Furthermore, she announced the launch of the “2025-2028 roadmap”, which aims to broaden the programme’s reach to benefit over 400 educational institutions in Tenerife.

The councillor also acknowledged the dedication, effort, and involvement of all individuals who contributed to making this initiative a reality.
“Their commitment has enabled us to create a distinctive educational offering that not only complements the school curriculum but also addresses the demands of the island of Tenerife,” added Medina.
COMMITMENT TO COORDINATION
‘Cabildo Educa’ represents an internal coordination initiative of the Cabildo of Tenerife, designed to enhance the pedagogical quality of educational projects developed across various governmental sectors through the Technical Board of Education. The outcome is the ‘Cabildo Educa Catalogue’, showcasing over 250 educational projects along with their materials, teaching resources, and information, presented in a systematic and accessible manner.
This initiative serves a dual purpose of coordination and promotion. On one hand, it aims to elevate the methodological and pedagogical quality of the projects executed by the Cabildo through all its areas, and concurrently, it seeks to enhance their communication and outreach.
The ‘roadmap’ delineates priority tasks, including updating the catalogue, optimizing workgroups, and establishing new communication strategies, according to a statement from the Cabildo.
Furthermore, specific actions are proposed to strengthen the quality and reach of educational projects, such as creating a common pedagogical guide, enhancing virtual tools, and organising training sessions.
