LET’S DEFEND OUR SCHOOLS – OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER!
Enough is enough! Parents, residents and community groups across Orihuela Costa are being urged to unite this Saturday and demand urgent action over the deteriorating conditions in our local schools. Overcrowded classrooms, inadequate heating, poor maintenance and facilities that fall well below acceptable standards have become an all-too-familiar reality for pupils and teachers across Orihuela…
Parents, residents and community groups in Orihuela Costa are rallying together on Saturday to demand immediate action on the poor state of local schools. Issues such as overcrowded classrooms, poor heating, inadequate maintenance and facilities that fall below acceptable standards have become a common issue for students and teachers in the region.
These concerns have been raised once again as families feel that the necessary improvements have been delayed for far too long. It's important to note that this isn't the first time families have had to raise their voices on issues that should have been addressed earlier. Over the past two decades, parents and residents have fought relentlessly to secure permanent buildings for IES Playa Flamenca and Playas de Orihuela schools, only to face years of frustration and delays.
This struggle should have been unnecessary, and we must not let history repeat itself. Orihuela Costa is a large, established and growing community, and its families contribute to the municipality. They have every right to expect their children to receive the same level of education and facilities as pupils in other areas. Schools should not be considered a low priority, and children shouldn't have to settle for subpar facilities.
We require urgent investment, proper maintenance, sufficient heating, adequate classroom space and a clear commitment from authorities to address the needs of our expanding school population. It's time for promises to be turned into practical solutions, firm commitments and visible action. Parents, grandparents, teachers, residents and anyone who is concerned about the future of our community are invited to join the protest this Saturday.
The meeting will take place at the entrance to the Saturday Market in Playa Flamenca, Orihuela Costa, at 12 noon. Bringing your family and friends will help make your voice heard. Our children may not have the right to vote, but we can stand up for them. LET'S DEFEND OUR SCHOOLS. LET'S DEFEND OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. ENOUGH NEGLECT. IT'S TIME FOR ACTION!
