Reducing the school failure is a challenge that the Spanish educational system has to deal with everyday. Various causes and variables affect the school failure but not all of them are intrinsic to the student. The detection and evaluation of these causes will provide us with the necessary information to diagnose the problem and to prevent the “future” school failure of the student. Family, academic and personal determinants are some of the variables we have to take into account when interceding in this multidimensional problem. High-performance educational systems in countries of the OECD are those that mix quality and equity. The better the economy was in Spain (housing bubble), the more opportunities this students had to get an easy way out in a non qualified job, however, societies with well qualified people are better prepared for the actual crisis and the future ones.
