The facilities are located in a basement, which does not meet the minimum quality standards required, affecting the health and safety of workers and users.
The Cabildo of Fuerteventura denounces the deplorable situation of the facilities of the Insular Office of Education and Educational Inspection, which have been located for seven months in facilities that do not meet minimum quality standards.
A situation that, according to the insular counselor of Education, Adargoma Hernández, is suffering, for a long time, not only the workers of the service, not having decent and safe working conditions, but also the users who every day go to these offices, located in Sevilla street in Puerto del Rosario.
Adargoma Hernández emphasizes that, “we have already brought it to the attention of the Ministry of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands on several occasions, as well as in the last School Council of the Canary Islands held recently, the body of participation of the sectors most directly related to the education sector in the autonomous community”.
In addition, the president Lola Garcia has requested in writing, last June 4, an urgent meeting to address the problems related to education on the island, without receiving any response.
For this reason, “we will again request an urgent meeting to discuss, among other issues, a serious matter that affects the quality of care provided in Fuerteventura and the occupational health of the workers, who work in a basement without ventilation, affected by humidity and without any measures to promote accessibility or privacy in space. In addition, we need to be informed about the state of other budgeted infrastructures and the state of execution of the Infrastructure Plan, among other issues”.
A situation that, according to Hernandez alert, is more serious in summer, in which high temperatures are reached and in which these offices receive large influx of users and users of the educational community, “while, on the contrary, the island director of Education is in other facilities miles away from what they live there every day employees and users. Something that we will not allow from the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, so we will continue to demand an urgent solution to an unsustainable situation”.
