Of this amount, the Algarve region has already implemented, by 30 June, 41,51% of the European funds approved by CRESC Algarve 2020 for this qualification of schools.
“The requalification of schools is part of Investment Priority 10.5 – Investment in education, training, vocational training and skills and lifelong learning through the development of training and teaching infrastructures under Axis 7 – Strengthening skills », says the CCDR Algarve.
In the Algarve region, this investment will include the removal of fiber cement in 30 schools and the requalification, reconstruction and equipping of Basic Education establishments in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd cycles and secondary.
