In addition, from the Department of Education subsidizes the transfer of students to the school canteen

The City of Lorquí, betting on an education for equality and for all, continues this 2018-2019 course with the project of introducing the free textbooks in schools in the municipality through the creation of a book bank to disposition of the students.

Thus, from the Department of Education, this year have been allocated 10,000 euros for the purchase of English copies of 5 and 6 of the two schools in the town and Biology and Geology of 1 of ESO and 1 of ESO bilingual.

This measure, through which a total of 40,000 euros have already been allocated in four consecutive courses, will benefit almost 250 students this year.

The objective of this measure is to gradually provide schools with textbooks that will be used by the students of the municipality (for those families that collaborate with the AMPA) and that they become part of a municipal book bank.

"Students will be able to make use of these copies made available to them, which they will return to the center when the course ends, to help families and avoid having to make significant disbursements with the beginning of classes", as highlighted by the Councilor for Education, Amparo Martínez.

He has also indicated that the books are purchased in bookstores in the town to support local commerce.

This initiative is also added to the transport subsidy of Dolores Escámez School students to the school cafeteria located in the Jesús García School.

"Every day a group of more than 20 children is transferred from one center to another in a minibus with all the guarantees of security so that they can make use of this service that facilitates the reconciliation of family and work life", pointed out the mayor.
