More than 8,000 students return to schools and highschools in Benidorm

11 September 2017
Más de 8.000 alumnos vuelven a las aulas en los colegios e institutos de Benidorm

The 2017/2018 course has started normally from 2nd cycle of Infantil to Bachelor

More than 8,000 students from 2nd cycle of Infant Education to Bachelor have returned to schools and highschools supported by public funds of Benidorm. The start of the course 2017/2018 has started "normally", as reported by various centers to the Department of Education headed by the mayor, Toni Pérez, who this morning has attended the start of classes at Aitana and Vasco Núñez de Balboa, where the City Council has invested this summer about 72,000 euros in adapting several classrooms to welcome the new units for children of 2 years old created by Consellería.

In total, in the 2nd cycle of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, 5,025 students have begun classes; while 2,339 have done so in secondary schools and 792 in high schools. To these are added the 220 children of 2 years of the three municipal schools and 54 children who will go to the units of Vasco Núñez de Balboa, Aitana and Puig Campana.

The mayor stressed that "the infrastructure park, classrooms and units offered in Benidorm are sufficient" to meet the demand, despite the significant numbers of schooling presented by the city, and has indicated that only remains to be solved the works that Conselleria has pending in the school Vasco Núñez de Balboa and in the Highschool of Secondary Education (IES) Pere Mª Orts i Bosch.

"Expected" works that "will arrive", but which are currently in different stages of processing. Thus, in the case of the IES, " Conselleria are valuing the economic offers," while in the "bidding" phase follows the project that will mark how to repair the facilities of the school Vasco Núñez de Balboa.

Regarding possible incidences of teachers, the mayor has advanced that during the week teachers will be incorporated into their places of work in the new classrooms of P2 authorized by the Ministry and that, apparently, "are in the process of appointment." In any case, he clarified that "the templates of the centers are equipped to face any contingency, without the need for substitution."
