Valencian Authorities Shut CEIP Cervantes in Sueca After Ceiling Collapse

An emergency declaration enables urgent repairs at the century-old school.

Overview

  • Education officials, the Sueca council and the school community agreed to fully close the building and temporarily reallocate about 240 pupils.
  • Classes are suspended on Monday to move materials into provisional learning spaces identified with the municipality.
  • Municipal technical reports declared the facility not apt for use, citing an inability to guarantee safety for students and staff.
  • The regional department has initiated emergency works to replace false ceilings and repair the roof and drainage, while preparing a project for a full roof overhaul.
  • The town had already moved upper-floor classes to the municipal ludoteca and is pressing for prefabricated classrooms, as families continue protests and opposition politicians question delays in funding.
