The Santiago Ramón y Cajal center, currently the only public facility of this type in the town, is serving 161 students. This figure significantly exceeds its original capacity, which was designed for 120 pupils, causing growing concern among families and local authorities.
The municipal administration has noted that the constant division of spaces using partitions to accommodate demand has led to a progressive reduction in classroom size. This situation, as reported by those affected, directly impacts the quality of education and the personalized attention required by children with special needs.
In addition to the creation of a new center, the local government has urged for increased investment and human resources in specific classrooms integrated into mainstream schools, such as the Ortiz Echagüe and Santa Margarita schools. The goal is to provide real and sufficient alternatives for families in light of the rise in early diagnoses across the region.
