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:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... the physical and domestic education of daughters should occupy the principal attention of mothers, in childhood: and the stimulation of the intellect should be very much reduced.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
