December 20: Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) handed over newly reconstructed school buildings to the school management committee of Path Pradarshak Secondary School in Badikhel, Lalitpur on Tuesday, December 19.
The newly reconstructed buildings consist of three new blocks consisting of six classrooms, laboratory, ECD, library, lavatories along with other required facilities, according to JICA.
Jun Sakuma, chief representative of JICA Nepal and Madhu Prasad Regmi, secretary at the Ministry of Education, jointly inaugurated the school infrastructures amidst a function held on the school premises, JICA said in a statement.
The construction of the buildings which began in June 2016 was built under Emergency School Reconstruction Project (ESRP). The project is being implemented by the Central Level Project Implementation Unit of the Ministry of Education under Japanese ODA loan assistance.
“The school was severely damaged during the earthquake of 2015. Since then, the school faced difficulties in managing the classrooms and education for the students. The secondary school was established back in 1963 and now has 474 students altogether. The new buildings are constructed with multihazard resilient structures which are environment, child, gender and disable friendly and are expected to provide improved learning environment to the students,” reads the statement.
Speaking at the event, JICA Nepal’s Chief Representative Sakuma said, “Development of education sector in Nepal is one of primary motives of JICA and completion of this building is a positive commencement to various ongoing school reconstruction endeavors of JICA Nepal.”
Approximately 300 schools are being built at a total cost of 14 billion Japanese yen (about NRs 12.7 billion) to support the reconstruction of disaster resilient schools in Gorkha, Dhading, Nuwakot, Makwanpur, Rasuwa and Lalitpur districts, based on the earthquake-resistant type design guidelines formulated by JICA under the principle of “Build Back Better (BBB)”. The rebuilt schools are expected to serve as potential regional hubs for improving the quality of education.
