The President of the Autonomous Community, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, today made the first stone of the second Institute of Secondary Education Cotillas Towers, which will serve about 500 students, and provide first studies of vocational training in this county.
The center, located in the neighborhood of La Florida, in the residential The Peach, have 12 units for secondary school students and six for Training, plus a gym, offices and other agencies
Thus, as the president said Valcarcel, who was accompanied by the Minister of Education, Training and Employment, Sotoca Constantine, and the mayor of Las Torres de Cotillas, Domingo Coronado, is serving the current and future needs of education at these levels while completing the network of the Region, "with modern facilities and adequate to the demands of new training courses which meet the commitment in the Compact for Education."
He also stressed that with the construction of these new facilities, the municipality that students choose to study vocational training will not have to travel to other neighboring municipalities, as they had to do until this year, distributed in different centers of Alguazas, Molina de Segura and Sewer.
Again, the chief executive said Murcia, it is clear the government's commitment to regional vocational training, not only with the construction of new infrastructure, but with the inclusion of new training courses that offer profiles adapted to the needs of regional firms and new social and economic requirements.
Working with municipalities to develop education policies
The center works have a budget of over four million (4,354,570), and will be financed by the regional government after an agreement with the City of Las Torres de Cotillas, who has given the floor.
The works will last for fourteen months, so that the center will be open for the 2011-2012 academic year.
The new IES will have three floors, divided into two distinct sections, each intended use.
In one classroom will be located in secondary education and another of the various modules of vocational training.
The regional government invested in total over the past year more than two and a half million euros in the upgrading and construction of preschools and primary schools in the municipality.
These investments demonstrate, Valcarcel said, "the collaboration of the regional administration with municipalities to develop educational policies, such as the construction of this center in Las Torres de Cotillas."
