Usage Note

Concertado as a general adjective means 'agreed upon' or 'coordinated.' In Spain, it has a very specific administrative meaning: a colegio concertado is a state-subsidised private school, sitting between a fully public (público) and fully private (privado) school. This Spain-specific sense is essential for understanding education discussions in Spanish media.
