The manuals and school material for students of the 1st cycle schools in Olhão that the City Council decided to offer will be delivered between the 5th and 12th of September.
This measure by the municipality, which will require an investment of around 150 thousand euros, covers all public school students and aims to provide support to families in a period that is always heavier, in terms of finances: the return to school.
The kit offered by the municipality can be collected on specific days, at the different schools grouping headquarters in Olhão, between 10:00 and 19:00. On the 5th, the kits for students from schools in this group will be delivered to Escola João Lúcio. This is followed by the EB 2,3 Dr. António João Eusébio School (on the 6th), the EB 2,3 Dr. Alberto Iria School (on the 7th) the EB 2,3 João da Rosa School (on the 8th), the EB School 2,3 Dr. José Carlos da Maia (9th) and the EB School 2,3 Prof. Paula Nogueira (12th).
To receive this material, guardians must be accompanied by their identification and student's document.
First-year students are already entitled to school manuals, offered by the Ministry of Education, but the municipality added activity notebooks and school material to the kit.
In the case of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students, the kit includes manuals, activity notebooks and school material, including "blocks, dossiers, covers, notebooks, micas, tissue or gloss paper, erasers, pencils, ballpoint pens, colored pencils, felt-tip pens, rulers, squares, scissors or compasses, among others», revealed the local authority.
According to the mayor of Olhão António Pina, «the commitment to education is a priority» of the executive he leads. This investment aims to “promote the democratization of education, guaranteeing the right to a fair and effective equality of opportunities for access and school success, especially at the earliest levels of schooling, where universal and generally free education must be ensured, in accordance with the our Constitution”.
