SEO TITLE: Yaiza Invests €400,000 More in Improvements at Local Schools
Families living in the south of Lanzarote have seen another round of investment announced for local schools, with Yaiza Town Council approving a further €400,000 for improvement works across the municipality.
The funding comes from treasury reserves and is intended to cover a mixture of projects: some have already been completed during the summer holidays, others are currently under way, while additional works are being planned in response to requests from the local educational community.
What is being improved?
The programme covers several schools and educational facilities in Yaiza, Playa Blanca, Uga, Las Breñas and Femés.
At CEIP Playa Blanca, work includes a new access ramp linking two buildings, helping improve accessibility around the school. Repairs have also been carried out to the dining-room roof following water leaks.
At the school in Las Breñas, two bathrooms are being completely refurbished.
The small rural school in Femés is also included, with plans and works involving a shaded area, improvements to walls and new flooring.
In Uga, several changes are planned around the school. These include creating additional space to respond to demand for school meals, improvements to the playground, a new storage area and a new bathroom for teaching staff.
CEIP Yaiza is also receiving attention, including a new bathroom for younger pupils and improvements to the main entrance.
Safer access around Uga school
The investment is not limited to the buildings themselves. The council has also highlighted improvements around CEIP Uga, where a pedestrian route and additional parking spaces have been created to make access to the school safer and more practical.
Why this matters to residents
For families who live in Yaiza and the surrounding communities, school facilities are an important part of everyday life. Improvements such as shaded outdoor areas, accessible entrances, upgraded bathrooms, better dining facilities and safer routes can make a noticeable difference to pupils, teachers and other school staff.
For visitors to Lanzarote, these projects are less likely to affect a typical holiday, but they are another example of ongoing investment in the infrastructure and public facilities serving communities in the south of the island.
The €400,000 allocation follows other municipal investment in local infrastructure and forms part of the council's continuing programme of works in Yaiza.
A continuing programme of improvements
According to Yaiza Town Council, the latest funding will allow the municipality to continue addressing requests raised by the educational community while completing works already under way.
For residents searching for information about Yaiza schools, Playa Blanca schools, Uga school improvements and education facilities in Lanzarote, the programme shows that work is continuing across several communities rather than being concentrated in one location.
The council's announcement was made on 1 October 2026 following approval of the additional funding in a municipal plenary session.
