SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, September 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Government Council of the Canary Islands has approved in its meeting held this Monday the creation of a Compulsory Education Center (CEO) in Santa Lucía de Tirajana after completing the expansion work of the El Cardón Early Childhood and Primary Education School (CEIP), which will be allocated for this purpose.
This transformation will allow the enrollment of the José Zerpa and Gran Canaria Secondary Education Institutes (IES), located in the same municipality, to be relieved, whose students will be able to progressively pursue their studies in the new center.
In this way, and in order to improve the municipality’s schooling, in the 2023-2024 academic year the new Compulsory Education Center will have two first-year groups of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), which will be made up of male and female students from from the CEIP Barranco de Balos and El Cardón.
The new center resulting from the expansion of the CEIP El Cardón (Vecindario) consists of twelve classrooms, plus four specific ones, as well as an administrative area, dining room, teachers’ room, library and covered sports center.
From the different powers of the Ministry of Education, all the mechanisms have been articulated so that this new course has 13 groups of Early Childhood and Primary Education, 2 groups of Compulsory Secondary Education and 270 jobs for both teaching and non-teaching staff.
The new name of this compulsory education center will be proposed in the first School Council to be held during the 2023-2024 school year, to be subsequently approved by the Ministry.
