Explanation / Answer
Severo Ochoa was awarded Nobel Prize for his discovery of the mechanisms in the biological synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
He was born in Luarca, Asturias, Spain.
The Spanish education system is divided into four stages, two of which are compulsory:
-Nursery and preschool (educacion infantil) – optional
-Primary (educacion or escuela primaria) – compulsory
-Compulsory secondary education (educacion secundaria obligatoria)
-Upper secondary education (bachillerato) – optional.
Based upon the Ley Orgánica de Educacion or Fundamental Law of Education, education is compulsory for all children and young people who are resident in Spain between the ages of six to 16 years, with primary education (primaria) lasting six years followed by four years of compulsory secondary education (Educacion Secundaria Obligatoria or ESO), at the end of which a Certificate of Education is received. All students receive basic vocational training at secondary level. Education authorities have an obligation to help foreign students integrate and must provide specific programmes to do this. State education is free of charge in Spain from preschool to 18 years, although in some regions parents may be asked to pay for books, other materials and extra-curricular activities.
According to UNESCO, Spain has an adult literacy rate of 98.25%. While the male literacy rate is 98.84%, for females is 97.7%.

There are no women, who won Noble Prize in spain.One of the main reasons for Spain having this huge gap between men and women is the influence of the Catholic church. It will affect society a lot because this is a very religious country. The other main reasons for the sexual difference were Franco and Arab occupation. The dictatorship played a major role in stopping the process of women's emancipation. Before Franco's death women couldn't even have their own band accounts, they always had them under their husband or father's name. Divorce and abortion were illegal.
