The new Occupational Classroom of the Santa Lucía Institute of Cartagena has opened its doors for the first time for the nine students and the teaching staff that will occupy it throughout this course.
It is one of the five occupational classrooms in the Region and the only one in Cartagena, which offers its students the specialty of basic office operations, and has launched the Department of Education of the City of Cartagena in collaboration with the General Directorate for Attention to Diversity and Educational Quality of the Ministry of Education of the Autonomous Community.
The classes will be taught in new facilities enabled for this purpose in the institute.
The Department of Education has been involved in the preparation of the painting and masonry work, in addition to providing the teachers of the school absenteeism program and have loaned the nine computer equipment to be used by the students.
In addition, an air conditioning unit with heat pump has been installed in each of the two classrooms, the computer room and the other classes, in which the facilities are divided.
The presentation ceremony for the students was attended by the councilor for education and culture, David Martinez, and the director general of Attention to Diversity and Educational Quality, Esperanza Moreno.
This project is part of the program "Every day without fail", presented last week by the Department of Education.
This is an extraordinary measure of educational compensation directed at students aged 15 years with difficulties to promote in the Secondary Education stage and who present a history of absenteeism and high risk of dropping out of school.
Since the Council has been working for several years with these types of classrooms, which in previous years have been dedicated to gardening, and "its objective is to offer students another motivation to come to the center, with activities other than those normally do in the classroom "has informed the councilman, who has indicated the intention of the City Council is to increase the number of classrooms of this type in the municipality.
"We do not want any student to be left behind, and let's not look at other data on absenteeism data, which although they have been falling in recent years (currently around 1%) we want them to reach zero" manifested Martinez.
The educational program includes 30 hours of class per week, of which 9 will be of office, taught by a specialized teacher, and the rest are divided between the module applied sciences, sociolinguistic and physical activity and sport.
The participating students have been selected by the Department of Education.
The objective of this project is to reduce absenteeism and the risk of early school leaving by providing students with personal, social and professional skills, so as to favor their continuity in the educational system, preferably in a basic vocational training cycle, without excluding their reincorporation to Compulsory Secondary Education;
and their incorporation into active and autonomous socio-labor life.
From the Institute it is planned to request a Training Cycle in office, to offer the alternative to the students to follow their training in this matter.
