The German-funded school construction project aims
to bolster the educational structure in the Kingdom, especially in areas
hosting refugees, while also reducing overcrowding in local schools, according
to Kisbi. He also underlined the ministry’s intent to cement cooperation with
the KfW in the creation and implementation of additional education-related
projects in various parts of the Kingdom.
Kisbi noted that the tenders divided the project
into four stages; the first and second include conducting studies and creating
designs to build 18 new schools, with four schools still being processed.
During the third and fourth stages, eight to nine schools will be built through
consulting offices that will design and oversee the architectural part of the
work. The ministry is currently evaluating the architectural designs of the
schools as part of a contest.
The German government has recently granted a €100 million
loan through the KfW to build 20 new schools and expand others across the
Kingdom.
