Antonio Machado School in Marbella: Andalusian Government Studies Bus Stop Viability
The Andalusian Government has acknowledged on Wednesday that it is currently assessing the feasibility of the existing bus stop at Plaza de Toros. This stop is used by students attending the Bahía de Marbella Institute. A decision will not be made until all applications for places have been processed by the end of March.
Response to PSOE Allegations
The Territorial Delegation of Educational Development and Vocational Training in Malaga has responded today to what they describe as allegations from the PSOE. They clarify that these are actually concerns raised by the parents from the Plaza de Toros neighborhood. Last Monday, they requested the continuation of free transportation for students from Antonio Machado School who will start secondary education at the Bahía Marbella Institute next term.
Assurances from the Andalusian Government
The Andalusian Government states that there has never been any consideration to eliminate the referred school transport line. They are simply studying the viability of the existing stop at Plaza de Toros for students attending the Bahía Institute. This is essentially what has been alleged. They remind that this service has been provided since 2020 in an “extraordinary” manner and criticize the PSOE for their lack of rigor and knowledge.
Planning and Provisional Information
The Andalusian Government explains that the feasibility study is part of the ongoing planning tasks. Therefore, throughout March, places are requested at various educational centers and until this process is completed, there will be no reliable data. They also state that the information sent to educational centers is always provisional and will become official once the data is consolidated.
Call for Calm Among Families
Finally, in their statement, they ask families to remain calm and assure them that the decision will be communicated to them directly with the utmost guarantees that the service will be covered.
