During his visit to Torrevieja, Carlos Mazón, the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, announced a significant investment of over nineteen million euros aimed at enhancing educational facilities in the area. This funding will allow for the construction of two new primary education centres, numbered fourteen and fifteen, and the new secondary education institution, IES number six, known as ‘Eras de la Sal’. Currently, these institutions operate in prefabricated classrooms due to a shortage of permanent structures.

Mazón expressed his appreciation for the cooperation between the local and regional administrations, which has facilitated these investments. The local council approved the allocation of three municipal plots to the Generalitat for the establishment of the new educational centres during a government meeting held on the seventeenth of April.

In light of the rapid increase in the student population, which has seen a growth of over fifty per cent from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty-five, this investment responds to urgent needs. Currently, Torrevieja has a student population of sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty-three, significantly impacting the demand for educational resources.

The Education Minister, alongside his team, is expected to visit Torrevieja in the coming weeks to firm up plans related to these educational developments and ensure that local needs are met effectively. This demonstrates the commitment of the Generalitat to enhance education in regions experiencing population growth.
