Emilio Navarro, mayor of Santiago del Teide points out that “we are aware of how far we are from the main educational centers on the island and, above all, of the joint effort that both families and students make daily to be able to study outside the municipality. . For this reason, we are clearly committed to the training and education of our students with the improvement year after year of the budgetary items for this purpose and that with them we reach more students.”
