SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan. 16 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Government of the Canary Islands has already completed the first phase of the comprehensive rehabilitation of the student residence of the Tacoronte Agricultural Training School, which is managed by the regional department through the General Directorate of Agriculture.
This is a project valued at around 400,000 euros whose intervention has consisted of the complete reform of the rooms and bathrooms in the west module of the residence, as well as the construction of their own bathrooms in each of the rooms, which allows spaces for more comfortable work, reducing the number of students per room to two.
This restoration involves the renovation of 24 out of the 44 existing parking spaces, to which must be added those corresponding to the second phase of the work, which provides for the renovation of 20 more parking spaces.
The Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the regional Executive, Alicia Vanoostende, and the General Director of Agriculture, Augusto Hernández, together with the director of the center, Ángel Ruiz, and the Head of Residence, Antonio Ramírez, visited this Monday morning the Agricultural Training School of Tacoronte (Tenerife) to verify the progress made in a flagship facility that is more than 50 years old.
Vanoostende highlighted that “not only the common facilities have been improved, but also the school residence that makes it easier for young people from remote municipalities or non-capital islands to have a greater opportunity to train in this school, improving and modernizing the rooms and offering them all the services what do you need”.
Along these lines, he highlighted the importance of training “as a fundamental pillar to guarantee the future of the primary sector and, for this reason, we have invested more than 3.5 million euros since the beginning of the legislature in improving training centers; there are about 700 students that we have every year in the different professional training modules”.
“The School required a comprehensive update, among other things, because it is a facility from the 60s that has to adapt to new circumstances,” concluded Vanoostende.
