The Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos hosted on the afternoon of this Tuesday, November 10, the presentation of the fourth edition of the Awards for Excellence and Academic Effort, with which the Ayuntamiento de Torremolinos distinguishes the students of the municipality's schools. In total, 41 students have been recognized: 15 for educational excellence and 26 for their effort. The awards are divided into two categories. The Academic Excellence category distinguishes those who have obtained the best grades at each stage: three in Primary, three in Secondary, five in Bachillerato and two in Grado Medio and another two in Grado Superior of Formación Profesional. In Bachillerato, five awards were given instead of the three initially planned because the five students achieved the same grade, a 10. The second part of the event was dedicated to the Effort Awards, which recognize involvement, perseverance and personal development throughout the educational trajectory. The 26 recognitions are distributed in Aula Específica (one), Educación Primaria (13), Educación Secundaria (seven), Bachillerato (four) and Formación Profesional de Grado Medio (one). The event was attended by the mayor of Torremolinos, Margarita del Cid, and the councillor for Education, Francisco García, together with representatives of the schools, management teams, teachers, mothers' and fathers' associations, family members and the awarded students. Del Cid stressed the work behind the results: «Behind every good result there are many hours of study, sacrifice, perseverance and dedication». Regarding those awarded for effort, she noted that «success is not always measured in grades» and that it also lies in the ability to overcome and not give up in the face of difficulties. The mayor also acknowledged the families, whose support she considered key in their children's education.
