Public healthcare training school · Málaga, Spain

The context

A respected vocational school facing a very real bottleneck

IES Santa Bárbara, a public health-VET school in Málaga, needed to give every student authentic practice without relying solely on clinical placements, which are never guaranteed and never enough.

Why it matters

The classroom now serves students across the school’s health programmes, and the school describes the approach as a replicable model — a blueprint other vocational centres could follow, not a one-off.
