The call applies to the 2024-2025 academic year and subsequent years, therefore including students of the 2026 academic year.

What the aid covers and the amount

The financial aid is intended for the acquisition of textbooks, reading books, and mandatory computer equipment. The published text specifies what is understood by each concept:

• Mandatory textbooks and reading books: printed material determined by the center, of a durable nature and with a basic function for the development of the curriculum.
• Mandatory computer equipment: material determined by the center and necessary to participate in the digital format textbook program of the Department of Education (digital licenses and computers and/or similar).

Regarding the amounts, the maximum amount is 40 euros per student for both early childhood (2nd cycle) and primary education students, as well as for secondary students. The maximum credit to be distributed in this call is 600.00 euros, financed through the budget application 3-3200-4800201 (Grant for primary school textbooks) of the 2026 fiscal year budget.

If the number of applications exceeds the amount provided for in the assigned budget item, a proportional distribution will be applied among all submitted applications that are eligible.

Impact on families

With this call, the Ajuntament de la Jonquera supports families in the municipality with one of the most significant expenses at the start of the school year, namely the acquisition of textbooks and mandatory digital material. The aid of up to 40 euros per student and the total credit of 600 euros cover, however, a limited number of applications, so families must submit the documentation within the fixed deadline to ensure receipt.
