FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION
The order of priorities as to the dimensions of education that affect the whole syllabus (those called cross-curricular) is not the same for the family as for the school. Graph 10 shows the aspects which the family and the school grant a "fair" or "lot" of importance, ranked according to their respective assessment.

The table must be interpreted with care, above all as to the aspects that are apparently less valued. What the parents were really asked is what they really do, that is to say, the importance they grant in their action to those aspects and not the importance they should give them. Indeed, parents seem especially concerned about the problem of drugs and their prevention and fairly little as to education for consumption, the latter being a fact that does not cease to be contradictory to a great extent and perhaps thus discouraging. Even less importance seems to be granted by the family to religious education. The parents, on the other hand, consider that schools pay special attention to education for peace and moral and civic education.
The greatest demand among the educational aspects considered in the study arises in municipalities with a greater number of inhabitants, except in the case of religious education, where the demand is inversely proportional to the size of the municipality.
The parents of students at religious schools show a greater concern for religious education, prevention of drug consumption, learning languages and computer science and encouraging work and study habits.
The parent cultural level factor also introduces significant differences. Parents with higher education have a higher appraisal of moral and civic education, education for peace, environmental education, encouragement of study and work habits and learning languages. Parents with only primary education, on the other hand, grant special relevance to education for the labour market, education for consumption and religious education.
