La Junta de Govern del Consell Insular de Formentera suspèn temporalment el cobrament de les quotes del servei d’escoleta

La Junta de Govern del Consell Insular de Formentera ha acordat suspendre temporalment el cobrament de la quota del servei d’escoleta de quatre hores a les famílies de l'alumnat matriculat en el primer cicle d'educació infantil del curs 2023-2024, amb efecte retroactiu des de l'1 de setembre.

S'ha adoptat aquesta mesura en aplicació del Decret llei de mesures urgents aprovat el mes d'agost pel Govern balear per garantir la gratuïtat de l'educació dels infants matriculats en el primer cicle d'educació infantil en centres de la xarxa pública d'escoles infantils i de la xarxa complementària a partir del mes de setembre.

Amb aquesta mesura es confirma l'inici de la gratuïtat total de l'escolarització dels nens de 0 a 3 anys en aquest curs 2023-2024, tal com es va anunciar a principis del mes d'agost en una reunió amb representants del sector. La gratuïtat serà de l'1 setembre al 30 de juny durant quatre hores diàries d'escolarització, la qual cosa equival a 168 € al mes per infant. Els mesos de juliol i agost es continuarà cobrant com fins avui. Avui dia a les escoletes hi ha 124 infants matriculats per al curs 2023-2024, i encara queden deu vacants disponibles.

S'ha eliminat també la quota de 70 € per a material. La despesa corrent anual de les escoletes és d'aproximadament 1.200.000 euros.

La Junta de Govern del Consell Insular de Formentera ha aprovat, així mateix, la suspensió temporal de l'aplicació de l'article 5 de l'Ordenança fiscal reguladora de la taxa per a la utilització de les instal·lacions i serveis de les escoletes únicament referent al cobrament de la quota del servei a aquestes famílies fins que s'aprovi en el ple de la Corporació una modificació de la mateixa en aquest sentit.

El Consell també ha aprovat iniciar els tràmits des de la Conselleria de Cultura i Educació amb el Govern balear per aprovar i signar el conveni que indica el decret de mesures urgents en l'àmbit educatiu per establir la gratuïtat i finançar la prestació del servei educatiu dels alumnes matriculats en els diferents nivells d'educació infantil.

A més, la Junta de Govern ha acordat iniciar els tràmits per modificar l'Ordenança fiscal del Consell reguladora de la taxa per a la utilització de les instal·lacions i serveis de les escoletes durant el curs 2023-2024.

For more information, please contact educacio@conselldeformentera.cat.

Alejandra Ferrer, vice president and education councillor, explained that "for years the Consell de Formentera has been granting this aid to address inequalities and disparities between students from Formentera and those from elsewhere in the Balearic Islands and Spain". The aid is designed to offset the insularity which Formentera students face in pursuing higher education off the island and help local schools and families in need buy books and materials that are essential for learning.

Insularity compensation for students studying off Formentera
The €38,000 allocated to these grants is divided as follows:

· Grants for students studying on Eivissa and at distance learning universities (€150).
· Aid for students who study outside the Pine Islands (€500).
· Aid for students who study elementary or professional music or dance off the island, provided such studies are not available on Formentera (€100).

€45,000 for participants in the used textbook and educational material and/or digitalisation programme
The aid will be divided as follows:

· Financial aid for Formentera primary and secondary schools in the programmes to reuse textbooks and teaching materials and/or promote digitalisation (€50 for pupils in primary school and €70 for pupils in secondary school).
· Assistance covering 100% of fees for primary school children in large and single-parent families who receive use textbooks.
· Digitalisation programme: €200 toward computer equipment for secondary pupils in large and single-parent families.

€12,500 in higher education grants
Ten grants of €1,250 will be awarded:

· Students' core focus must be an official degree valid throughout Spain. Studies must be performed on-site at schools that are officially recognised by the educational administration and lead to an academically- or professionally-valid official degree.
