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:
“In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Institutions of higher education in the United States are products of Western society in which masculine values like an orientation toward achievement and objectivity are valued over cooperation, connectedness and subjectivity.”
—Yolanda Moses (b. 1946)
“There are words in that letter to his wife, respecting the education of his daughters, which deserve to be framed and hung over every mantelpiece in the land. Compare this earnest wisdom with that of Poor Richard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
