The Regional Assembly of Murcia approved a motion on Monday, at the initiative of the Socialist Parliamentary Group, urging the Ministry of Education to build the fourth classroom of the IES "Prado Mayor" for the 2018/2019 academic year, whose budgetary investment could be made effective of a generic item of five million euros collected in the regional budgets for 2018.

This was explained by the mayor of Totana, Andrés García, and the Deputy Speaker of the Socialist Parliamentary Group and Totanero deputy in the Regional Assembly, Alfonso Martínez Baños, during a press conference in the municipal plenary hall, in which both urged to the Ministry to execute said project, written in the year 2011.

The totanero councilor and the socialist parliamentarian asked the Ministry to give priority to this work and not delay it beyond next summer.

The agreement was approved with the votes of the proponent PSOE parliamentary group, Citizens and We can and the abstention of the PP, which submitted an amendment for such action was collected in the regional budgets of 2019, as explained.

Martínez Baños insisted on the need for this infrastructure to be built next summer, "because the situation in which the center is located can not wait for one more course".

This classroom would have a staff of 10 classrooms, laboratories, offices, warehouses and workshops spread over two floors and semi-basement.

The City Council of Totana already approved in October 2017 a motion to demand from the Ministry of Education the execution of the project already prepared and budgeted for the construction of the 4th class of the IES "Prado Mayor" of this town;

and that had already been requested and approved in February 2016.

In addition, the Municipal Corporation agreed to urge, in its day, the Ministry to cover, immediately, the needs of the center in regard to the lack of tables and chairs so that students can receive classes on equal terms. conditions fulfilling the obligations to offer a quality education.

Martinez Baños recalled that the IES "Prado Mayor" was born on the basis of what were the facilities of the former Labor Baccalaureate and later Vocational Training Institute;

and explained that "their dependencies have been growing to meet the educational demand of the municipality in an unplanned way, using old classrooms and workshops that do not meet the conditions for teaching."

Both the socialist parliamentarian and the mayor of Totana also agree on the need to proceed with the demolition of the current electricity workshops.

In this regard, Martinez Baños reiterated that the motion has the dual purpose of building the new classroom with three floors and deamiantar the center.

"They are located on the original premises, have asbestos roofs and do not meet the minimum isolation conditions, although in the summer of 2014 work was done to improve these conditions, but they have not solved the problem," they complain.

Martínez Baños and Andrés García indicated that these workshops were going to be demolished, for which the Ministry of Education hired and drafted a project to build what would be the 4th classroom in the current parking location.

For both, this situation has been progressively aggravated by the lack of space in the center to provide quality education, in addition to the inadequate conditions of this infrastructure.

"It has been 6 years and the execution of this work has not yet been contracted by the Ministry of Education, the problem of the center having been aggravated by the lack of space to provide a quality education, in addition to the serious problem represented by the lack of an isolation in the electricity workshops, with materials that comply with current regulations and does not pose a threat to the health of the educational community.

Finally, Martinez Baños stressed that the approval of the motion "does not mean that it will be built because this is a mandate from the Regional Assembly to the Executive", but insisted that his parliamentary group will be "very much" of the Ministry to expedite the project giving solution to a historical claim of the educational community of the IES "Prado Mayor" and totanera.
