Educación invierte 70.000 euros en adecuar las nuevas aulas de P2 en los colegios Vasco Núñez y Aitana

The two units created by Conselleria will start the course in September

The department of Education will invest about 70,000 euros in adapting two classrooms of the schools Vasco Núñez de Balboa and Aitana so that they can welcome the units of nursery of 2 years (P2) created by Conselleria for the course 2017/2018. The mayor, Toni Pérez, who has also assumed the responsibilities of Education, has reported that "the works are starting these days and will be finished in time for the beginning of the school year," which will coincide in September with the classes of the de 2º cicle of Infantile and Primary.

Pérez recalled that it was the City Council with the support of the School Council who requested the creation of these classrooms of P2 in the neighborhood of Foietes, with "the commitment" to adapt them so that "offer the maximum guarantees and the necessary comfort for this group of two-year schoolchildren. "

The adaptation project was drafted by the municipal technicians after visiting the facilities with the heads of the Technical Unit for Territorial Inspection of Education and to compare the needs presented by the two classes, located in the classrooms of Children of each school.

The investment in both centers will be disparate, because the dependencies of the Aitana school are more recent and require less adaptation actions. In fact, the current general nursery school for children of 3, 4 and 5 years was executed during the previous stage of Perez as Councilor of Education, so they are "relatively new" and are "well endowed."

The mayor has detailed that the action in both schools is not going to be limited to the classrooms, but will also reach the recreational space, especially in Vasco Núñez de Balboa where a ramp with fencing will be made, the floor of the playground is going to be rebuilt and the walls will be repainted, and rubber will be placed in the children's play area. Inside the classes, the pavement will be changed, new windows will be made and the bathrooms will be adapted so that the teachers can control and monitor the children.

In total, the investment in Aitana is just over 17,000 euros, while in Vasco Núñez works will be executed for an amount in excess of 51,000 euros.

Two years ago, the City Council adapted a classroom in Puig Campana school for the first P2 unit created by the Town Council in the city.
