This action is part of the High Temperature Adaptation Plan, an initiative by the Canary Islands Government designed to optimize the conditions of educational facilities, especially against extreme heat episodes and high solar radiation.
According to the Department, these investments address a growing need in the archipelago's educational centers, which require protected spaces to maintain educational and sports activities in a safer and more comfortable environment. The roofing of CEIP Pájara joins other similar interventions planned in Fuerteventura and the rest of the islands, as part of a broader plan to improve school infrastructures with more sustainable and secure environments.
“"These investments represent a significant boost for schools, whose playgrounds and courts are key spaces in the daily life of educational communities."
The High Temperature Adaptation Plan has a budget of over thirty million euros since 2024 and covers eight lines of action, ranging from the analysis of environmental conditions and the creation of friendly spaces to the implementation of cooling systems, renewable energies, and climate change training.
Concurrently, the Pájara City Council has carried out repairs at the same educational center to address leaks detected in the roofs. The works, which began on April 22, include waterproofing, repair of deteriorated elements, and removal of loose materials.
“"The action allows us to respond to a real need of the center and families."
The Council emphasized that the objective of these repairs is to correct existing pathologies and prevent greater damage, especially as they affect spaces used for teaching and pose a risk of detachment. The municipal intervention was processed as a priority after a technical assessment of the damage, as indicated by the Councilor for Urban Planning, Public Works and head of the Technical Office. For his part, the mayor stressed that the government group's priority is to offer quality educational facilities for the municipality's students.
