Students from the Salvador Dalí school in Figueres will have to begin the academic year in other educational centers in the city due to a partial collapse of the gymnasium roof in late July.

The incident, which affected a section of the gymnasium's roof, has prompted the Figueres City Council and the Department of Education to conduct thorough technical studies on the structure of the entire school building. This preventive measure aims to ensure the safety of students and teaching and non-teaching staff.
The technical tests, which will last several weeks, will determine if structural reinforcement work is necessary for the school. The school's management, along with both administrations, has made this decision to minimize any potential risks.
Authorities have informed the school's educational community of the decision, urging calm and apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the temporary relocation of students to other schools in Figueres. They emphasize that safety is the utmost priority.
