According to platform members, public schools in Sopela are "overflowing," causing significant concern among families. The Iberre Institute's expansion project remains dependent on urban planning procedures and prior administrative phases, leading to calendar delays.
Sopela Zutik has highlighted the increased pressure on public primary and secondary schools in Sopela and Uribe Kosta due to demographic growth in recent years. Consequently, the educational community emphasizes the urgency of activating structural solutions to meet the needs of current and future students.
The platform has been presented as an open, community-based, and non-partisan space, particularly driven by mothers from the municipality. They have organized dissemination materials, communication, and graphic elements to explain their demands in an understandable and accessible manner to all citizens.
Looking ahead, Sopela Zutik will reconvene at the plenary session on June 24th to request updated information on the project's status, timelines, and the factors influencing its execution. They also plan to participate in the town's festivities starting June 25th to increase the visibility of the issue.
“"This is a matter of collective future; we cannot continue to normalize taking so many years to materialize a fundamental educational infrastructure."
The platform calls on the residents of Sopela to participate and not normalize the prolonged delay in realizing an essential educational infrastructure.
