The results show that the most frequent skills are: first, Oral and written communication in the own language, second, the Ability to solve problems, third, Capacity for critical and self-critical. On the other hand, the skills that are less present are: Learning a foreign language, appearing in only 5% of the subjects, followed by Social competence and global citizenship, which appears in 27% of cases. The skills of the use of Information and communication technologies and the ability to learn autonomously are above 70%; that are considered quite appropriate given the great progress our society has undergone in recent years, particularly in this type of skills.
