The children's holiday period is approaching and until the parents get the desired vacation, there is a period in which it may be necessary to take the child to a summer school. It is not an ordinary school, it carries out all kinds of activities that aim to educate, teach new things, entertain and entertain children. This possibility is opened by the town hall of each locality so that the parents who work and cannot leave the child with a relative.
There is a problem, The demand for this service is huge and places are scarce (As with schools and kindergartens), in the case of our locality, parents must provide all kinds of documentation, payroll, family book, identity card, etc., of all registered children a selection is made where they are favored the children of those who have fewer resources, immigrants or children with a disease.
Total that of about 600 or 700 registrations, only 40 or 50 children and families will enjoy summer school. It may be that the way in which they make the selection of children is adequate, but the places are very scarce. Why not have more ?, The reason is simple, it is a subsidized activity in which children for about 40 euros a month, get uniforms and outings to different places full of activities (some with charges). That the subsidy is applied to children who need it most is logical, but many parents indicate that they do not mind paying more for their children to enjoy the service, so the excuse for the subsidy is no longer based. The municipalities do not put the appropriate means that allow all children to enjoy this school and there are many obstacles to avoid hiring more staff able to meet all the demand.
It is not something new, every year the same thing happens and the city council does not foresee the situation for next year, that is, they do not allocate any more budget or look for any other solution, they simply forget the issue.
So, you are looking for a private summer school or you are lucky to have a family member who takes care of the child, because until the parents can enjoy the holiday period the child can spend a most boring summer.
Do you have a problem like this in your area?
