El Town hall of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell wants to bet that students and their families have the necessary facilities to access higher education. The Department of Youth, in charge of Víctor Bisquert, has launched specific mobility aids for students, both university and master's degrees, as well as high school and intermediate and advanced training cycles. Likewise, students who do not use the bus transport already subsidized to the IES Teulada can also opt for the aid.
In total, 3.000 euros have been reserved for the granting of these grants, whose individual amount will be maximum 120 euros. This amount will be helpful for "Many families who have difficulties in coping with all the expenses of having a student child", said Bisquert, who stressed the importance of "Give the youth of our people, regardless of their economic situation, the possibility of carving a future."
