Investment in educational infrastructure in the province of Málaga falls by almost one million euros in the Junta de Andalucía budgets for 2027. The allocation of the Agencia Pública de Educación goes from nearly 45 million euros in 2026 to 44 million in 2027, a reduction of 932,000 euros, 2.07%, as denounced by the secretary of Education of the PSOE de Andalucía and Andalusian parliamentarian, Patricia Alba.
The decline is concentrated in secondary education: the allocation for secondary infrastructure drops by almost three million euros, to 16.5 million. In contrast, the Junta announces actions that, according to its estimates, would reach 78 million euros, among them the new secondary schools in Soliva, La Cala del Moral and Benalmádena Pueblo.
Alba has contrasted both figures at a press conference alongside the socialist candidate for Congress José Bernal: «The schools and secondary schools of Málaga will have more announced first stones than finished works, because for a photo op a promise alone is enough, but to build an educational center a budget is needed».
Concerted schools grow while public schools decline
While the overall investment of the Agencia Pública de Educación decreases by 0.38% in Andalucía, funding for concerted education increases by almost 73 million euros, 6.67%. «While units are eliminated from public schools, more money is allocated to continue increasing units in concerted schools», the parliamentarian has stated.
Alba has also warned of the 6.89% reduction in the allocation for the direct management of school canteens, the cut in transport for Formación Profesional students from six to 4.5 million euros and the freezing of the Adriano, Segunda Oportunidad and 6000 scholarships. In addition, she has criticized that until September 2026 only between 22% and 28% of certain educational investment programs had been executed, and has demanded from the Junta transparency about the planned actions, their deadlines and their financing.
Bernal, for his part, has linked these accounts with the whole of the State: «The Partido Popular intends to do in Spain the same as it has done in Andalucía: blow up public services». The candidate has set November 29 as the date on which, in his view, maintaining public services or going backwards is at stake, and has called for mobilization and for concentrating the progressive vote in the PSOE.
