# Public schools…

Question 5041 · Task 5 · Spanish society · CCSE 2026

**In Spanish, as in the exam:** Los colegios públicos…

- a) pueden decidir su número de plazas. (can decide their number of places.)
- b) pueden contratar a los profesores que quieran. (can hire the teachers they want.)
- c) son gratuitos. (are free.) · Right answer

**Right answer:** c) son gratuitos.

## Why

Public schools are free and the public administration pays for them. They do not decide their places freely, and their teachers are civil servants who get their jobs through a public exam (oposición), not hired by the school.
