The Câmara de Coimbra is preparing a large-scale investment plan to modernize schools in the region, according to Ana Abrunhosa, the president of the Câmara. The plan, which will involve several dozen million euros, aims to improve the quality of education and create a better learning environment for students. Abrunhosa made the announcement at the inauguration of the requalified Escola Básica 2,3 Eugénio de Castro, which received an investment of 12.6 million euros.
The requalification of the Escola Básica 2,3 Eugénio de Castro, founded in 1972, was made possible through funding from the Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência. The intervention covered the entire school complex, which includes eight blocks, a gym, and outdoor spaces. The modernization of the school has resulted in modern, safe, comfortable, and suitable spaces that meet current educational requirements. This will enable the creation of more stimulating, inclusive, and adaptable learning environments.
According to Abrunhosa, the requalification of the school is not an isolated event, but rather part of a larger effort to prioritize the modernization of the school park in Coimbra. Many schools in the region have not received the necessary investment for decades, and the Câmara is working to address this issue. The requalification of several schools is currently underway, including the escolas básicas da Conchada and Eiras, and the secundária D. Dinis.
The Câmara de Coimbra has already submitted a candidacy for the Escola Secundária Dom Duarte, which is expected to receive an investment of 22.8 million euros. Additionally, the Câmara is awaiting the publication of notices for the Escola Secundária Jaime Cortesão and Escola EB 2,3 Dr.ª Maria Alice Gouveia. The Câmara is also seeking intervention for eight other schools, which have already been authorized by the Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional do Centro.
The investment in education is a priority for the Câmara de Coimbra, and Abrunhosa emphasized that the modernization of schools will have a positive impact on the community. The requalification of schools will not only improve the learning environment but also provide a better space for students to develop their skills. The Câmara is working closely with the Government to ensure that the investment is successful.
The ministro da Educação was present at the inauguration of the requalified Escola Básica 2,3 Eugénio de Castro, highlighting the importance of the investment in education. The Government is committed to supporting the Câmara de Coimbra in its efforts to modernize schools and improve the quality of education. The partnership between the Câmara and the Government is crucial to achieving this goal.
The Câmara de Coimbra's investment plan for school modernization is a significant step towards improving education in the region. With several schools already undergoing requalification, the Câmara is expected to continue its efforts to provide better learning environments for students. The investment is expected to have a positive impact on the community, and the Câmara will continue to work closely with the Government to ensure its success.
