Doña Ángela was a vocational teacher, close and dedicated. She went out of her way for her students and her role never ended in the classroom.
In 1934, she was appointed manager of the National School for Girls at the Hospice of Ferrol, an institution in charge of socially integrating abandoned children through primary education, musical education and training in useful trades for the city (shipyards and public works).
That same year, the Teachers’ Depuration Commission of La Coruña opened a disciplinary file against Ruiz Robles (of deep religious convictions) because of suspicions arising from a subscription of 50 cents a month that she made in good Christian charity in favor of a fund to help the families of teachers imprisoned because of the Asturias Revolution. Finally, the file was closed (1941) without Ruiz Robles ever being sanctioned.
During 1945, she was a teacher at the Escuela Obrera Gratuita. She never stopped teaching, never needed more than the desire to do so to commit herself to a project.
In her academy ELMACA in Ferrol, she gave classes to candidates during the day and during the night, she helped people with few resources to be trained.
In addition, the academy became a social center. Letters from their emigrant relatives were read and written to the illiterate, literary gatherings were held, food distribution was organized and religious processions could be watched.
