This week has begun to operate the Platform of parents for the inclusion of the Region of Murcia, formed by parents of children with special educational needs, who are suffering from severe hardening of criteria that has been produced by the Ministry of Education so that these students can access scholarships for educational and extracurricular support.
In this situation there are also Yecla families.
This platform has been constituted because these criteria suppose, in practice, a cut of the aids.
It is necessary to point out that these aids granted by the central administration and managed by the autonomous community, are intended to cover the educational needs of these students that are not fully addressed within the school.
In this situation a group of parents has decided to organize to fight for these scholarships that are a basic need for their children.
From the Municipal Group of United Left-Greens we want to show our full support to these parents, mothers and students who, faced with the indifference of the regional government, but also of the municipality of Yecla, have been forced to organize to fight for these scholarships.
Also, from the Group M. of IU-Green we demand the immediate resolution of the requests of these families, who can not wait a minute more, given that the course is already underway.
But there is still more.
Despite the dates we are in, the Social Interaction and Social Skills Program, a competence program of the City of Yecla, has not yet been implemented in Yecla and allows these children and adolescents with different abilities to improve their skills. social relationships.
We are already in October, but the Popular Party government team does not see any desire to want to provide support and help to this group of people, who are precisely those who need it most.
In our opinion this is a very worrying situation, especially considering that the PP is trying to reduce the budget of this program, something that would eventually lead to its elimination.
