Councilman United Left-Greens in Torre Pacheco, Francisco Ramon Martinez, described today's "cockiness" disapproval by the Popular Party, a majority in the council, to one of their motions defending the right to education of children in the municipality.
Martinez reported that ten children of kindergarten and a primary school are not in school or can not attend class at school, "Dawn," about two miles from the center of the village of Roldan, because their parents lack of vehicle and the center can only be accessed by a road.
Therefore requested the establishment of a line of school buses in a move that failed to consider the CP had not told the truth and that "no child of compulsory school age to school grounds lack of transportation, and other children have been enrolled. "
In this sense, the mayor of IU-Green has clarified that these children, despite not meeting mandatory school age, are entitled to education and public authorities are obliged to provide access.
He noted that according to the letter of disapproval of the PP's own school address and expressed his concern about this situation to the Councillor for Health Services, who led the project information truancy.
Furthermore, according to Martinez, the government team in this report recognizes that "there is danger to the children" if they move to walk to the center "as there is good access between the city and the school."
The report also recommends counseling to encourage the establishment of a school transport service that facilitates the prevention of absenteeism. "
Therefore, Martinez believes that a warning to his motion "makes no sense" because "the PP recognizes that accessibility is a problem that requires the creation of a transmission line for children to attend school", which is the same as requested by Councilman IU-Green in his motion.
