Durante el curso 2023-2024, más de un millón de estudiantes recibieron apoyo educativo.

This statistic includes information, on one hand, about those students with special educational needs associated with disabilities or severe disorders, which have risen to 292,897 (25.9% of the total) during the mentioned course. The most common disabilities in these students are autism spectrum disorders (31.4%), intellectual and severe communication and language disorders (24.7%), and severe (13.9%).

These students, representing 3.6% of the total number of students enrolled in non-university education, are mostly (85.2%) attending regular centers, while the rest (14.8%) are in special education centers.

On the other hand, 838,919 students received educational support related to needs not covered in special offers. Specifically, 40.7% due to problems derived from socio-educational vulnerability situations and 27.7% due to learning disorders. The rest is distributed among students with mild and moderate language and communication development disorders, attention disorders, or high abilities, among others.

Today’s published data show that public centers are the main ones assuming the schooling of these students. In the case of those with special educational needs, they represent 4% of the students in the public network, 3.6% in charter schools, and only 0.8% in private schools. While those with other specific needs represent 11.6%, 9.4%, and 2.9%, respectively.

It should also be mentioned that men are the majority in students with specific educational support needs (60.5%), a percentage that increases for students with special educational needs (70.1%), decreasing slightly for other specific needs (57.1%).

Every year, the Ministry launches the call for aid to address students in need of educational support due to disability (25% reduction from the current course), severe behavioral disorders, severe communication or language disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or high abilities.

In this academic year, with an investment of 265 million euros, around 220,000 students received one of these grants aimed at covering needs such as enrollment, school supplies, transportation, meals, residence, educational reeducation, or specific programs for high abilities.

The call for these grants for the 2025-2026 academic year opened on April 30 and ends on September 11.
