The first stage, ESO, or Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, is for 12- to 16-year-olds. It is free and compulsory and includes both vocational and academic subjects. Students are awarded the Título de Graduado en Educación Secundaria on successful completion at age 16 and can leave school at this point. If they choose to continue their education they go on to the second stage, which consists of either the academically orientated Bachillerato or the vocational Formación Profesional Específica.See:* * ** * *Ex.
