Resultados competenciales en la Educación Secundaria en la España rural. Un análisis con perspectiva de género
Abstract
In recent decades, Spain has experienced a drastic population decline in rural areas due to migratory flows towards cities, which is more pronounced among women. The provision of essential services, such as education, is crucial to combat depopulation and improve the social and territorial cohesion of rural areas. Although equal opportunities for access to quality education are supported by both national and international legislation, the reality shows some educational indicators with lower ratings in rural areas. This study focuses on analysing the differences in PISA competencies between rural and urban areas in Spain, considering different degrees of rurality and incorporating a gender perspective. The main conclusions reveal gender differences in favour of women in linguistic competence in all geographical categories. For mathematical and scientific competencies, men tend to achieve better results, except for areas with the highest degree of rurality, the villages. Other moderating factors of the results complement the analysis.
