The Department of Education has confirmed the maintenance of the four lines of first year of ESO at Institut Mont Perdut for the next academic year. This decision reverses the initial announcement which proposed a reduction in the educational offering at the center.
The resolution arrives after the analysis of the pre-enrollment data provided by the Territorial Services. The regional administration has opted to adjust the planning to the real demand detected in the municipality, thus avoiding the closure of planned groups.
The PSC advances information and the government accuses disloyalty
The official confirmation occurred after the municipal group of the PSC disseminated the news through its own statement. The governing team described this action as institutional disloyalty by breaking the confidentiality agreement made with the educational administration.
"These types of actions cannot happen, because they erode institutional trust and generate confusion in the educational community." - Patricia Reche, deputy mayor and councilor for Education
Patricia Reche announced that she will officially transfer this complaint to the Serveis Territorials. The deputy mayor considers it serious that the information was made public through a political party before the educational centers received direct notification.
The Territorial Services had requested discretion from the City Council until Friday, May 8. On that day, direct communication to the directors of the affected centers was planned, a step that was compromised by the political leak.
New groups in Copèrnic and recovery in Feixes
Beyond the political controversy, school planning includes other structural modifications. The Institut Nicolau Copèrnic will incorporate a new ESO group to absorb the increase in students at that stage.
For its part, Institut Escola Feixes will recover the second I3 line. The center had lost this group during the past school year and is now expanding its capacity for early childhood education again.
These decisions were definitively communicated last week in a remote meeting of the Local Planning Table. In that meeting, the technicians from the Territorial Services explained the criteria that guided the final distribution of lines.
The Municipal Government maintains its position that the offer should be decided once pre-registration is finalized. This position differed from the initial interpretation that circulated among some educational agents before the publication of the definitive data.
The Municipal School Council is convened for Monday the 11th. The session will have as its main objective to address the planning of school routes for the next academic year with all the agents of the educational community present.
