Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).– The Jalisco Ministry of Education (SEJ), in coordination with municipal authorities, delivered furniture for two basic education schools in Jocotepec last week.
After 20 years of being overlooked, the J. Vicente Negrete elementary school in El Molino and the Francisco Villa elementary school in La Loma received 711,978.56 pesos (about US$34,000) in school equipment.
The Francisco Villa school received 246 chairs made of ironwork with plastic and 126 binary tables for students, at a cost of 362,743.60 pesos (about US$17,300).
In the case of J. Vicente Negrete, the equipment also consisted of 246 chairs and 126 tables, plus 12 chairs specifically for the teaching staff at a value of 349,234.96 pesos (about US$16,700).
«The Ministry of Education provided complete furniture for the elementary school in collaboration with the municipality’s personnel,» stated Ana María Cano Espinoza, director of education of the municipality.
Mayra Berenice García Ramírez, principal of the J. Vicente Negrete school, thanked the authorities for the support and for «finally being listened to,» as she explained that their equipment had not been updated for more than 20 years.
«The children are thrilled with the new furniture, it already feels different. We had been using the same tables and chairs for more than 20 years and they were getting uncomfortable,» she said.
Also, the SSJ provided 160 meters of wiring for the El Molino elementary school because in September 2021 it suffered several robberies that left it without electrical circuits.
