The Arenal School in Javea seems to continue having problems. So far this one-year old school has received 20 applications for the coming year while there are 50 places available. The head of the school denies that this is a result of last years problems, including leaks and heating problems. According to the councillor of education the school receives bad press because most of the pupils attending are foreigners. |
