The City Council of San Bartolomé de Tirajana has put out to tender the presence of teachers in all primary and secondary schools in the south of the island to provide school support services for minors. If the company that contributes 20 hours per week will have 40 more points. The holding of study techniques workshops and the holding of intercultural conflict resolution workshops weighs on the municipal decision. The contract will be valid for 10 weeks,
The municipal idea is to create a network of centers in which educational support and reinforcement activities are carried out for students in the south of the island. Many families, once their children have reached a certain level of education, face the problem that their parents can no longer help them and have to look for a support teacher. The price of these teachers or academies is very high, which means that many families cannot afford it and inequalities are generated in the educational level of students from the most disadvantaged families.
To generate equality and so that all tirajaneros could be trained, the city council has taken action on the matter. This fact could impact future generations of better-trained southerners with greater job opportunities, which will have an impact on the improvement of the south of the island and its citizens. With these actions, as well as with others of an economic and social nature that have been promoted in recent weeks by the council, the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council wants to contribute to alleviating as far as possible the consequences derived from the state of alarm, derived from Covid-19.
