The Government of Malawi has received from the German Government a myriad of improved and newly built school infrastructure in 60 teaching practice primary schools and Lilongwe, Blantyre and St Joseph teachers training colleges (TTCs).
The infrastructure, among others, include; 308 classrooms, administration blocks, 60 semi-detached teachers houses, solar power and toilets, built either in the primary schools selected from seven districts or the three TTCs.
The German Government built or improved the infrastructure to the tune of 25 billion Malawian Kwacha through its two international development agencies, namely: KfW banking group and German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ).
A handover ceremony was held at Mitundu Primary School in Lilongwe, where, among other things, eight classrooms, a borehole and an administration block were constructed.
The Minister of Education, Agnes NyaLonje, in her remarks commended the German Government for the gesture, saying the infrastructure will help raise education standards, hence leading to the achievement of the Malawi 2063 development agenda.
On his part, the German Ambassador to Malawi, Ralph Timmermann, described the improved and newly built infrastructure as a huge programme, which cements the long partnership between Malawi and Germany.
Some of the seven districts where the primary schools were selected for the project include: Salima, Dedza, Lilongwe and Mchinji.
