School Books to be free within three years
The Canarian Government's Councillor for Education, Culture and Sports, Isaac Godoy, announced yesterday in Parliament that within three years, all school children in the Canary Islands will be able to obtain their text books free of charge. This comes at the same time as the Socialist Party had asked for a package of measures to fight failure rates in schools. Further measures are promised with particular emphasis on integration, foreign languages and to compensate for inequalities.
