Parents protest

Parents of the children at the La Paz school in Bigastro protested yesterday outside the gates.

The school was promised a new classroom and a dining room in 2007. In October 2008 the parents, along with the Councillor for Education, María Dolores Andreu, went to the Department of Education to enquire about the state of play regarding the work. They were told that work would start September 2009 and would take about a year to complete.

Because of the lack of classrooms, numbers in classes have risen to 30. The recommendation for children at this age is for classes of 20 – 25 at the most. Parents are already moving their children to schools in Orihuela and to nearby Hurchillo.
