A grant is offered to the AMIPA (Association of Parents and Students) from each IES for the hiring of teachers in order to provide support in the afternoons to the students in the most difficult subjects.

- The programme "Calvià, Municipi Creatiu" aims to develop creative aspects in all areas working from the nurseries to the schools of adults going through schools and institutes. It is a question of training all groups to focus daily work from a creative perspective, facilitating strategies and new techniques, and generating new ideas and innovation.
