Echedey Eugenio: Education is the best tool to build a fairer and happier society

The CC candidate for Mayor of Arrecife, Echedey Eugenio, has presented some of the topics that his party is focusing on in Education for the capital of Lanzarote. "Education provides us with tools to understand the world around us and influence our environment and improve coexistence. It makes us better citizens and helps us participate in building a more democratic society. But most importantly, it gives us freedom of thought. Quality and excellence in education are key elements for building a better individual identity and, therefore, a fairer and happier society. And that is what we want for the residents of Arrecife," says Eugenio

Echedey Eugenio explains that "that is why we are going to sign an annual maintenance contract for educational centers that guarantees healthiness and their perfect condition before the start of each course. The Arrecife City Council will ensure that these spaces meet the basic conditions so that the educational community can train the residents of Arrecife of tomorrow."

"We are also going to facilitate the use of educational facilities during non-school hours to generate spaces for coexistence and support for the education and training of our young people, and to strengthen the Municipal School Council, an body, by the way, that we want to strengthen as a space for participation, the exchange of training and experience and for making the best decisions related to the educational community," says Eugenio.

The CC candidate wants to recover two major projects for the city related to education and quality. "The Arrecife Education Museum is a didactic project that delves into our roots as a people. It involves the reconditioning of some dependencies of the Department of Culture that even preserve the blackboards of the old school that housed them, in order to recreate a classroom of the time. We intend to turn it into a place to visit and an interpretation center, as well as a possible headquarters to house the Municipal School Council," he adds.

Finally, he states that "we are also going to launch the Popular University in Arrecife, a project with a social and service vocation, which aims to promote social participation, education, training and culture to improve the quality of life of people and life in the community. The Popular University of Arrecife will be an engine of internal and external change that will facilitate access to education and culture for all residents of the capital of Lanzarote."
