to the public interest, striving for quality, access and excellence. In its darkest days, Structure can become a political target, an object of control, a source of rivalry and competition. Restructuring is a ritual within a highly individualistic political culture which reveres higher education as an instrument of government. Restructuring is invoked when one or more of the partners is shunned or shunted and, as a result publicly reveals that structuring is a political process. Then, structure must be sacrificed to restore trust, to revive public confidence in those entrusted with governance. Restructuring produces a new governance structure and reestablishes a process of structuring. ; Ed. D.
