San Sebastian City Council, neighbors and families together have asked the government to build a public institute in Aiete
In this neighbourhood of Donostia-San Sebastián, there are more than 3000 people between the ages of 0 and 19. Now, after studying primary school, they are forced to leave the neighbourhood. Once approved by the City Council, the motion will be forwarded to the Basque Parliament and the Basque Government for inclusion in next year's budgets.
The City Council of San Sebastián will request the Basque Government and the Basque Parliament to build a public institute in the Aiete district of Donostia-San Sebastián by means of a motion that will be adopted unanimously in plenary on 30 April and which also has the support of the neighbours and families of Aiete, a neighbourhood in which the population between the ages of zero and 19 is "more than 3,000".
Representatives of the Aiete Institute Bai Group, the Aiete College and the Lantxabe Aiete Neighbourhood Association, Councilors Itziar Iturri of EH Bildu, Arantza Gonzalez of Elkarrekin Donostia and Iñigo Garcia of the PSE-EE, have appeared at a press conference at the City Hall of San Sebastian.
Cristina Pérez, Jon Ander Alonso, Lara Ávila and Félix Pérez of the Aiete Institute Bai have applauded the "political and social consensus"that this initiative has generated. Once approved in plenary, it will be forwarded to the Basque Parliament and the Basque Government for inclusion in next year's budgets.
They have explained that today, students at the Aiete School of Early Childhood and Primary Education "have to go to other neighborhoods "for ESO and Baccalaureate, which causes" dispersion, loss of ties and saturation in schools such as Luberri de la Antigua and Peñaflorida de Amara. "
The Aiete Institute Bai Association believes that an Aiete Institute "would allow educational continuity in the neighbourhood, facilitate family reconciliation and strengthen social cohesion and the use of the Basque language".
Feasibility of the project
In this context, they point out that in this neighborhood of San Sebastián, according to Eustat data, there are 3,000 young people between the agesof zero and 18 "the highest value among the neighborhoods of San Sebastián", to which they add that the 2030 Built Education Plan of the Department of Education envisages an investment of 750 million for investments in educational infrastructure, of which 125 have been invested for the future institute of Astigarraga and the expansion of Peñaflorida. "
Journalists ask how this institute's demand fits into a context where some schools in the city are closing or merging. The group replies that they are "usually concerted and religious," but that there is "interest and demand" in the public school in Aiete, and that many students do not follow "because they do not have a full school itinerary," to which must be added the "saturation" of the Luberri and Peñaflorida institutes. On the other hand, they have indicated that there is "public land" to take over this infrastructure.
