For the start of the 2015 school year, the Ministry of mexico phone number data Education, Culture and Sport announced two weeks ago an additional allocation of around 24 million euros for families with fewer resources to offset the costs of facing the new school year.
This amount is being recovered after being lost in 2012 due to the economic crisis. The Ministry of Education estimates that some 240,000 families throughout Spain will be able to benefit from this aid. All families interested in this aid for the purchase of books and school supplies should obtain information from the Education Department of their autonomous community.

In the case of Extremadura , the beneficiaries who meet the required requirements will be able to benefit from 120 euros for the purchase of books in primary school and 150 in secondary school. Another example is that of Galicia, in this case the Xunta , which apart from the aid established for the purchase of books during this course, has provided an extra check of 50 euros for families whose income does not exceed 5,400 euros.
