37 Workers Continue Upgrading Schools Across the Island

The “Cabildo” Employment Plan Keeps Upgrading Schools Throughout Fuerteventura

The Employment Plan “El Cabildo Actúa” is carrying out conditioning and rehabilitation works in educational spaces and facilities across the island. The tasks are being performed by 37 unemployed individuals who are part of this initiative aimed at improving school infrastructure while generating jobs in Fuerteventura.

The project was highlighted by Nuria Cabrera, Counselor for Employment Promotion of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, during a recent visit to CEIP El Tostón, CEIP Lajares, and CEIP Tindaya. She was accompanied by Adargoma Hernández, Counselor for Education, and Omaira Saavedra, councilor for the municipality of La Oliva.

Works Completed at the Visited Schools

• CEIP El Tostón

  • New canopy installed over the garden area.
  • Doors replaced and the butterfly house repaired.
  • Facade repainting.

• CEIP Lajares

  • Pergola repaired.
  • Walls of the sports court restored.

• CEIP Tindaya

  • Exterior walls cleaned and repainted.
  • New sidewalk constructed to prevent waterlogging.

These improvements respond to the requests submitted by schools in all municipalities, thanks to coordinated efforts among the Cabildo’s Employment Promotion and Education departments, local town halls, the Government of the Canary Islands, as well as teachers and school management teams.

The project is financed with over one million euros, co‑funded by the Cabildo of Fuerteventura’s own resources and the Canary Islands Development Fund (FDCAN).

Work is presently underway in six additional centers:

• IES Corralejo
• CEIP Puerto del Rosario
• CEIP Tuineje
• CEIP Gran Tarajal
• CEIP La Lajita
• CEIP Pájara

Further actions are planned for other educational institutions across Fuerteventura.
