Kaieteur News- The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Nine is preparing to spend approximately $38 million from its $7 billion budgetary allocation, to upgrade the roadways leading to the new Massara and Karasabai Secondary Schools.

This is according to an invitation for bids issued by the regional administration who is currently seeking contractors to undertake the works. It should be noted that the projects will be opened at the Regional Tender Board level on April 17.

According to the document, the regional administration will be upgrading a section of the road to the Massara Secondary School which is in the North Rupununi at an estimated cost of $14 million. The RDC is looking to upgrade approximately 2 km of roadway there.

At Karasabai, which is located in the South Pakaraimas, the project was divided into two lots. Lot 1 will see 3km of a section of the road at Karasabai Secondary school upgraded at an estimated cost of $14 million, while Lot 2 which is another 3km of road will be upgraded for $10 million. This brings the total account of the engineer’s estimates to $38 million.

Additionally, the regional administration is seeking contractors to construct trestles and install storage tanks at the Tabatinga, Massara and Nappi Secondary Schools for a total estimated cost of $28,200,000 (each project is estimated at $9.4million).

This publication understands that all schools identified for these projects are new schools currently under construction.

In February 2023, the Education Ministry turned the sod for the construction of a $1.7 billion secondary school at Karasabai. In October 2024, the ministry then turned the sod for the $182 million Tabatinga Secondary, in November 2024 the construction of the $215 million Nappi Secondary School commenced, which was then followed by $182 million Massara Secondary School.
