LUDUS SANCTIUS SL CENTRE D'ESTUDIS JOAN MARAGALL

Joan Maragall Secondary School was founded in 1974. It is located in the Badalona's Progres quarter. This neighborhood is born and grows as a result of the industrialization of the city, in the second half of the nineteenth century and is undergoing a thorough renovation, as a direct result of the change in economic orientation of the city.

The students of our center is varied and comes from all quarters of Badalona and the nearby towns, because some of the training specialties we offer are not given to any other school in the city.

Students arriving have some shortcomings in its student profile, mainly because:

• They have completed high school required irregularly.
• They have studied high school without positive results.
• From 4 years ago, many elderly people have been enrolled in the study. These people come from work, but they do not have much time to devote to studies.

This involves:

• Lack of study habits and techniques.
• Difficulties in understanding and the ability to make inferences and relationships.
• Cultural environment scarce. The families do not foster the cultural environment.
• Poverty of language and vocabulary and spelling mistakes.
• Lack of relevant values.

Evaluation Board proposes to improve student performance through an interdisciplinary proposal approved by teachers and school council. We will work together to achieve the general objectives and individually objectives for each teacher to his subject.

The main goals of our school are:

• To train people for their integration and active participation in society.
• Target students in their professional path.
• To train people who develop their work according to their interests and aptitudes.
• Aroused the interest of students in career and look to continue his education in other European countries.

For all this, the school has established a quality system based on ISO-9001 with the aim of establishing the general guidelines of the system of quality management, describing how the system is referenced, providing ongoing consultation service to all staff to assist in the implementation, maintenance and improvement.
