In this sense, Mª Ángeles Tunisia has emphasized that "we are committed to providing a quality education and our goal is for all schools in the municipality to adhere to the bilingualism program."
The mayor of the town has stressed that "schoolchildren will find today their schools improved after the conditioning actions put in place during the summer."
Tunisia has stated that "this year we have increased the investment in works to continue maintaining and improving the facilities of public centers. These actions, with an amount over 40,000 euros, benefit the entire educational community, both students and teachers ".
It is worth mentioning that one of the most important works carried out this summer has been the refurbishment of the courtyard of the school Juan Antonio López Alcaraz, in charge of the Autonomous Community.
