Abstract

The central problem faced is the existence of a continuity between the curriculum of secondary education and the level of requirements of the higher education. In order to study this issue, it is presented a study which involved the analysis of the Curriculum Framework of High School (2005) and a questionnaire made to students in their first year of university. Results showed that there is a curricular continuity between the two educational levels, although there are some dimensions (such as learning skills and their subcategories) having a partial rupture. The conclusion suggests a need of connecting both kind of curricula in order to avoid fail a course and leave early the university.
