The Municipal Group-Green United Left in the city of Jumilla has monitored the aid of books issued by the Ministry of Education for the 2013-14 school year in Jumilla, according to the provisional listings resolution of 1013 students schools supported by public funds of Jumilla have lost the aid requested.

The vast majority of them have been denied for "not reach the necessary level of priority within budget."

Or put another way, because although families do meet the requirements for the grant, the budget allocated by the region for this purpose is not enough to grant it.

United Left-Green has found that even families who only charge allowance of 426 euros have been left out of the aid.

According to data from the same calls, budget 2013-14 offered in this course is almost 13% lower than last year and more than 25% less than the year 2011-12.

United Left-Greens Jumilla will file a motion to urge the regional PP government to increase the budgetary allocation to support books and scholarships, so that no pupil is left without it for lack of funds if you qualify in the notice.

In addition to asking the City Council to supplement with budget system for textbook scholarships offered by the CARM to alleviate the aid given to school children not fulfilling the above Jumilla in its election manifesto.

The secretariat of Education IU-Greens in the Region of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, has announced that it will request the attendance at the Regional Meeting of the Minister of Education, Pedro Antonio Sánchez to explain to this body what it regards as a shameful management the provisional resolution of the textbook scholarships this academic year because the Department did not report the resolution of these scholarships to Schools until IU-Greens denounced the occultism of that department, instead of sending the information to, he simply advertise the resolution of the notice in the bulletin board and on its website, as a minor news that even hard to find.

The setback to the aid for the purchase of books by the Ministry of Education is complemented by the impressive cut the minister Wert been applied to this necessary and vital grant.

And the Ministry of Education published the day after Reyes in the Official Gazette a provision on the distribution between regions of the Government's contribution to lasayudas of textbooks and teaching materials.

This year the Executive allocated 18 million euros to this chapter, 12 less than in 2013, representing a reduction of 37.5%.

Also, as often happens very often, our region is one of the most affected by this measure.

So if received 1,611,145 euros in 2013 to allocate scholarships and grants for the purchase of textbooks, this year that number only amounts to 832,947 euros, ie 48% less.

These data further demonstrate the cuts and attacks on public education by the PP, both regionally and nationally, and as the most disadvantaged groups of the population are suffering the consequences of these unjust acts.
