The Future of Education Technology in Spain
Spain’s FP Dual reform is creating unprecedented demand for digital infrastructure. Here’s where we see the opportunity.
A System in Transformation
Spain’s vocational training system is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. The implementation of RD 659/2023 is reshaping how workplace learning programs operate, introducing new modalities (FP Dual General and Intensiva), new compliance requirements, and new expectations for coordination between educational institutions and the private sector.
This reform isn’t cosmetic. It fundamentally changes the relationship between schools and companies, creates new administrative workflows, and demands a level of documentation and traceability that paper-based systems simply cannot provide.
The Infrastructure Gap
Despite the reform’s ambition, the digital infrastructure to support it barely exists. Most schools still manage FCT programs with the same tools they used a decade ago: Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, email, and physical filing. The disconnect between what the regulation demands and what the tooling can deliver is growing wider every year.
This gap is not a minor inconvenience. It directly impacts:
- Student outcomes — when administrative friction consumes coordinator time, quality assurance suffers
- Company participation — businesses willing to host interns face bureaucratic overhead that discourages engagement
- Regional oversight — administrations lack real-time visibility into program execution across their territories
Where OEvuy Fits
We believe the opportunity in Spanish edtech isn’t in consumer-facing apps or generic learning management systems. It’s in institutional infrastructure — the boring, essential plumbing that makes the system work.
MiFCT is our first venture in this space, focused on the most immediate pain point: FCT/FFE and FP Dual management. But the broader thesis is that Spain’s entire vocational training ecosystem needs purpose-built digital infrastructure that understands its regulatory complexity, its multi-actor coordination requirements, and its public-institutional context.
What’s Next
As MiFCT matures, we see opportunities to expand into adjacent areas: competency-based evaluation frameworks, employer-education partnerships, regional analytics for policy makers, and cross-border mobility management for European programs.
OEvuy exists to build this category — not one product at a time, but as a holding company that can incubate, invest in, and operate the infrastructure that Spanish education needs.
