SCHOOL SITUATION ON AIR
This is a recording of the popular daily TV programme ‘Andalucía Directo’, via YouTube, in yesterday’s edition. (Sep 26th: The comment below tells us off, rightly, because we hadn’t said we got it from TioJimeno, whom we thank for pointing out that it takes a lot of work to get it on there and which they do very well. Our apologies to our colleagues.) It is an interview with the parents of the three children at Jimena schools who have not been going to class for lack of special education assistance. (See lots of previous posts.)
MORE PROBLEMS AT SCHOOLS
The ‘strike’ by parents at the secondary school in Estación, Aljibe, was called off yesterday as the result of a written promise from the education authorities to split the class of 37 second-year (2º ESO) students into two. They went back to school today. However, despite promises and assurances to the contrary from the head of the Council for Education of the Junta de Andalucía, Manuel Brenes, there are still problems with a lack of teachers and/or assistants. The most significantly human of these is that of Martín, who suffers from cerebral palsy and has motor problems that preclude him from moving, eating, holding a book and turning pages on his own.
