The Manises City Council has completed the signage of evacuation routes and fire protection systems in all public infant and primary schools in the municipality, taking on a responsibility it believes belongs to the Department of Education.

The municipal prevention service of Manises has finalized the installation of comprehensive signage for evacuation routes and emergency exits in all public infant and primary educational centers. This initiative includes the placement of evacuation plans and the marking of fire protection systems, thereby ensuring a safer environment for the educational community.
The actions undertaken have allowed for the correct identification of key elements such as elevators, fire extinguishers, equipped fire hydrants, alarm buttons, and first aid kits. These measures are fundamental to ensuring basic safety conditions for students, teachers, and all staff working in Manises' educational centers.

"We are talking about essential measures that cannot wait. Safety in schools is not optional and cannot be subject to the neglect of other administrations."

Ángel Mora · Councillor for Human Resources of Manises City Council
The city council has expressed regret at having to allocate municipal resources to cover responsibilities that, in its opinion, fall to the Department of Education, which is directly responsible for educational infrastructure. However, given the lack of action by the autonomous administration, the Manises City Council has decided to intervene to prevent the centers from continuing to face a deficit in safety matters.
