There were not enough schools. For this reason, trying to solve the problem, City Hall created the municipal schools. But they were not sufficient. So barrio residents began to demand more schools. The Padre Catal\u00e0 School was a result of these local struggles, born out of the need for a good school in Benimaclet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"exp-col-content-holder\">\n<p><a class=\"expand-cnt-link\" href=\"http:\/\/2016.benimacletconta.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?lang=ca&amp;action=edit&amp;post_type=post&amp;post=1996#\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"hidden-content\">\n<p class=\"hiddenContentp\">Mr. Sebasti\u00e1n Zaragoza, parish priest in Benimaclet, donated land so that the building of the school could begin. This was possible because of land that the parish priest Francisco Catal\u00e0 Borja had left in his testament. That is why the school was named after him. Father Catal\u00e0 was parish priest of Benimaclet from 1886 until his death in 1899, at the age of 47. He was buried in Benimaclet according to his own wish. In his times, there were 84 houses and 628 families in Benimaclet.<\/p>\n<p>The school was inaugurated in 1980. During the first year, only the pre-school part was open. In those times it was called <em>parvulitos<\/em>, \u201clittle infants.\u201d To begin with, there were two groups for pre-school education. But thanks to local campaigns, which managed an extension of school land, it was possible to open a third group. Once this school was opened, the teachers of the former parish schools transferred to the Padre Catal\u00e0 School.<\/p>\n<p>Already in this first year, the Parents\u00b4 Association (<em>Asociaci\u00f3n de Padres y Alumnos (A.P.A)<\/em>) was created. In order to become a member, one had to pay a fee of 1000 pesetas. At that time, in spite of being public, the school suffered lots of scarcities, above all in relation to equipment and installations, and the A.P.A. helped economically as much as it could: paper, text-books, material for the Department of Educational Psychology, curtains, physical education material, money for extra-curricular classes, outings, etc. The association also communicated these deficiencies to the Department of Education, through the federation of parents\u00b4 associations. And it managed to obtain a 20% discount for its members on the price of school books and for them to be able to pay at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Padre Catal\u00e0 School has made a commitment to innovation and pedagogical renewal. It has made an effort to integrate new families that are living in Benimaclet. Also, it has worked in an academic programme faced to intercultural coexistence, and it is commited to new experiences and to have a school opened to our world culture. In that way, it focuses on new technologies and language learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_comments_list '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='av-buildercomment av-av_comments_list-56c66b2695468e12d3120bc7169a9873  av-blog-meta-html-info-disabled'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[99,117],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1995"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2477,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions\/2477"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
