Classes Resume for Sueca’s Cervantes Students at Temporary Sites After Safety Closure

Emergency repairs will start this week, with a full roof overhaul project already in preparation.

Overview

  • The town closed the century-old CEIP Cervantes after a false ceiling collapsed during heavy rain and municipal inspectors deemed the building unfit for teaching.
  • All 240 pupils returned to lessons on Tuesday, split between the municipal ludoteca and the Miquel Rosanes Adult Education Centre.
  • Infantil through third year of primary are housed in the ludoteca, while fourth to sixth years attend classes at the adult education facility.
  • The regional education department will replace false ceilings, patch sections of the roof, and recondition gutters in the coming days as the infrastructure office drafts a comprehensive roof replacement.
  • The mayor reports the director general is finalizing an emergency proposal; the city has set up the school gym as a temporary dining room and a nearby plaza as a playground, while families continue protests and push for a single-site solution or prefabricated classrooms if required.
