Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, presided over the event, which took place on a recent trip to the region, marking a significant step forward in improving access to quality education. The newly commissioned school, valued at $12, 621, 230, is designed to provide a modern and conducive learning environment for the children of Quiko, the ministry said in a press release.
The facility is equipped with spacious classrooms, contemporary teaching resources, and ample outdoor spaces for recreational activities. The school’s infrastructure is built to meet the educational needs of the growing student population, ensuring that every child has access to a safe and supportive environment for learning.
