Top marks for 10 Alicante schools TEN schools in Alicante Province have been highlighted as amongst the best in the Valencia Region. The schools, a mixture of public and private centres, have been recognised based on the results of the latest examinations carried out by all students in the fourth year of primary school education. More than 99,000 youngsters took part in the exams in May and whilst the results will not be made public, any parent can
request the the test results when choosing a school for
their child. However, some teachers said they were not
a true reflection of a school’s progress with those which admit a higher number of pupils with learning disabilities not taken into account in the results. Top school in Alicante Province was the Medico Pedro Herrero followed by Sagrados Corazones, both private establishments in the centre of Alicante City. Madre de Dios de la Salud in Onil was the best rated public school in the province.
Funding boost for Paramount Park FUNDING for the Paramount Theme Park in
Murcia is to come from the Spanish Government and
not from Brussels. The Government has awarded a subsidy of €16.2 million to Premursa, the company constructing the park in Alhama de Murcia. Initially it was thought that funds would be provided from the European Regional Development Fund but Brussels was used to simply approve the loan
and to ensure it did not infringe any EU rules. Although EU funding is not being used for the subsidy, the Government confirms that further applications can still be made. The subsidy amounts to around 8 per cent of the total cost with Premursa now suggesting an opening date of Spring 2016.
