In the Region of Murcia there is a clear mismatch between supply and demand of school places in the fastest growing urban areas.
This has been denounced for Education of the Socialist Group, Jesús López.
For the deputy "is incongruous that the Minister Constantine Sotoca hold the argument of freedom of school choice to justify the rejection of his party (PP) to the covenant of State for Education when here, the problem is that some parents can not choose a public school to study their children. "
In this regard, he alluded to the case of Cotillas towers, which in his view, reflects the problems of schooling that the PSOE has been reporting for years.
The Ministry of Education has rejected the enrollment of more than 50 children from 3 years in that municipality, which aims to divert to charter schools.
Parents of new college (No 6) of the Towers of Cotillas have been holding protests to the Ministry of Education.
At the beginning of the academic year 2008-09, the PSOE and warned of the need to build another school more in the Towers of Cotillas; issue that has stressed every year.
Jesus Lopez added that the Township Cotillas towers have been some extensions and has built a new school (n º 6), but there are still very high ratios.
"Still, the Ministry of Education continues to maintain that in the Towers of Cotillas no new needs," he said.
