IES Cotes Baixes

IES Cotes Baixes High School from Alcoi has a long history that comes back from the first law concerning Vocational Training studies back in the 200s. Later, with the extension of the law of the year 1970, the school stops depending on the Industrial Engineering School from Alcoy to become a center with full capacity for self-management, and it offers specialties of Delineation, Textile, Administrative, Automotive and Electricity.

Traditionally the textile industry has been the primary source of wealth of Alcoy. The crisis in the textile sector has joined the virtual disappearance of the traditional paper and metallurgical industries, and now the city is in full restructuring. In recent years the number of workers affiliated to the Social Security has been dramatically reduced, and it has been noticeable the reduction of jobs in traditional sectors of the city, either by closure or by the transfer of companies to other nearby towns. The school is located in the industrial estate of Cotes Baixes, in the neighborhood of the North Area of the city. It is the most populous district of Alcoy, with 17,462 inhabitants, 27.46% of the city population. Its population is mainly working class it is also an area with considerable immigration.
