This was announced by the minister and spokesperson for the government, Ruth Merino, who appeared at a press conference after the meeting of the Valencian government.
"We are still very aware of the economic situation and the difficulties that many families are going through, mainly due to inflation”, said Merino, who confirmed that there will be no increase in prices for the 20232024 academic year, nor in undergraduate courses or in masters.
The support measure agreed by the regional government is included within a set of actions to help the family economy. "We see that they are going through delicate moments for many months, and for this reason we want to continue working to help them”, Merino said.

DURING the past year, the Ministry of Health has granted aid to 413 municipalities to collaborate with their town halls in the fight against the tiger mosquito. Specifically, 82 municipalities in Castellón, 236 in Valencia and the remaining 95 in the province of Alicante.
The Valencian Community is one of the few regions that has this type of subsidy.
The control of mosquitoes and other species is carried out by town halls, but the Ministry of Health carries out support actions and technical advice to municipalities to reinforce the programmes they develop, especially for populations with less economic capacity. This type of aid is managed in collaboration with the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
Specifically, for this year, the total amount of subsidies amounts to €350,000, and the maximum amount received by each municipality amounts to €15,000.
