Subsidies (scholarships) for private 0-3 centers in Galicia
The Xunta de Galicia operates a subsidy program for private entities that run 0-3 education to promote the gratuity of the educational care for second and subsequent children and to waive the tuition for the places used by those children for the 2021/22 course. The subsidy is intended to universalize access to early childhood education and requires the private center to meet program conditions and reside in Galicia. The total budget allocated to these subsidies is 10,636,364 euros for 2021-2022. Private centers must be registered in the Registro Único de Entidades Prestadoras de Servicios Sociales (RUEPSS) of the Secretaría de Política Social. The program covers: 1) a 100% discount of the price for educational care provided between January 1, 2021 and August 31, 2022, and 2) 100% waiver of the tuition for the spaces used for the course 2021/22 by second children and subsequent children of a family. The subsidy framework also allows subsidies to private entities that did not previously access government aid and proves the gratuity of the 2020/21 tuition and the 100% discount for the educational care since the start of that course. Educational care means activities within the classroom during ordinary hours. Residence in Galicia is required for beneficiaries. For 2021-2022, the allocation and management of these subsidies follow the rules of the program, and the funding can be extended or adjusted subject to availability and budget modifications.
