Worship Peñas Marin, Councilman Green United Left in the municipality of Lorca, has requested this morning at a press conference a series of measures to increase educational quality and to counteract school failure of students in the municipality and presented in a letter the Mayor and the Councillor for Education

As recently known, almost half of Murcia students are repeaters and do the course that corresponds to his age, being the Region of Murcia which has seen the greatest increase in the number of repeaters within the first cycle of Education Primary.

As for secondary education, although their number is decreasing in the whole state, the rate of repeaters in the region in ESO is 12.3% (the third highest in the country) and 14.4% in high school (the fourth worst), exceeding both the national average, Murcia and Rioja spearheading the national classification of repeaters of the ESO with 15.7%.

Therefore, Peñas will ask the City Council increase and promote school programs to reduce these high rates reinforcement and against truancy.

Currently, by the municipality a municipal program against truancy within school hours and outside the Red Cross and Caritas NGOs also carry out the Pro Children program promoted by La Caixa of these features, but develops in view of the data they are clearly insufficient, so you have to devote more resources to these programs and to become active and the Local Committee against Truancy be convened to deal with all these kinds of issues.

Regarding the Municipal School Board, whose last meeting was on 13 July this year, the mayor has demanded the inclusion of local political groups in the council, they are an important factor in the social life of the municipality factor and can provide ideas and solutions to educational problems of the city.

Finally, referring to the 24 schools that begin classes with some of his students in barracks, of which three belong to the town of Lorca in La Hoya, La Campana and Almendricos, although the circumstances that led to it are different in each case, as in La Campana have been waiting for the construction of a new classroom since 2011 that has already been agreed in full, in the case of Almendricos has been agreed between the associations involved while school again child is constructed and La Hoya overcrowding of students in the center.

Peñas understood that these classrooms should only be a temporary solution that does not take more than three months, since these classrooms place students who occupy them in a situation of unfairness from the rest, claiming the City of Lorca, through the Department of Education, which intermedie with the Ministry of Education of the CARM to address urgently the start of construction of the mentioned schools, for students affected regain normalcy as soon as possible.
