“On the one hand it is very good that the Ministry of Education has attended to our demand and the Enclave Classrooms in the CEIP Adeje are increased, but on the other we do not understand why the works have been scheduled so late, so much so that now the children have to go to the school with noise and banging on the walls, with what that means for a student and more for a student with autism”, says Eva Bos, mother of David, one of the children with ASD who has been attending this school for more than five years. old school.
“We have very routine children who start in one place to change to another, young children listening to construction noises and teachers trying to do their work with all that noise,” he says.
The parents point out that the works, being over 15,000 euros and needing a tender, “may be more difficult to execute”, but they do not understand that “it was planned at the last minute, starting the works in the middle of August”, pointing out, Above all, to the Ministry of Education more than to the City Council, as it has the responsibility for maintenance, but not for carrying out works of this magnitude, such as the creation of new classrooms.
They acknowledge that this expansion is welcome, because “there is a great deficit of Enclave classrooms in the area”, something that Pedro Crespo, president of the Anpe Canarias teachers’ union, also acknowledges. “There have been problems with the works, with these classrooms and the others, not only in Adeje, but also in other places in Tenerife,” he said.
The Enclave Classrooms (AE) are schooling units in ordinary educational centers in which an educational response is provided to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), who require adaptations that deviate significantly from the curriculum in most or all subjects. , and that require extraordinary resources that are difficult to generalize.
