Article doesn't talk about autonomous' languages in curriculum. --83.40.199.227 14:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Major overhaul required
This article requires a major overhaul by someone who knows the current situation in Spain - including variations in the autonomous regions. As it stands, it is repetitive in many aspects and even highly confusing in cases. --Technopat (talk) 21:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Undue weight?
The article singles out the University of Barcelona as "the most notable" university in the country, to the point of being the only Spanish university mentioned by name in the whole article (!). The assertion of its alleged top notability is based on a pair of rankings, which are not without controversy, and completely disregards many other published rankings which place other different Spanish universities at the top (such as the Complutense University, the Technical University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Pompeu Fabra University, or the Carlos III University; in fact, the University of Barcelona happens to top none of these other rankings). The article also fails to mention anywhere the historical relevance and reputation of such venerable institutions as the University of Salamanca (one of the oldest universities in the world). Thus, there is by no means an undisputed consensus that the University of Barcelona is actually the single "most notable" one in the country as the article claims, so as to warrant its exclusive mention over all the others. Therefore, the article seems to give undue weight and publicity to this sole university to the detriment of several other Spanish universities which have outranked the University of Barcelona in several published rankings and which are unduly left out of any mention. 213.37.6.23 (talk) 21:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
