This Monday there are classes in the classrooms in the south of Gran Canaria but with doubts: if there is lonesome, are there classes? Everything depends on the parents' decision, although in the case of compulsory classes there is a legal framework that should not be circumvented. It depends on where the classes are located, that is, if it is in height or in a shaded area. The Local Police of Tirajana has instructions to carry out special monitoring to warn in cases of extreme heat in areas like Tunte. Regarding the damage caused to tourism promotion by saying that a destination has sun, no one has made an assessment.

The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports of the Government of the Canary Islands launched the suspension of classes last week for last Wednesday and Friday but the doubt is that the sun does not seem to let up. The Government of the Canary Islands used a gerund saying that it was "working on a protocol for high temperatures" until now "non-existent in the Canary Islands" in conjunction with the area of ​​Security and Emergencies, Public Health and the Ministry of Education itself to know how to act in the event of these prolonged episodes of heat waves.

For his part, the spokesperson for the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Sebastián Franquis, has denounced the "improvisation" of the Canary Islands Government regarding its decision to suspend classes in non-university education centers throughout the archipelago due to high temperatures since "it is taken after "This alert ended last Friday the 6th." "These decisions must be made preventively and with sufficient coordination and planning," added Franquis.
