The Community of Madrid has equipped a hundred public educational centers with radio technology, boosting the 'Voces del Aula' project with an investment of nearly 100,000 euros to promote communication and digital skills.

This provision, part of the 'Voces del Aula' initiative, aims to strengthen students' communication and technological competencies. According to sources from the Ministry of Digitalization, 73 Early Childhood, Primary, and Special Education centers have received complete equipment, including a digital mixing console, headphones, dynamic microphones, stands, cabling, and speakers, facilitating the setup and launch of their own radio stations.
Additionally, 27 Secondary and Vocational Training institutes have also benefited from similar devices. In these cases, the mixing console is analog and is complemented by distributors and amplifiers, adapting to the specific needs of these educational stages.

"From the regional Government, we want to continue promoting its use in the educational field as a curricular development tool with Madrid students and also as a motivating element for the acquisition of communication, technological, social skills and teamwork competencies, as well as for the improvement of their self-esteem and for the stimulation of early vocations."

Currently, the 'Voces del Aula' program already involves a total of 221 educational centers across the region.
