A total of 5,134 primary students and first and second year ESO students from the province of Seville are participating this year in the Summer Reinforcement Programme, which began on July 1 and ends this month. The initiative, which takes place in 61 educational centres, involves 429 teachers.
The Summer Reinforcement Programme of the Junta de Andalucía has reached a record participation figure this year in the province of Seville, with 5,134 primary students and first courses of ESO. The initiative, which started on July 1 and runs until the end of the month, is taking place in 61 educational centres with the involvement of 429 teachers.
The territorial delegate of the Junta in Seville, Miguel Ángel Araúz, visited the 'Valeriano Bécquer' Infant and Primary School in the Cerro-Amate district, one of the participating centres. There, accompanied by the district delegate, José Lugo, and the school director, Marta Moreno, he highlighted that there are 1,229 more students than in the previous edition, the highest number since the programme began in 2019.
The programme has a dual objective: on one hand, to improve academic performance and prevent early educational dropout by offering a public and free alternative; on the other, to facilitate family reconciliation during the summer. It is aimed at students from public or subsidised centres who have faced difficulties in achieving the competencies of the course, with special attention to Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics, and English.
Participants have been divided into two fortnightly groups, with priority given to those who requested the full month. The schedule is from 9:00 to 14:00 hours, with small groups of between five and 15 students per course. Each day includes workshops for language reinforcement, mathematical reasoning, English skills, and physical-sporting activities, along with healthy lifestyle habits.
In addition, the programme aims for students to acquire organisational habits and study techniques. The programme is co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus, and the centres receive teaching materials and a guide with active and innovative methodologies, which includes games and integration dynamics to adapt the teaching-learning process to real contexts.
For Seville families, this initiative provides relief during school holidays, as it offers a free educational resource that also contributes to work-family reconciliation. Those interested in future editions can find out more through educational centres or the territorial delegation of the Junta.
