Murcia under‑3 population to grow 20%

- New projections show Murcia's population under three will grow by more than 20% over the next decade while primary rolls are set to shrink. - Forecasts expect Murcia to lose over 10,000 primary pupils by 2035, and Spain as a whole could lose more than 600,000 pupils in the next decade. - The demographic squeeze suggests opportunities for smaller targeted groups and greater emphasis on smooth transitions from 0–3 provision into primary.
