The Education department of Adeje City Council, under the management of the socialist officials Adolfo Alonso Ferrera and Coraima Afonso Navarro, has now opened the application period for financial assistance for the purchase of school supplies for the academic year 2024-2025. This scheme targets students in Early Childhood Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education, Intermediate Vocational Training, Basic Vocational Training, and Baccalaureate, who are residents in the municipality. With a budget of 100,000 Euros, these subsidies are intended to help alleviate the financial burden that families face when buying school supplies at the beginning of each academic year,” explained the Councillor for Education, Coraima Afonso Navarro. The grants also cover the acquisition of necessary materials for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which have become essential for education over the years. Among the eligibility criteria for these grants, applicants must have been residents of Adeje for at least one year, hold no academic qualification equal to or higher than the studies for which they are seeking the grant, and have no outstanding justifications or refunds for other grants awarded by the city council.
