Revamp work at 25 public schools on track

Twenty-five government schools across Bahrain are undergoing maintenance works to be ready for the new school year 2018-2019.

The Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Ministry is carrying out the plan which was agreed with the Ministry of Education under the 2028 school maintenance programme.

“The maintenance work aims to ensure the safety of the school buildings, and lengthen their life span and improve the internal environment,” said maintenance director Huda Mirza.

She revealed that BD1.8 million were allocated to conduct the comprehensive maintenance programme, which covered this year twenty-five schools across Bahrain.

She announced the revamped schools would be handed over to the Ministry of Education before the beginning of the new school year 2018-2019, adding that maintenance work started on the 5th of August.
