He said the work will commence when the school goes on vacation, as government wants the job to be completed before January 2017. “The advantage of the project is that we will have additional classrooms and by extension student population will increase. “With more classrooms more students will be accommodated.Secondly, the investment will provide more conducive learning environment for the students and with this the student performance will be excellent.
