The mayor of Écija, Silvia Heredia, along with the delegate for Education, Ana Carmona, accepted the award on behalf of the City Council and the entire educational community. The award ceremony was held at the Teatro Municipal Sanjuán and was attended by Almudena García, Director General of Educational Participation and Inclusion.
Heredia expressed her satisfaction with the recognition, stating it is an honor to receive the award on behalf of everyone involved. She highlighted that the award validates the city's model, driven by the municipal government, which is based on coordinated actions among various municipal departments, educational centers, associations, families, and social agents.
The objective of these initiatives is to build a city committed to education, eradicating school absenteeism, ensuring equal opportunities, and fostering active citizen participation. Among the valued actions are the coordination of municipal services for education, the involvement of the Local Police, coexistence and participation projects from the Youth department, support for families and prevention of absenteeism from Social Inclusion, Equality, and Family, as well as the promotion of reading through the Culture department.
The mayor thanked the Junta de Andalucía for its collaboration and the work of all the professionals and groups involved in this initiative.
