The mayor of Mijas, Josele González (PSOE), and the councillor for Education, Mariló Olmedo (Cs), received on Thursday the 3rd a visit to the municipality by the territorial delegate for Educational Development and Vocational Training and University, Research and Innovation in Malaga, Miguel Briones, to hold a meeting in which the educational needs of the town were put on the table. “Mijas is the third largest municipality in the province of Malaga, our population now exceeds 91,000 inhabitants and, in addition, we are a young municipality, with many families with children at an educational age. That is why this type of meeting is essential to continue to make progress on the educational needs of the town, with special emphasis on the urgency for more infrastructure for La Cala, a town that is experiencing unprecedented growth in recent years”, said González, who took the opportunity to learn about the progress of the work on the new school in Las Lagunas and “to value the figure of the tutor agent, which has been awarded numerous national prizes and has become a key player in the fight against absenteeism and bullying. “We wanted to convey in this meeting with the new heads of the Board of Education that from the City Council we continue with our hand outstretched to maintain good communication between administrations for the common good. In recent years we have worked hard and with a great deal of effort and we can now see the results in the infrastructures that are being developed, as well as in the improvements to the educational centres”, said Olmedo, who added that she “hopes that the new team at the delegation will continue the roadmap that had already been established for the municipality and that it will bring a leap in quality in this area”.
