During the ceremony, the Director General, Neus Riera, handed over a digital screen, provided by Eduteca IB’s supplier company, to those in charge of the school and highlighted the good work carried out by the school’s reading club, which has 130 participants who, so far, have dedicated more than 57 hours to learning.

The head of the Club, physical education teacher Yamila di Santo, explained that she has used the Educoteca tool at all levels of ESO and has provided students with study techniques. In addition, in the case of fourth-year ESO students, listening to audiobooks has been encouraged during part of the physical education class to improve the students’ attention span.

The Regional Ministry of Education and Universities launched the Educoteca IB competition at the beginning of this school year intending to promote the creation of reading clubs that had to include a research task for students. The initiative has been very well received by the participating schools.
