Princess Leonor began, this Monday, a new stage in her academic life at Carlos III University in Madrid. This transition marks the end of an important phase in her education, after completing secondary education and mandatory military training.

Leonor will attend the Political Science course for four years at the aforementioned university. This academic choice comes as preparation for her future role as future sovereign of Spain.

Before entering higher education, the princess completed intensive military training in the three branches of the Spanish Armed Forces. This experience gave her discipline and practical knowledge that she now complements with academic studies.

Carlos III University is a prestigious institution in Madrid, known for its programs in social and political sciences. The presence of the heir to the Spanish throne at this academic establishment has attracted significant media attention.

OECD exams for 15-year-old students: PISA 2025 report results to be released this Tuesday

The OECD releases this Tuesday the results of the PISA 2025 report, an international exam administered every three years to 15-year-old students in 90 countries, assessing competencies in mathematics, language, and sciences. The educational community and political authorities await the data with anticipation, after the 2022 results — the first after the pandemic — were considered devastating. On that occasion, Spain recorded declines in all three assessed competencies, although less pronounced than in other neighboring countries. With the publication of PISA 2025, it will be possible to determine whether student performance improved, remained stable, or worsened.
