The Pájara Council has renewed its partnership with ecca.edu, contributing €15,000 to support educational programmes for adults. These initiatives aim to help those wishing to resume their studies, gain qualifications, or enhance their professional skills.
Lucía Darriba, the councillor for Training and Employment, stated that many individuals who did not complete their education previously now seek the opportunity to do so. She emphasised the need for accessible training tailored to their personal circumstances.
This academic year has seen a notable 30% increase in enrolment in Adult Secondary Education (ESPA), with registrations rising from 20 last year to 26. Initial Education maintains steady attendance with 29 enrolled. Additionally, new classes in Spanish and literacy have been introduced, attracting eight students eager to improve their language skills and enhance their daily lives.
The educational offerings in southern Fuerteventura also include the continuation of the Baccalaureate programme, in which four students from Pájara completed their studies last year.
The educational schedule further includes Open Classroom courses and training related to employability, such as food handling and first aid, providing valuable skills for various career paths.
