Spanish term or phrase: convocatoria de conciertos educativos
This is a government document regarding vocational training in the Pais Vasco.

I can't understand if this is talking about examinations or music ?#¿$%. I think I have a mental block going on.

Planifica, igualmente, la oferta de los centros privados en relación con las convocatorias de conciertos educativos e informa las autorizaciones de los centros privados de formación profesional.

agree  Victoria Porter-Burns: This is how I read it, too. Maybe even 'organisation of..'?

Call for Educational Agreements


Explanation:
I guess it does not have to do with events. I would say that "Concierto", in this context, has to do with agreements, established between the administration and the education centre. This is the case of the Spanish "centros concertados" which are something in between a public and a private centre - part of the money comes form the administration but still you need to pay a fee. I guess there must be a better word than Agreements but I suppose that is the meaning of concierto in the text.

announcement of educational grants


Explanation:
I am finding references for "conciertos educativos"used as educational grants, and it certainly would fit the bill!

FERE-CECA Information
... studies the latest known text of the regulations for school grantsin order to ... to endorse or not the educational grants (conciertos educativos). ...

From the context of the page below it seems that "conciertos educativos" are referring to grants:

Si bien los presupuestos de las Universidades no contienen todo el gasto público destinado a este nivel educativo, ya que la Administración Central y las Administraciones Territoriales llevan a cabo también directamente inversiones que benefician a las mismas y los programas de becas, a excepción de la compensación de tasas, tiene como destinatarios inmediatos a los estudiantes beneficiados por las distintas convocatorias, dichos presupuestos y su desagregación ofrecen información relevante sobre la financiación pública del nivel universitario.

Please see this page. If the "conciertos educativos" regime is regulating the sustenance of private institutions with public funds, then I say your source is also talking about grants!:

CONCIERTOS EDUCATIVOS

Mediante el Régimen de Conciertos Educativos se regula el sostenimiento con fondos públicos de los centros privados para la impartición de enseñanzas no universitarias regladas, en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco.

agree  teju: www.fere.es/INFORMACION_Ingles.htm - You beat me to the punch. This link has an excellent summary of the law with regards to these type of grants. By the way, they also call them educational agreements. Saludos :)
