The Regional Ministry of Education has approved the decree for the creation of the new Les Salines Secondary School. According to the decree, the new centre, which has provisionally begun its activity in the Casa de Cultura Jaume Pastor i Fluixà, will have, when the new building is constructed, a capacity for more than 900 students: 600 of ESO, 210 of Baccalaureate and 96 of FP. In addition, it will be equipped with 20 units of Compulsory Secondary Education, 6 of Baccalaureate and 4 of Vocational Training (2 of Basic Vocational Training and 2 of Intermediate Vocational Training).
The new school is called Les Salines, as agreed by the School Council in homage to the natural environment of the town and after a participatory process in which several schools in Calpe submitted name proposals.
On the other hand, the awarding process for the company responsible for the construction of the definitive facilities is underway. This project is expected to become a reality in the shortest possible time, with the aim of offering the educational community adequate and modern facilities.
The creation of the IES Les Salines responds to the need to decongest the current IES Ifach and improve the quality of education in Calpe, ensuring proper attention to the demand for schooling in the different educational stages.
