14. OIANGUREN SECONDARY SCHOOL
Oianguren Secondary School was built in 1976, 36 years ago. Nowadays 536
students study in our school. There are 62 teachers and 36 classrooms.

15. In secondary education (12-16 year old students), there are 376 students. It is divided in four school
years: DBH1, DBH2, DBH3 and DBH4. In DBH1 (12-13 year old teenagers), there are 107 students. In
DBH2 (13-14 year old teenagers), there are 112 students. In DBH3 (14-15 year old teenagers), there are
89 students. And finally, in DBH4 (15-16 year old teenagers), there are 68 students. These four years are
compulsory for everybody.

16. After finishing secondary education, students can go on with their studies for two
years more in our school: DBHO 1 and DBHO 2. These two school years are not
compulsory. There are 50 students in DBHO 1 (16-17 year old teenagers) and 60
students in DBHO 2 (17-18 year old teenagers). These two school years aim is to
prepare the entry exam for University or for Vocational Training.

17. In our Secondary
School, there is a
Vocational Training
course too, Nursery
studies (kindergarten).
When students finish
DBHO can attend this
Vocational Training in
our school or can apply
for another Vocational
training in a different
school or enter
University after
passing the University
entrance exam. That is
why people who are
over 18 can attend this
Nursery course in our
school.
To get the degree of Nursery studies, students have to do a two- year course and
afterwards training in a specific school for kids like a kindergarten. There are two
courses and 25 students in each course this year.

18. There’s not a gym in our Secondary School. That’s why we use the local sports
facilities nearby.
