Benidorm City Council appreciated this Wednesday the effort made during this summer by the 77 primary school students from the city who participated in the Summer Educational Support Programme (PAEV) in July and August. All of them received their certificates at an event that took place at the Casa del Fester Diego Cano Enguera and was attended by teachers, parents, the Mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, and the Councillor for Education, Maite Moreno.
The PAEV is a service that the Council offers to Benidorm families during the summer holiday period and is aimed at children between 6 and 12 years old who did not obtain the expected academic results last year. Once again, the program has been held in the classrooms of the Leonor Canalejas public school, where throughout the summer, these children have received classes in different subjects, such as Mathematics, Spanish, Valencian and English, and have worked on study techniques as well as attention games and verbal and mathematical reasoning, to improve their performance for the new academic year.
After a joint congratulation to all the students and their families by one of the teachers in charge of the program, Mayor Toni Pérez took the floor to thank the PAEV educational team for their commitment to “facilitate access to educational resources for those who need it most”, while also highlighting the commitment of the children who, thanks to the PAEV, “will face the next course in better conditions”.
Likewise, the mayor recalled that during July and August “thousands of children from Benidorm have participated in different activities” organized by the City Council to facilitate work and family conciliation and explained to the minors that “one of the most important things is what you have done, studying and learning to be a little better every day”.
Finally, he thanked the families “for their trust in the PAEV”, remembering that some of the participating students “had already been part of this program in previous editions and repeat because they know that it is a positive project and that it works very well”.
Through this program, students from First to Sixth Grade of Primary School have been able to correct the educational deficiencies detected and prepare to achieve the objectives set in the following year. The Councillor for Education, Maite Moreno, recalled that the general price of the programme was 74.67 euros per student, with reduced prices for large families, single-parent families, families with functional diversity, foster families, or families with parents or guardians with a Carné Jove, retirees or pensioners, and it was completely free for large families or special single-parent families, as well as for families with people with functional diversity due to a disability of more than 33%.
Specifically, the City Council awarded 100% of the programme to 22 minors, who represent a third of the participants, with the aim of “facilitating the attendance of the maximum number of schoolchildren with needs and interested in enrolling in the PAEV”, added the mayor.
The activities were held from Monday to Friday, in two daily shifts, depending on the age ranges. Thus, in the first shift, from 9:00 to 11:00, students from the 2nd, 4th and 6th grades of Primary School participated; while from 11:30 to 13:30 it was the turn of students from the 1st, 3rd and 5th grades. During these two hours of daily class, students were able to reinforce subjects and learn how to study and concentration techniques, as well as other games and skills to improve their academic performance.
