The mayor has conveyed the concern within the educational community, noting that organizations like the FAPA Giner de los Rios have long been denouncing a lack of resources, the need for investment, and an educational plan that does not address Alcorcon's real needs. "We are short of high schools," stated Testa, emphasizing that the situation particularly affects the southern part of the city.
Testa explained that while primary schools have space to open new lines, this is not happening, and the problem is exacerbated in secondary education, where there is a shortage of places and new centers. In the Ensanche Sur area, demand has left over 70 students without a place. The mayor pointed to the Education Department of the Community of Madrid for failing to anticipate the municipality's needs and criticized the lack of planning and investment in educational infrastructure.
In addition to the lack of new centers, the condition of existing educational facilities is another point of concern. Alcorcon has public schools over 50 years old that require improvements and maintenance. The mayor has called for investments in both the north and south of the municipality to modernize facilities that serve thousands of students daily.
Another key demand is the air conditioning of classrooms and early childhood centers, especially in light of increasingly frequent heatwaves. The municipal government argues that these actions should be part of a comprehensive plan to improve public centers.
The Alcorcon City Council will continue to demand more resources, investment, and an educational plan from the Community of Madrid that considers the city's growth and real needs, making this situation a new point of contention between the two administrations.
