Ministry of Education provides update on school air conditioning installation project

The Ministry of Education has announced the next phase of its school air conditioning project, which focuses on full coverage for middle schools and continued implementation in primary schools. The Ministry clarified that the process involves more than just installing units, as it requires upgrading electrical infrastructure to ensure safety for students and staff. Each school is undergoing a technical assessment to balance installation speed with safety standards. Technical or procedural issues are being addressed through collaboration with school boards and the Treasury. The government confirmed that the political decision for the project has been finalized and necessary funding has been secured. While critics have pointed to delays, the Ministry maintains that the project is addressing a long-standing need that was ignored for two decades. The administration stated that they remain committed to completing the project in a coordinated manner.
