IES Francisco Giner de los

What IES Francisco Giner de los does

IES Francisco Giner de los Ríos is a public secondary education institution (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located at Calle La Matraquilla 5, 18600 Motril, Granada, on the Costa Tropical of Andalusia, Spain. It operates under the authority of the Junta de Andalucía's Consejería de Educación and delivers the standard Spanish secondary curriculum: Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) for compulsory secondary education and Bachillerato for pre-university preparation, organised across 19 academic departments ranging from Biology and Geology to Technology and Computer Science. The institution also runs three vocational training cycles — Gestión de Alojamientos Turísticos (higher degree), Atención a las Personas en Situación de Dependencia (middle degree) and Técnico Superior de Educación Infantil (higher degree) — plus an adult-learner Atención Sociosanitaria certification pathway, covering hospitality, social care and early-childhood education verticals.

The institution's pedagogical model layers five strategic programmes on top of the standard curriculum: the European Parliament Ambassador School (EPAS) programme, participation in which began in the 2022-23 academic year; the Erasmus+ SULAYR vocational mobility consortium led by IES La Zafra; the Erasmus+ STEPS science-education project with partners in Belgium, Croatia and Scotland; the Erasmus+ 'La inclusión dentro de una Europa sostenible' project with partners in Portugal, France, Germany, Poland and the UK; and the GINER EMPRENDE entrepreneurship classroom. The technology stack is standard consumer/SMB educational SaaS — Padlet, Trello, Nearpod, Quizlet, Plickers, TED ED and Anchor — used to support a Transformación Digital Educativa (TDE) initiative plus STEAM robotics in 2nd ESO, with no proprietary platforms or AI capability disclosed.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public school the institution charges no tuition or course fees, and operating capital flows entirely from the regional government budget. Student intake is governed by the Junta de Andalucía's centralised placement system (Secretaría Virtual), making the catchment area and admissions process regulatory rather than commercial in nature. Customer outcomes evidenced in the input include a 2023 alumnus who achieved a top-30 national EVAU score (13.825/14) enabling access to medicine studies, and direct student engagement with European Parliament vice presidents and MEPs through Euroscola sessions. Direct management rests with Director Jesús Bustos Rodríguez, with EPAS and Erasmus+ coordination led by Irene Martín Quirantes.
