Bachillerato
The Bachillerato is a title obtained in Spain after successfully passing the Prueba de Evaluación de Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad (PEvAU). This gives those affected access to the university entrance exams ( Pruebas de Acceso a la Universidad ), popularly known as selectivity ( Selectividad ). In most other Spanish-speaking countries, too , comparable school-leaving qualifications are called Bachillerato .
The selectivity is intended to objectively assess the academic maturity of the student, as well as to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired in the bachillerato and his ability to successfully pass the official university degrees. Only passing this test is the equivalent of the Abitur or Matura .
The two school years to achieve the Bachillerato optionally follow on from the Educación Secundaria Obligatoria . As the last level of secondary education, it is voluntary and lasts two years, usually between 16 and 18 years of age.
