Cool schools Education work orders to install heating in the school The Palm - Elche Centers withstand temperatures of 4 degrees N. CABALLER / E. MOLTÓ - Valencia / Alicante - 27/01/2011
The cold press and in schools in Elche students study with gloves and raincoat. Elche is the winter in cold and wet and public schools in the city of Alicante support in recent days, temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius. The school The Palm dragged on for eight years and several infrastructure deficiencies, especially lack of a heating system. "This results consistently, year after year, an impoverishment of the educational activity, carried out on a limb and has adverse effects on human health of the entire educational community, denounced yesterday the association of parents of school.
Tired of flu and colds among schoolchildren and the resulting increase in sick leave due to illness among teachers, the AMPA reported the situation to the inspection of the Ministry of Labour on January 18, 2010.
The ministry made the "assessment of temperature and humidity conditions existing at the center" and Santiago Barreneche inspector concluded that there are "levels below the minimum temperature required by the regulations in force."
Ordered work then "cure" the deficiency before October 1 last year. The Ministry of Education ignored the instruction and 1 November, the inspector turned to cite. The answer I got then is that the solution involves the installation of hot water heaters and central gas, which are estimated for the works was 480,000 euros. But thereafter the counseling statement, "resource availability can not run at this point the installation as desirable." Tired of long, Labour has been referred to the body above the same requirement.
Parents wonder to this day: "What is happening in counseling who directs [President Francisco] Camps to allow our children to be cold in school?". The Ampa complains that while the directors of the Government "used Audi 13 vehicles valued at 520,000 euros, all with heating." In addition to reminding "the 11,000 euros a day it costs us to maintain the Palau de les Arts."
The Councillor for Education, Blanca Gonzalez, placed yesterday at 2,700 school children who are enduring these days "temperatures of four degrees Celsius" in the classroom, because education has "three years without fulfilling its promise of providing heating to go to schools" . In addition to The Palm, schools Fernández Cruz, Hispanic, Víctor Pradera, Mediterrani, Gaul, Valverde and Carlos III, lack of heating due to education that promotes Camps Third "topped the socialist mayor.
