This Council is an advisory body which assesses and approves the annual report on the state of education in Spain in order to advise the government. In the last few years, in the same way, there is in the European Union the European Network of Education Councils (EUNEC). It is an organization made of national/regional councils which provides statements concerning the state of affairs in European education policy.
