Barcelona City Council has reinforced security around two educational centres in the city, according to a statement from the Ajuntament de Barcelona. The measure is part of an ongoing effort to improve safety for students, staff and nearby residents.
Officials did not specify the exact locations of the schools or the precise nature of the changes. The council also did not say whether the work involved police presence, lighting, traffic calming or other measures.
The decision follows concerns about safety in school areas. City authorities are focusing on creating safer surroundings where children can travel to and from school with less risk.
The initiative forms part of a wider approach to community safety in Barcelona. Similar actions have been used in other parts of the city, with local police, urban planning teams and school administrations often working together.
The council is expected to monitor how effective the new measures are. Further announcements on safety programmes for educational facilities across Barcelona may follow. For more local coverage, see our news page.
