The new program, involving around thirty children, expands the work that Tui's Municipal Childcare Service has been carrying out for the past 15 years, offering a safe space for learning, socialization, and academic improvement, with personalized attention.
The main objective of the G.A.P. is to prevent school failure, facilitate the acquisition of essential skills for the personal and social development of minors, promote educational leisure activities, and broaden the social support network for families at psychosocial risk.
Currently, 28 out of the 48 minors registered in the Tui City Council's Family Education program benefit from the G.A.P. This program runs from Monday to Friday afternoons, with groups of up to 8 minors aged between 7 and 17, in a space provided in the Francisco Sánchez building. Here, they receive comprehensive care, including academic support, emotional assistance, and social integration activities.
The Mayor of Tui, Enrique Cabaleiro, and the Councilor for Culture, Education, and Youth, Sonsoles Vicente, along with social worker Carmen González, held a working meeting with the territorial director of Children's Villages SOS, Víctor Muñoz, and the director of the Proximity Care Groups, Susana Puga, to evaluate the initial weeks of the G.A.P.'s implementation.
Enrique Cabaleiro expressed his satisfaction with the increased individualization and scope of child support thanks to this collaboration. Meanwhile, Sonsoles Vicente highlighted the improvement of the existing program, which now covers other areas, thanks to the work of the municipal Social Services.
