Abstract

The heterogeneity in the Spanish educational system has made it essential to develop certain skills to be a model citizenship. One of those is intercultural sensitivity. But before establishing a program to develop it, it is crucial to know its level in the students. Conscious of this social reality a research was done to study the level of intercultural sensitivity in students in the level of Secondary Compulsory Education of two schools in the region of Salamanca (Spain). The sample consisted of 220 people from two different schools, one public and one private. One of the main objectives is to see if there are significant differences in the answers given depending on the variables gender, ownership of the school and nationality (differentiating between native and foreign). On a first review, it was discovered, in general, there were not significant differences on the answers depending on type of school, gender or nationality.
