Santa Cruz wants to learn about the Ministry's plans for the Madeira Educational Centre

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 16:12

The Santa Cruz City Council requested a hearing with the Minister of Justice to learn about the Ministry's plans for the Madeira Educational Centre. The Madeiran municipality expressed concern about the future of that infrastructure, which it considers to be underutilized.

The hearing request comes following concerns about the use of the Educational Centre, which is not operating fully. The local authorities intend to obtain concrete information about what the Ministry of Justice plans for that facility.

The infrastructure is currently with little activity, which led the municipality of Santa Cruz to want to clarify the situation. The meeting with the ministry will allow, according to the council, to understand what measures are planned to optimize the use of the space.

The Madeira Educational Centre is an infrastructure that depends on the Ministry of Justice, but is located in the municipality of Santa Cruz, which justifies the local authority's interest in participating in decisions about its future.
