The Socialist Councillor M ª Carmen Belchí said in a statement that "the legislature is still grim in education. The serious deficiencies that have to deal with students, teachers and parents in schools and reducing the budget in this area the Municipal Socialist Group considers a priority is putting into question the ability of current management team of the PP government. "
"While parents' associations of the centers are struggling to get any effective response by the Mayor and the Department of Education, the latter are devoted almost exclusively to put hot packs on the major problems that undermine education in Totana" adds.
According to the Socialists, "the school classes have been reduced to a minimum in schools, leaving hundreds of students and parents outside of school activities for 4 to 6 pm."
Socialist councilor recalls that "in all-day projects that schools took place, the City Council AMPAs and further guarantee sufficient attention to the facilities serve the students in particular and citizens in general, more flexible life of families. "
States that "to try to cover this budget reduction, the Department of Social Affairs has adopted as its own the joint initiative of the Ministry and the European Union which starts a family mediation service centers in the municipality. This service can not meet the demand of all families in need, no waiting list and the staff are very scarce. "
The mayor appreciates this measure but says "not enough".
Requires the PP government of "providing the services to be to support the continuous shift in the centers and help families both need and demand."
Claimed from the PSOE totana that "once again demonstrates the government team at the head Martínez Andreo, that his priority is not education, but raising taxes and reducing subsidies, in turn increasing the debt of municipal coffers. In this situation we must add that the inactivity of the Mayor encourages families to have to pay extra classes, especially at critical times we are living. "
The council, therefore, asked to "be restored once and for all with a capital of education in the municipality, the council of education make the necessary efforts to counter the no management of their predecessor and to accept the demands parents expressed through the appropriate channels. "
