Education
San Salvador has a large number of private high schools, including Protestant and Catholic high schools, as well as secular ones; the city also has numerous private bilingual schools.
El Salvador employs a school classification system administered by the government teaching service (MINED), which scores both private and public schools. A score of A is the highest grade, while a score of C means the school needs improvement.
San Salvador has several higher education institutions, including private universities like Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas and Universidad Tecnológica. The Universidad de El Salvador, well-respected in Central America, is the only public university in the country. Other universities focusing on particular professions include the Escuela de Comunicacion Monica Herrera, Escuela Superior de Economia y Negocios (ESEN), and the Escuela Militar (Military School).

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children. Consider the silent influence which flowers exert, no less upon the ditcher in the meadow than the lady in the bower. When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One of the benefits of a college education is, to show the boy its little avail.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
