It appeared last Monday at a press conference the spokesman for the Local Executive and Secretary of Education and Councilwoman Olivares Fuensanta responsible for monitoring educational issues Cande Fernandez, both made an assessment of the start of the new school year.

Fuensanta Olivares, began by recalling that last May the Ministry of Education decided to eliminate the aid of 100 € the "Bonus Book" and was a key support to families of elementary and secondary schools to meet the costs of purchasing school supplies.

In lieu of this aid, dated June 4, were published the basis for grants recipients being students, whose income in the household in 2009, did not exceed a few scales published in the order itself of the grant call .

Continues to manifest "on Friday September 16, were published in the bulletin boards of schools, the display list of students who had applied for grants, who have been granted and those who have been denied. I put the example of the center where I work, that of 144 requests were granted only 31, which can give us an idea that will be very little fortunate when we have definitive data on these grants will be transferred to citizens to be aware of cuts being made in education. "

The Executive Spokesperson continued "Another thing I want to comment, is to remember that two years ago the Ministry of Education launched the" School Program 2.0 "Its corporate objective is to digitize the classroom, with an investment which the Ministry was in charge of 50% and the Ministry the other 50%, at that time, the Regional Government refused Valcárcel get it going, with the surprise that was invented last few months of the Community called "Classroom 21 ", this was a pilot project where the scanning was awarded 20 infant and primary classrooms and 20 in high school and then to be expanded. After two years and this year we started, this pilot project developed by them they abandon him, and now at the moment, understand that they must join the program of the Ministry, of which we are already two years late. "

Take the word Councilwoman Cande Fernandez, who explains the contents of a motion filed by the PP government team, which requested the construction of a "nursery school" from 0 to 3 years for the municipality and the construction of which is subsidized 100% by the Ministry of Education.

Notes, "draws our attention to the convention who signs the region with the Ministry, either for the same amount as in previous years almost € 4,000,000, having been built in the past eight primary schools, and this year remain the same money, will build four, gives us think that the Community does not have enough money to put

part that touches it is for the expenditure of equipment and facilities with the money of the other four do not want to cover it intends to build. "

On the other hand, the Socialist councilor, said "we welcome and look forward to in 2011 Jumilla exists for the Autonomous Community, and decide you have to build a new center, but we also want to stress that we fully agree as long as we ensure that the construction of it, does not harm others. We hope and wish, that does not close the CAI as has happened in other municipalities once built nursery school. "

From the PSOE going to ask you to do a study and report seriously, to see what the real demand for these positions, and that the two centers can be maintained, because the real situation now is that our CAI so much effort and money has cost all Jumillano, is equipped for 75 people and these are covered only 30 ".

Cande Fernandez, launched a proposal to the government team, which is to convert the CAI in kindergarten, according to the Councillor is also possible without losing the subsidy from the Ministry.

He urged the government team to study it seriously.

He ended by saying "not to build because it comes free, but do it reasonably and when there is real need, and also with the addition that this can harm other businesses in our town who are dedicated to this."
