Local and state authorities recently came together for the inauguration of four new schools recently completed in different areas of Puerto Vallarta. A High School operated by satellite in El Ranchito, the Technical Secondary School #119 in Ixtapa, a Kindergarten and an Elementary School in Volcanes are the four new educational institutions built in the area.
The Secretary of Education in the State of Jalisco, Miguel Ángel Martínez Espinoza explained that the only reason these four very important projects had not been finished before is because of the lack of legal secure properties to build on.
Javier Bravo, Mayor of Puerto Vallarta, manifested that the city Hall solved all the legal problems in order to show the city’s unconditional support to programs as important as these.
El Ranchito: After almost nine years of waiting, local students in the El Ranchito area can congregate in brand new classrooms in order to finish their so very much desired education. The total investment for this development was of about $550 million pesos. With this investment, six new classrooms, a multimedia room and a classroom dedicated for multiple purposes were built, covering the demand of 110 students that will be getting their education from six different teachers.
Ixtapa: With an investment of over five million pesos, the students of Ixtapa will be taking classes in three new classrooms, and will have within the premises access to a new multi functional lab and a computer room. This is only the first part of the project and the building of the second part will begin soon.
Volcanes: During the first stage of the Kindergarten project, two new classrooms were built to provide with sheltered education for 84 infants, having as teachers, three professionals of education. The investment for this first part of the project was $2.5 million pesos. Three thousand square meters measures the area the Kindergarten is being built, and 3600 mt2 is the size of the lot where the new Urban School #1170 is still under construction.
