The Provincial Director of the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports (MEFPyD) of Melilla, Elena Fernández Treviño, has highlighted the improvement that Education has experienced in our city since the arrival of Pedro Sánchez to the Government of the Nation, with the increase of teaching professionals and the construction of new educational centers, among other measures adopted.
“This government’s commitment to education has been very clear, with the construction and implementation of infrastructures in the city such as the old Central Market, the Virgen de la Victoria Institute, or the CEIP Encarna León or the increase in the teaching quota, which has meant an increase of 300 teachers in the city,” he said in an interview given to Melilla Television.
In addition, he referred to the implementation of Vocational Training “which has been increasingly strengthened and which will allow accreditation and professional experience” which, he said, has an impact on improving the possibilities of these students and improving employability in the city.
He has also addressed the commitment to diversity that has implied the creation of an educational law such as the LOMLOE, “which is the most coeducational law, which bets more on diversity and which is closer to the reality of educational centers than we have had in history.”
Especially when, in our city, we have “a diverse student body, with diverse origins, diverse languages, diversity of creeds, something that I think is wonderful, and I believe that education is a tool to provide opportunities to those students and, therefore, I face this new challenge with real enthusiasm”, he acknowledged.
Attention to diversity
In fact, in relation to this issue, Fernández Treviño referred to the PROA+ program, which has just begun, and which precisely attends “to all that diversity, enhances capacities and leverage competences, so that the centers work, so that no one remains outside the educational system”. “These are programs that basically work competencies for reinforcements and that, in addition, involve the hiring, in many educational centers, of teachers,” he said and has highlighted the twenty or so teachers who have been hired on the occasion of this program.
At this point, the new Provincial Director of the MEFPyD wanted to highlight the good work and the daily work that are being done by the management teams and the teaching professionals of the schools of the city of which she has stressed that they carry out “a very good job”, and has advanced that she plans to hold, soon, meetings with them to know first-hand “the reality of the schools and their management teams”.
Fernández Treviño, in that active listening that he is going to carry out and always with the aim of advancing and improving the Education of Melilla, has also made it clear that he will maintain a policy of “open dispatch, closeness and listening” with the trade union organizations and with the associations of fathers and mothers. “We will maintain a line of work to attend to and listen to everything they ask of us and to work with them in constant collaboration,” he stressed.
