Accompanied by the GOPA-DERD team, the attendees toured the school buildings, classrooms, administrative offices, and laboratories to review the restoration and rehabilitation work carried out across the school’s two blocks, discussing the project’s implementation stages and commending the high quality of implementation, in accordance with the highest standards.
GOPA-DERD’s team had implemented the school’s restoration and rehabilitation in two phases: the first phase encompassed finishing works, carpentry, metalwork, electrical installations, and aluminum work, as well as the rehabilitation of sports facilities, including the maintenance of the basketball court, the construction of new football pitches, garden cleanups, tree planting, and the provision of waste bins across the schoolyards.
The second phase focused on equipping and furnishing the classrooms, administrative offices, and the library with appropriate furniture.
This project aims to provide a safe and comprehensive educational environment that enables students to continue their education under improved conditions, especially as “Al-Thawra” School is the only secondary school for boys in the town.
