| Abstract The purpose of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the education systems performance in Spain from a geomatic and cartographic perspective. Currently, the rapid technological changes and the globalization of the economy require that each country train and educate their young people for a knowledge based society in order to cope and meet adequate living standards of their citizens. It is a real challenge to identify the characteristics of the best performing education systems. This, in turn, may be useful to support educators and policy makers in different scenarios. Though there are many studies carried out about this research topic, they are focused in a mathematical, economical or sociological perspective. However, in this work we followed a geomatic and cartographic approach. Spain is a highly decentralized country since the last Constitution in 1978 and the education competences were transferred to the regional governments. This research was possible because the availability of many education statistics and indicators which are gathered regularly by national agencies and international organizations (OECD, Eurostat, World Bank). These education statistics, together with some relevant socioeconomic data, were linked to base maps and structured in a GIS database. Within the GIS framework multiple geomatic products were obtained: thematic maps, 3D models, virtual globes and animations. These were helpful tools to identify patterns and relationships, find evidences and detect changes. All these elements were very useful to compare and evaluate the regional education systems performances and their relations with the socioeconomic systems. The discussion of the results allowed us to identify the characteristics of the most successful and efficient policies and practices. These findings might be useful for education experts and policy makers when considering new strategies to increase the possibility of success in the management of complex systems such as the education system. | |
