Flood risk takes center stage at key session in Almassora with mayors, technicians and emergency services

The Almassora City Council hosted this Monday the first of six information sessions on the Special Plan for Flood Risk. The event brought together the mayor, municipal technicians and emergency services to address flood and inundation prevention in the region.

The initiative was organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Emergencies in collaboration with the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP). The main objective of these sessions is to strengthen prevention and improve coordination among municipalities in response to episodes of intense rainfall and flooding.

Almassora was chosen as the starting point for this training cycle that will take place in different localities. The sessions aim to equip local authorities and emergency services for a more effective response in situations of flood risk.

OECD exams for 15-year-old students: PISA 2025 report results to be released this Tuesday

The OECD releases this Tuesday the results of the PISA 2025 report, an international exam administered every three years to 15-year-old students in 90 countries, assessing competencies in mathematics, language, and sciences. The educational community and political authorities await the data with anticipation, after the 2022 results — the first after the pandemic — were considered devastating. On that occasion, Spain recorded declines in all three assessed competencies, although less pronounced than in other neighboring countries. With the publication of PISA 2025, it will be possible to determine whether student performance improved, remained stable, or worsened.
