The Government of the Canary Islands has approved the creation of a new Compulsory Education Center in Vecindario, Santa Lucía de Tirajana
The southeast of Gran Canaria will have a new educational center. This was approved at the Canary Islands Government Council held at the beginning of this week, where it was agreed that the facilities of the CEIP El Cardón, in Vecindario, would be used for the creation of a Compulsory Education Center (CEO).
The new center, still unnamed, will allow the municipality's students to take the first two years of ESO. A measure that, according to regional government technicians, will allow enrollment to ease and reduce the student load in other centers such as the IES José Zerpa, IES Gran Canaria or the CEIP Barranco de Balos.
In turn, the corporation anticipates that this new year the center will already house 13 groups of students between Early Childhood and Primary Education, two from Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and also that it will have a total of 270 jobs between teachers and non-teaching staff (security, janitor, dining room staff...)
The renovation of the old CEIP El Cardón has meant that the facilities now have 12 general classrooms, 4 specific ones, a dining room, teachers' room and administrative area. The name of the new center will be proposed at the first School Council held in this new school year that begins in just a few days.
