Densenyament

Densenyament is not a standard term in Catalan-language educational discourse and does not appear as a recognized field or policy category. It is most likely a misspelling or misunderstanding of the word ensenyament, which in Catalan means education or teaching.

Ensenyament refers to the system and practice of educating people, including the planning, delivery, and assessment of instruction. It encompasses formal education delivered in schools and higher education institutions, as well as non-formal and informal learning. Core components include curricula and pedagogy, teacher qualifications, assessment and evaluation, and the governance and funding that support educational institutions.

The structure of ensenyament typically covers multiple levels and modalities. Levels include early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, post-secondary or vocational training, higher education, and continuing or adult education. Modalities include formal education in schools, non-formal education such as community programs, and informal learning that occurs outside formal settings. Quality assurance and accountability are maintained through curriculum standards, teacher professional development, school inspections, accreditation, and performance metrics.

Governance varies by jurisdiction but generally involves a combination of national or regional authorities and local authorities. In Catalan-speaking regions, the education system is overseen by the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya, with alignment to national education laws and policies. Language-in-education policies often emphasize the use of Catalan and Spanish, along with other languages, within a multilingual framework. Public and private institutions participate in delivering ensenyament, with ongoing reforms aimed at inclusivity, digitalization, and lifelong learning.
