C.E.I.P SANTIAGO RAMÓN Y CAJAL

OUR CENTER IS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SCHOOL

The “Santiago Ramón y Cajal” is a building of the European Centre of Rural information and Promotion ( C.E.I.P.) It was built in the 70s on land provisionally giving by the Patronage. Today it still stands and functions in El Polvorín, one of the most socially and culturally disadvantaged areas from the capital of Gran Canaria.

The students that attend this centre, in general, have big social problems, which creates frequent disruptions and lack of motivation towards their studies.

Family disintegration is one of the main reasons for these social difficulties; the family structure is usually irregular; young single mothers, single parent families, adpted children, 3 generation- families, etc. All these are, without a doubt, issues aggressiveness, insecurity, low self-steem, lack of motivation and educational failure.

These children and teenagers daily live in an environment of drug addiction, unemployment, poverty and lack of resources. The economic suation of their families is, in general, precarious. The majority does not even have regular or enough incomes to cover basic needs.

Generally, the inhabitans of El Polvorín isolate themselves and don´t take advantage of cultural or social activities or possibilities in spite of living downtown, remainig in their neighbourdhood during their leisure time.
