Coligação aumentou investimento na Educação, Cultura e Desporto em 66%, realça Sofia Ribeiro
A Secretária Regional da Educação, Cultura e Desporto, Sofia Ribeiro, adiantou hoje, na audição em sede de comissão parlamentar sobre as propostas de Plano e Orçamento, que a coligação PSD/CDS-PP/PPM aumentou o investimento nas áreas da sua tutela em 66% desde 2020, último ano da governação socialista. Em causa, realçou, estavam investimentos de 36,7 milhões de euros em 2020, que comparam com os 61 milhões de euros projetados nas propostas de Plano e Orçamento para 2025. Na educação, Sofia Ribeiro assinalou, por exemplo, a “quase duplicação” do investimento das Escolas Digitais, de modo a “concluir o processo de desmaterialização dos manuais digitais e com previsão de um forte investimento em equipamentos para as escolas e para os alunos”. “Garantimos um aumento no valor apoiado por aluno beneficiário da Ação Social Escolar”, prosseguiu, antes de acrescentar que a maior fatia do Plano de investimentos neste campo “volta a ser aplicada na Ação Social, com 16 milhões de euros destinados”. E acrescentou: “Como prometemos e anunciámos, em 2025 temos uma ação para o apoio à fixação dos docentes, que já estava previsto em 2024. Com o chumbo do Orçamento, não foi possível concretizar”. Na cultura, a Secretária Regional garante que haverá um aumento do apoio aos agentes culturais da Região, “incluindo filarmónicas e a defesa do património baleeiro”. No campo desportivo, será mantido o investimento que acompanhe “o aumento de praticantes e desportistas federados, alcançado este ano de 2024”. Transversal a todos os setores estão as atualizações salariais dos trabalhadores, recorde-se. A discussão e votação das propostas de Plano e Orçamento para 2025 está marcada para a sessão plenária deste mês da Assembleia Legislativa da Região Autónoma dos Açores.

Project presented for construction of new Lagoa Basic Education School building
The Regional Secretary for Education, Culture and Sport, Sofia Ribeiro, and the Regional Secretary for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures, Berta Cabral, were present today at the presentation of the Preliminary Study for the Lagoa Basic Education School Project. According to Sofia Ribeiro, "This is a happy day because it is a project that we have been looking forward to for 40 years, and now it is going to become a reality." "One of our concerns since the beginning of the previous term of office was to survey this school and all its needs. Today is the result of a process in which we have always worked together with the School Board and we have a project that covers all the needs of this school, whether for students, teachers or all the educational staff," she said. Berta Cabral stated that "the main assumptions underpinning the design of the project were, firstly, to build a school adapted to the climate of the Azores, with architectural features that would allow students and teachers to move around in covered spaces, and secondly, that this educational establishment should have a sports hall suitable for practising the various sports with independent access, available to the community." "This is a huge investment - more than 11 million Euros - which must be maximised and made available to the entire community," she said. Berta Cabral also emphasised that the Regional Secretariat she oversees has made huge investments in education and sport, highlighting the Capelas School, the Rabo de Peixe School and the Arrifes School, all of which have been completed. She also highlighted the ongoing works at the Manuel de Arriaga School and the upcoming works at the Jerónimo Emiliano de Andrade School. The overall investment in education in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 stands at 52 million Euros. The new school will accommodate 240 middle school children, organized into approximately 15 classes. The public tender for the design of the project was opened for interested architecture firms to submit their ideas and proposals for the new Lagoa Basic Education School. Once the submission phase was closed (four proposals were submitted), they were assessed and rated according to various predefined criteria, such as the overall design, the functionality of the solutions and organisation of the spaces, the general economy of the construction and the life cycle of the materials and equipment to be incorporated into the construction. One of the most important factors that must be safeguarded in the construction project, compared to previous procedures, concerns the sustainability of the construction and the materials to be used, the building's energy efficiency, integrated resource management and rainwater use, among others, as a way of reducing the building's operating and maintenance costs over the years. The proposal from the architecture firm Entreplanos, Gabinete de Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design, was selected after analysing and evaluating all submitted proposals. Unlike the current school complex, which is made up of several blocks scattered around the site, the new project plans to congregate the entire school complex in the northern part of the site, covering an overall area of 15,600m2. This option will make all the school's spaces easily accessible to students, teachers, parents and the remaining educational staff. The preliminary study now being presented includes the demolition of all the existing buildings and consists of four new different areas: the school building, the sports hall, the outdoor sports centre and the playgrounds for students. With a construction area of approximately 3,800 m2, the school building is structured on three floors: the main entrance level houses the administration and management areas, the socio-educational support/inclusive education areas and some teaching spaces. The lower floor houses the media library, the auditorium and the social and socialisation spaces. The first floor will be reserved for teaching spaces. The project proposes the creation of 10 regular classrooms, 5 classrooms for small groups, a music room, a natural sciences laboratory and two multifunctional classrooms with all the necessary support spaces. The sports hall covers an area of approximately 2,100 m2 and includes a playing area, changing rooms, a room for physical education teachers, and various technical facilities, among others. This space will have independent access from the school, allowing members of the community to use it outside of school hours. The outdoor sports centre comprises two playing fields and an athletics track. The playground includes various outdoor areas, including covered areas. The threshing floor will be transformed into a small open-air amphitheatre for the use of the school community. In addition, the project includes redesigning the entire school front, with the southern part of the site redeveloped for car parking, thus relieving the parking pressure on this area.
