The Mayor of Mijas hopes to continue working with the Junta de Andalucía to respond to the educational needs that the municipality continues to demand. "We cannot forget that we have a huge problem in the area of La Cala de Mijas, with a critical school situation where we urgently need a new school or at least the extension of its institutes; I know that the delegate is aware of this and has welcomed these needs," said González.
The Junta de Andalucía has assured that work on these projects will begin in a year or a year and a half.
