If you need money, where do you look for it? I would look where there is some, and in Spains case this is not the education budget, where cuts in operating costs for schools and universities are on their way.
When trust funds escape millions and probably thousands of millions of tax in Spain and big companies pay low tax percentages ( Banco Santander pays 634 million on a net profit of 2538 million in the 4th quarter of 2011 according to their website, only 25%) the government should ask these thrusts and companies to come up with the money needed to make sure the educational level in Spain improves instead of getting worse.
This would not only give them a larger workers base of skilled personnel but also boost the local economy because better education means more businesses.
When I hear that entire classes have to fight over a heater because there are only a few of them per school, I am convinced a lot of pupils are even less committed and less stimulated to finish their basic education, thus creating an even larger group of social outcasts or non-adapted citizens to fight this crisis.
Because higher education brings more employment, it is as simple as that! And to do that the money has to come from the big fortunes who are now well protected by Spanish tax laws and escape through the mazes of the net.
