San Salvador - Education

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).
