Arico does not have the early reception and permanence service in any of its four schools. A fact criticized by the Canary Coalition (CC) that the municipal government (PSOE-PP) announces that it will be active from the day after its award until June 21, 2024. To do this, The Contracting Board met today to formulate its proposal within the framework of the competition open on September 18, with a budget of 62,911 euros, which will benefit 90 Early Childhood and Primary Education students, will have nine monitors and will have a coordinator.
The ConciliArico service increases the number of beneficiaries and staff this year, despite The municipal government assures that its predecessors did not leave any provision or budget for summer activities or for this service.. “In previous years, it was provided precariously because it was interrupted several times throughout the course, due to the lack of planning and the inadequate management of the contract carried out by the current spokesperson for CC,” says the Councilor for Education. , Agustín Tejera.
Olivia Delgado points out that the families that will have early reception and permanence “of quality because for this government, families and children are a priority.”
The mayor, Olivia Delgado, highlights that, despite coinciding with the staff’s vacation period, the City Council launched the summer camp and guarantees families that they will have early reception and “quality permanence because for this government, families and “Boys and girls are a priority.”
Víctor García (CC) attributes the delay to a “lack of planning by the municipal government”
Víctor García, spokesperson for CC, maintains that this is the biggest delay suffered by the service and is due to “lack of management by the current local government.”». A delay that “causes many fathers and mothers to have had to pay out of pocket and hire an external service to make up for what is generated by the zero provision.” And he sentences: “The mayor’s lack of planning gives us to understand that this resource is not a priority for the current City Council.”
Olivia Delgado and Víctor García agree that this is a public service that allows “to make compatible and reconcile the work and family life of fathers, mothers and/or guardians.”
Last year, early reception and permanence were activated from October to December (not with the start of the school year) “with a minor contract.” In this year, the City Council received the contribution from the Canary Islands Government (20,318 euros) on August 30, at which time the administrative process begins to proceed to tender the service. The day before yesterday the Contracting Board met, which required documentation from some of the companies that participated in the contest. Once the requirement was corrected by the bidders, the same body made its proposal yesterday.
It is expected that the procedure will be completed shortly and the 90 beneficiary students will now have early reception and permanence.
