Eight families who have not got a place in the Hernán Ruiz public school to join the first year of Primary the next year they have denounced this situation that Education justifies by “insufficient places”. In a letter sent to the person in charge of the branch in Córdoba, they criticize the deletion of one of the Primary lines of the center, which “started with three and although the forecast was that it would continue like this, above all, taking into account the social demand of the center, it has been reduced to two” so they understand that that “Insufficiency of school places has been caused directly by the Delegation of Education.”
Parents believe that the administration has acted “in a hasty way because they have not waited for the end of the month enabled for applying for places, in addition to improvised because educational planning should not be changed in the middle of an academic year, and unfair because “it curtails the right of families to free choice of center.” They also believe that the reduction of a line is unjustified “since the demand for places has far exceeded the supply.” This situation has already been denounced before by other centers such as the Al Andalus school, which has criticized the closure of a class despite exceeding the number of applications.
For all this, they request that this measure be reconsidered and the third line of Primary be restored in this public education center. They recall that the CEIP Hernán Ruiz is the school attached to the EEI Cruz de Juárez from which a significant number of families who apply for the place come, an aspect that they consider key “since allows maintaining the link established in Early Childhood Education “. In this sense, they affirm that cutting a line “Penalizes the families of the ISS Cruz de Juárez, since they have to undergo a double schooling process (with their doubts, uncertainties, etc.): first in 3 years and, with situations like this, again in 6 years, when they should have the peace of mind and security of being able to enroll in their children”.
As to free choice of centerThey also question that in this case it is not possible “because of the Delegation itself, which violates this fundamental right of parents.” Finally, they insist that all those affected meet the requirements of the area of influence, affiliation to the center, priority choice or availability of places initially offered. “We are not asking for the creation of an extra line, we are asking for the reinstatement of a randomly deleted line and a priori “.
