The Andalusian Government's investment in education continues to mark a turning point in improving educational infrastructure in Cádiz. This was emphasized by Ana Mestre, a member of the Andalusian People's Party (PPP), during her speech at the Andalusian Parliament. Mestre praised the efforts of the Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training to respond to a long-standing demand from the educational community at the Lola Flores Secondary School in Jerez de la Frontera: the expansion of its facilities and the permanent elimination of prefabricated classrooms.
In her speech, Ana Mestre recalled that "The Lola Flores Institute is the center with the most prefabricated classrooms in the province of Cádiz.", a situation that has been going on for more than a decade. He explained, This situation is due to the management of previous socialist governments, who opted for temporary solutions to house the Professional Training degree in Cooking, eliminating essential spaces such as music classrooms, laboratories, and chemistry and computer workshops.

"We have received an inheritance of 2.900 pending actions in educational centers in Andalusia, with an annual budget of just 35 million euros, something ridiculous if we consider that this amount is currently managed in a single province while the previous socialist government allocated it to the entire autonomous community."He said.

The Socialist Party's solution to education in Andalusia was prefabricated classrooms, and we have reduced this number by 71 schools under the People's Party government of Juanma Moreno, eliminating these temporary structures."In this way, he highlighted the change in model promoted by the current Andalusian Government, focused on real investments and significant actions.

Now, thanks to the investment in education by the Andalusian Government"Justice will be done," Mestre stated. In this regard, he praised the visit made by the Regional Minister of Educational Development and Vocational Training last February, during which she confirmed the Andalusian Regional Government's commitment to the center's expansion.
